Notes on our temperament testing
- Our testing is on the testing done by Badass Breeders. Often referred to BAB’s Testing or Empowered Breeders PAT (Puppy Aptitude Testing) it is kind of a hybrid of a few different testing protocols. We do our best to implement it . It isnt perfect but the videos at least give you an idea of the puppies’s personality.

** Note on location and testers – test is supposed to be done in a location that is completely different to the puppy. We use our Office which is a separate structure from our house. The puppies are seeing this area for the first time. My son Miles and my Nephew Hank are my testers. Miles does spend a little time with the puppies occasionally but Hank has had little to no contact with the puppies so he is a perfect tester for this litter.
I personally feel all these pups would work in any family situation. But I know some might adapt quicker in certain family situations. These are just recommendations based on some limited time with these pups and I have personally seen puppies some might label as “shy” turn out to be the complete opposite as adult dogs.
I also have had pups go to a family that somehow didn’t fit – so to help folks out we have adapted some temperament testing to help place them in the best possible home for them. Hope that makes sense.
