Have you ever notice a dog or puppy how they seem to have individual personalities of their own, just like us humans you can find your puppy's personality type at a very young age.
When you determine the puppy's personality you are determining the puppy's mental stability and its nature. For instance, is the puppy easy to get on with.
How A Puppy Test is Arranged
1. Place the dog in a room or space he has never known about. The space should be open and have nothing that could disturb the dog to distraction.
2. The puppy's age is a factor and should be tween 5 to 7 weeks as the personality at this age is naturally occurring.
3. To ensure accurate results, make sure the tester has not met the dog before.
Honest Testing = Accurate Results
There are many tests that exist including the "Campbell" test...as described below. The puppy is tested on the following criteria:
Social Attraction
Sitting a few feet away from the puppy the tester notices how the puppy performs. Does it come forward? if so, is the tail high or low? Does the puppy explore its surroundings or does the puppy go the opposite way?
Facility to follow
Putting the puppy next to him, tester walks away. does the dog follow? Will the puppy follow but jump on the tester? Does the puppy try to bite the tester? Follow from a distance or wander off on his own?
Response to obligation
The puppy is placed on his back and held down by placing a flat hand over his chest. The puppy is tested for the possibility of protesting, and tries to bite the tester or alternatively the puppy does not protest but is calm. Of the puppy just licks the hand of the tester?
Social domination
Sitting down next to the puppy the tester attempts to stroke the puppy. How does the puppy respond? By crawling to the tester? Or bite the hand of the tester? Lie on your back and lick the hand of the tester? Alternatively, the dog runs away?
Acceptance will be repealed
Off the ground through the chest of the puppy does not see the face of the meter. What happened? If the dog fight and try to bite the hand tester? If your puppy to fight, but then calmed down? Or simply remain silent?
Completion
The pup was observed and a maximum score of five points for each part of the test. The results arethen tallied and the eventual score determines the personality of the dog.
If you are a novice just about to buy a puppy its always a good idea to pick a puppy whose personality is based on test results that are not far removed from the ordinary or average results.
Because, if you pick a dog that is hard to exercise control over or is inclined to be humbly obedient then you are going to have to be an experienced dog handler.
