These gorgeous parti pups are 6 weeks old and basically full-grown puppy pros now. They’ve weaned from momma (mostly), though she is always close by to keep an eye on things. They are one week away from the big temperament testing day, where we will test each puppy individually through various scenarios to see how they respond.
This includes being in an unfamiliar place, with a stranger and with their whelper. We will use items they haven’t experienced before, like an umbrella, a tin of coins, a loud, silly toy and even aluminum foil. All of these pieces will give us an idea of their confidence, resiliency, and what they are most sensitive to, and it will also tell us more about which family they should be placed with!
