The test was administered by Laura on Wednesday, Aug. 7th, 2024. The test was administered in a garage starting at 7pm. The pups had had a long day. They went to the vet in the morning and were evaluated, wormed and had their first shot. They did get to rest most of the afternoon. Close to 3.0 is a good score. Over all are an active, independent bunch and love humans!! They do not bark much... They sure are fun right now!!!! 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 usual Volhard site seems to be down at this time. https://www.dreamydoodles.com/2013/01/08/the-puppy-aptitude-test/ http://landofpuregold.com/puptest.htm |

Dill at 6 weeks. |

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. |
