Is it normal for my puppy to be kind of aloof?

I've raised a number of German Shepherds, but never one from puppyhood. My best German Shepherd calls every time he is called and he always sticks by my side and is super obedient and loyal - all without any formal training. My newest puppy is right now 11 weeks old and he seems kind of aloof and stubborn. He'll come most of the time when I call him, but other times when I call him, he'll just ignore me and he doesn't seem all that enthusiastic sometimes about coming over to me. Is this normal and is this just a phase? As much as I love all dogs, I love the GSD specifically because it's such a loyal and obedient dog that sticks to you like glue and I'm just afraid he won't be.
