Busy Day

Today was a really busy day for the Gorbi x Allie pups. First they were individually temperament tested using the Volhard temperament test. Andrea and Matthew helped me do the scoring while Nick did the actual testing. The scores had minor nuances but overall very similar. All having the majority of scores of 3. It was fun and interesting and confirmed many of my existing impressions of the pups. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of natural retrievers in the litter! Sorry no pictures of the temperament testing as I needed to stay out of sight. After the temperament testing Amy did a structural evaluation.

Then the pups had a visit from Michelle and Pat. They worked the pups on the balance disks. Little yellow girl was completely in love with Pat, he nicknamed her the “little flirt.”

The balance disks do just that, the pups learn how to balance and use their bodies and of course another new experience for them

Yellow girl: the big blue disk is too easy, the small red one is more of challenge.
