Puppy Aptitude Test ~ Charlie x Shenzi ~ A Christmas Story Litter

* A note about Tenderhearted. This is the most misunderstood category of this test when only looking at the scores.  The way we test/interpret the results is best described as how human emotions and actions impact the puppies emotional state. Do they melt, hold a grudge, or are they more solid in their own emotional state.
This litter has been a very confident exploring litter who value life experiences with a happy attitude and shakes things off with ease.

RALPHIE

Ralphie (Blue Merle Boy with 2 Blue Eyes) greets both people and dogs with enthusiasm, very confident body posture and wiggles. (HIGH confidence & MEDIUM human / HIGH dog friendliness) When he is finished exploring his surroundings or offered a treat, he will be glued to you for more. Ralphie will follow you and interact with things in the environment without needing to be rewarded, but will perform tasks eagerly for treats or toy play. (HIGH motivation) Loud sudden noises and movements do Not startle him, while he does acknowledge the sound/sight, he quickly goes back to what he was doing. (LOW sight/sound sensitivity) When dragging a toy he will follow curiously and interact with it, but not intensely. (MEDIUM prey drive) Ralphie’s most favorite thing is food, exploring, and affection. (MEDIUM human focus/pack drive) He is very steady pup who is only upset when things don’t go his way as far as restrictive handling (LOW touch tolerate), treats help him forgive fast!

High Food Motivated Pup! 

After Evaluation Homework: Continue showing him the value in working with people & enjoying cuddles and necessary stillness/holding for grooming/vet exams/etc.. via treats and play rewards.

FLICK

Flick (Black Tri Boy with 2 brown Eyes, 1 with blue marble/fleck) greets both people and dogs with politeness, confident body posture and wiggles to the side or behind.

Flick will follow you and interact with things in the environment without needing to be rewarded and will perform tasks eagerly for his own pleasure. (LOW motivation) Loud sudden noises do perk his interest but do not startle him. Odd movements do Not phase him, while he does acknowledge the sound/sight, he quickly goes back to what he was doing.
