A dog cannot be "shy" or "fearful" and be protective in the manner we think of when we use the word protection. However the dog can be shy or fearful and still be an adaquate deterent by putting on a display of false fierceness. No way will he really protect you though.
Whatever I know is from what I've read here on the board so I'm not sure about this. But what Desy describes sounds a bit like a "handler-soft" and submissive" dog. From what I've read here that does not necessarily equal "fearful". Can somebody who actually knows something please clarify? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Let some expert comment, from what I have read here I do not see any problem WITH THE DOG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Goes to investigate when people are fighting?
Barks at strangers coming to home?
What's wrong with that? I do not get it...

There is no problem necessarily with the behaviors you described. The original question was can a dog be shy or fearful and still protect you. The answer is no. The dog CAN be a deterent, but it will not protect you when the chips are down.
