The test was administered by our GREAT dog
friend Judy Strom at about 7 PM, 4-19-10 in a classroom at the high
school. Judy had not seen these pups before (she has been off
placing a dog at the Welsh spaniel nationals). They were quite
awake and happy when the test was given. Social attraction: They all came readily, Heather is a bit more tentative than the others but, very close. Big old Yarrow is the happiest camper of the lot. Following: They all followed readily, tail up. Restraint: All 3's. They all settled, struggled, settled with some eye contact. This says that they are neither to dominant nor submissive. Good all around family dogs. Social dominance: 2-4's are all good. They all came to Judy and were real friendly. Elevation Dominance: 3's straight across, very mellow, no struggle, relaxed. Retrieving: THEY ALL RETRIEVED!! And, were happy about it. :-) Touch Sensitivity: They were all middle of the road in response. Sound Sensitivity: They all listened, located the sound (banging on a metal pan) and then ignored it. Sight Sensitivity: They all followed the towel on a string, chaised it and caught it. Several then fetched it. Heather wanted to play tug-of-war for a bit and then fetched it with prompting...<lol> Todd's comments: All in all, a very uniform litter (Judy's comment also). They will all make good family dogs and hunting companions. They should be fine in the field and show ring. None appear aggressive or too submissive. There is not really much difference in their personalities. We are quite pleased as we try and breed uniform, good temperament Brittanys. They should be mellow like their mom "Mellow Meadow". |
