--The test was administered by Sari Breitenfeldt Dersam starting on the afternoon of 4-24-26. The test was administered at Todd's home and started at 4pm. The pups were all awake and active. -Social Att: All 3's = came readily, tail up. A happy bunch. Good. -Following: 3's = followed readily, tail up. (See Blue) They like people! -Restraint: Most struggled, then settled. Only Iris made eye contact. -Soc. Dom.: 3's = Cuddled up to tester and tried to lick face. -Ele. Dom.: All 3's. Good. -Retrieving: They either retrieved (3), or retrieved with call (3-), or picked it up and played with it without retrieving. They were quite playful. -Touch Sen.: A very tough bunch. They either didn't pull away or pulled away just at 9-10 seconds. -Sound Sen.: They were not bothered much or at all by sound. -Sight Sen.: All 2's. Good. -Stability: They were not much bothered by an umbrella popping open. Several went up to the umbrella and sniffed or mouthed it. Daisy and Iris tried to fetch it... lol. Todd: They are going to be bold, independent, but biddable. They will be fast and very tough in the field. If you are careful with gun noise introduction it is unlikely they will be gun shy. :^) Man, are you going to HAVE FUNNNNN!!!!! Feel free to call me with questions! Todd - 406-498-5236.

The information below is from a site that is focused on show and pet homes: Mostly 1’s: Strong
desire to be pack leader and is not shy
about bucking for a promotion. Has a
predisposition to be aggressive to people
and other dogs and will bite. Should only
be placed into a very experienced home
where the dog will be trained and worked
on a regular basis. Stay away from the
puppy with a lot of 1’s or 2’s. It has
lots of leadership aspirations and may be
difficult to manage. This puppy needs an
experienced home. Not good with children. Mostly 2’s Also has
leadership aspirations. May be hard to
manage and has the capacity to bite. Has
lots of self-confidence. Should not be
placed into an inexperienced home. Too
unruly to be good with children and
elderly people, or other animals. Needs
strict schedule, loads of exercise and
lots of training. Has the potential to be
a great show dog with someone who
understands dog behavior. *Mostly
3’s Can
be a high-energy dog and may need lots
of exercise. Good with people and other
animals. Can be a bit of a handful to
live with. Needs training, does very
well at it and learns quickly. Great dog
for second time owner. Mostly 4’s: The kind
of dog that makes the perfect pet. Best
choice for the first-time owner. Rarely
will buck for a promotion in the family.
Easy to train, and rather quiet. Good with
elderly people, children, although may
need protection from the children.
Choose this pup, take it to obedience
classes, and you will be the star, without
having to do too much work! -- The puppy
with mostly 3’s and 4’s can be quite a
handful but should be good with children
and does well with training. Energy needs
to be dispersed with plenty of exercise. Mostly 5’s: Fearful,
shy and needs special handling. Will run
away at the slightest stress in its life.
Strange people, strange places, different
floor, or ground surfaces may upset it.
Often afraid of loud noises and terrified
of thunderstorms. When you greet it upon
your return, may submissively urinate.
Needs an incredibly special home where the
environment does not change too much and
where there are no children. Best for a
quiet, elderly couple. If cornered and
cannot get away, tends to bite. -- Avoid
the puppy with several 6’s. It is so
independent it does not need you or
anyone. He is his own person and unlikely
to bond to you. Mostly 6’s: So
independent that he doesn’t need you or
other people. Does not care if he is
trained or not - he is his own person
Unlikely to bond to you, since he does not
need you. A great guard dog for gas
stations! Do not take this puppy and think
you can change him into a lovable bundle -
you cannot, so leave well enough alone. |
