Temperament Testing

Pambriella Goldendoodle puppies are temperament tested before they go to their new homes. We believe testing is very important to help you choose the best puppy for your home. We want all of our puppies and adoptive parents to be completely happy. We encourage anyone interested in one of our puppies to wait to choose a puppy until the testing is done. This testing cannot be done until the puppies are 8 weeks of age and after that they are ready to go to their new homes. This is what the test will help to tell you.........

On a scale of 1 to 6

  1. Social Attraction.........this shows the degree of attraction to people.

  2. Following.........This shows the willingness of the puppy to follow human leadership.

  3. Restraint............This shows the degree of dominance or submission. Response to social /physical dominance.

  4. Social Dominance......This shows the degree of acceptance of human social dominance. How “forgiving” the pup is.

  5. Elevation Dominance......This shows the degree of accepting dominance while in a position of no control.

  6. Retrieving (obedience and aptitude).....This shows the degree of willingness to work with humans. High correlation between ability to retrieve and successful guide dogs, obedience dogs, and field trail dogs.

  7. Touch Sensitivity.....This shows the degree of sensitivity to touch.

  8. Sound Sensitivity......This shows the degree of sensitivity to sound.

  9. Chase Instinct............This shows the degree of response to moving object;chase instinct.

  10. Stability..................This shows the degree of intelligent response to strange objects.

  11. Energy Level.........This shows the degree of physical energy. High to Stress level.

 

The temperament of a puppy is inherited and therefore each puppy has it's own personality, based on what they inherit from their parents and grandparents. This test is not to tell you whether a puppy is bad or good, but in what kind of home the puppy will do best. For instants, some puppies will do better in a home where it is the only dog, others will do great in homes where there are doggy friends. Some will be great to use as therapy dogs. This test helps identify which puppies will be good in this area. Several of our puppies have tested to be good in this area. This is why we feel this testing is so important in choosing the right puppy for you. We realize that each person will be attracted to a different puppy, mostly based on looks and color etc......., and although this is important as well, we encourage everyone to put looks secondary to the personality of the puppy that fits you and your family the best.

This proves to be very affective and so far everyone is very happy with their choice. We have placed puppies that are being trained to be therapy dogs and in homes with special needs children.
