Temperament evaluation for TOFFEE-TASTIC:
Stable Traits (will likely not change over time, however things can be taught/trained)
Assertiveness- Medium. Will push boundaries into your space for snuggles and may jump on you.
Motivation Level- Medium. She has a mind of her own. Will play with you but has an off-switch when she is tired.
Prey Drive- Low. I don't foresee her chasing kids/animals around, she also has minimal interaction with the flirt pole when we play with her.
Human Focus- Medium/High. Will follow the tester around, doesn't look to the neutral dog for comfort but may seek a "safe space" in the house
Tenderhearted- Medium/Low. Would prefer not to get involved if someone is having an emotional breakdown.
Energy Level- Medium. Like all puppies, they will have a time for craziness and silliness, but I notice she turns off quicker than some of the other puppies and can mellow out at that point
Adjustable Traits (can be worked on through proper socialization)
Confidence- High. Came into the space very confident, checking things out and not overly bothered
Nerve Strength/Resiliency- High. We stacked "stressors" on her and she handled them fairly well, was able to recover easily
Touch Tolerance- High. Melts into your arms
Sound Sensitivity- Low. Ran for cover, will need some help when she comes home to be exposed to more sounds of life to help desensitize her
Sight Sensitivity- High. Not bothered by erratic movements in her sight line.
Dog Friendliness- Neutral. Doesn't need to be around other dogs to be fulfilled.
Notes: Toffee Tastic is our smallest puppy, but she is mighty. She never lets her small stature get in her way, she hasn't been challenged by stairs or any of the curriculum items we have given to her. She's confident, loves people and also has an independent streak to her. When you bring her home it's important to crate train her and have a gated area for her so she has a safe space. When she turns off or walks away, it's important to respe

Artichoke's temperament evaluation- part 5
Adjustable traits:
Sound and Sight sensitive- so she startled with both but recovered in a few seconds with reassurance from the neutral dog. She would do well in a home with another dog. She loves to play with her littermates and another dog in the home would be a great benefit to her.
With the tenderhearted we see that she was curious but not bothered by a strong emotional response. She respected the testers space and went on to do other things. She's low/not tenderhearted.
.
Overall Artichoke is a middle of the road kind of dog. She doesn't fall too far on any of the spectrums and that's actually what we strive for in our program because that means they could fit really in any placement whether with an older or younger couple, kids or dogs. She does love her people and would thrive in a home where she can be around someone or another pet for company. She may even do well with training as a therapy or Emotional Support Animal!
Artichoke's temperament evaluation- part 4
Here you can see that Artichoke has become more comfortable and confident. She feeds off the energy of the tester and will likely continue to do so in her new home. Her energy level throughout is moderate about 5-6/10. She does have moments of play and high energy but equal moments of calm and/or curiosity.
