Do certain breeds just naturally have different personalities? I have 3 different breeds & I've noticed they all have different personality traits especially when it comes to being handled.
My colorpack doesn't like being picked up but won't actively fight you (just run off & make you chase them). If you create a little hand cave they will gladly cuddle up inside, enjoying the extra warmth, & doze off.
My amberlink also doesn't like being picked up & wants nothing to do with the hand cave but if you hold still they will explore you & the surrounding area peacefully.
My dominate copper wants nothing to do with being picked up, they'll run & peck you to get left alone. They want nothing to do with being near us & will constantly try to run off.
I try not to over handle them, but I want them to be comfortable around my & my daughter (who isn't actually allowed to handle them as she is 2). But I do wonder if the coppers will always be so easily spooked & if handling them is moot point?
