The test was administered by our experienced dog friend Judy Strom on Thur., July 16th, 2020. The test was administered in Judy's large garage. It was at 10am. The temp. was starting to get warm but not at all to hot yet. They were all awake at the start of the test but soon all fell asleep waiting for their turn. Social Attraction & Following: All 3's which means they "came readily, tail up". Tail up means they are happy and confident. Following: All happily followed. A two means " Followed readily, tail up, got underfoot". They really like people!! Restraint: All fairly similar, mostly 3's. Three means: "Settled, struggled, settled with some eye contact". Social Dominance: All good 3's except Arnie. He is a bit more independent. Elevation Dominance: Mostly 4's with two 3's. Four means "no struggly, relaxed". They are easy to handle. Retrieving: They all fetched well!!!!! :-) It is so cool to watch them just pick up the item and bring it right to the tester! Several pointed first and then fetched. Touch Sensitivity: Fairly tough pups. Sound Sensitivity: None scared of the noise. Mostly interested in it. No 5's or 1's so all good and no scaredy-cats. Sight Sensitivity: They all wanted to play with the object. Good. Stability: Most just startled and then were fine with an umbrella popping open near them. Doc tried to retrieve the umbrella. Over all they were friendly, fairly consistent and bold. They are an active bunch and love humans!! Todd :^) Feel free to call me with questions! Todd - 406-498-5236. I also suggest you visit the following links and use these as you go over the results above. The Volhard site seems to be down at this time. https://www.dreamydoodles.com/2013/01/08/the-puppy-aptitude-test/ https://www.searchdogs.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Volhard-Puppy-Aptitude-Test.pdf http://landofpuregold.com/puptest.htm |

Having fun back at home after the Volhard test. |

The information below is from a site that is focused on show and pet homes:
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. |
