Temperament Testing
We are happy to help you evaluate your puppies through the use of the Volhard Temperament Testing protocol. In this protocol, the puppies are tested by an outside person that the puppies have never met in a new location (this can be a new room in your home they have not been in). There are no "failing" puppies in temperament testing, but instead the information is used to better match puppies with the most appropriate families. By aligning puppy temperament to the lifestyle and goals of the families, puppies will be placed in the most suitable homes. Testing at 7 weeks also allows the breeder to determine if any puppies need additional socialization to help them because the most stable and confident puppies they are capable of being.
Cost: $8 per puppy (travel fee may apply)
