What is Temperament Testing?
At Triple Lake Ranch we use the BAB Method for Temperament Testing. Each puppy will be put through a specific set of obstacles and tests that will be observed by a tester. The tester will determine their levels of stable and adjustable traits.
Stable Traits Adjustable Traits
Assertiveness (human and dog) Confidence
Motivation Nerve Strength / Resiliency
Energy Level Touch Tolerance (compliance only not if they like it)
Prey Drive (intensity) Sound Sensitivity
Human Focus Sight Sensitivity
Tenderhearted
Below is an example of a puppy evaluation:
After each evaluation a score card will be completed and a recommendation will be made.
