The test was administered by our experienced dog friend Laura Engleman on Friday, April 5th, 2019.  The test was administered in the old Middle School Science Lab.

*Twister: Mistake on handlers part, did umbrella first, pup to worried to retrieve or do sight sensitivity.  Waited 20 min., and retested for these two numbers.

Social Attraction & Following: Very consistent, friendly pups.

 Restraint: All pretty mellow and good.

Social Dominance: All very friendly.

Elevation Dominance: All just relaxed and held still...  :-)

Retrieving: All did great except Salsa (acted shy on this) and Twister (picked it up and ran around with it).  It is so cool to see them just naturally retrieve...

Touch Sensitivity: The lower the score the longer it took them to pull away from the paw web pinch.

Sound Sensitivity: Not bothered by hitting metal pan with wooden spoon.

Sight Sensitivity: Most really liked the wash cloth on a string, chasing and picking it up.

Stability:  Variable on popping an umbrella open right in front of them.
 
Over all I was happy with the pups.  Most had their tails up and wagging during the test and recovered quickly if scared by a test.  Salsa is the most reserved but started to come around at the end of  the test. Todd :^)

Feel free to call me with questions!  Todd  406-498-5236.  I also suggest you print off the http://www.volhard.com/pages/pat.php and use it as you go over the results above.
