Other Comments:





The test was administered by our experienced dog friend Judy Strom.  The test started at 1:30 PM and was completed by 2:45 PM.  All the pups were alert and awake while the test was proceeding.

Social Attraction:  You can see that they are quite perky and friendly.  They all came to a stranger with their tail up.

Following: They all followed well.  Rocket and Spangle got underfoot while following.

Restraint: This was more variable.  Fife and Patriot did not struggle at all.  The others struggled some and Rocket struggled a lot.

Social Dominance: All 3's, they all cuddled and licked, very friendly.

Elevation Dominance: All 3's, very relaxed.

Retrieving: All retrieved straight to Judy!  I really like this in a litter!!

Touch Sensitivity: All 3's except for a 2 and a 4.

Sound Sensitivity: All 4's therefore, are well used to loud noises and are not overly sensitive to them.

Sight Sensitivity: All 3's.  These pups like to chase things and fetch them.

Stability: We used a large red umbrella.  They all were not very bothered when it popped open near them.

Over all, as breeders we are VERY happy with the consistency of this litter.  This consistency however, makes your puppy choice harder....  GOOD LUCK CHOOSING!!  :^)
