FFD – Temperament Testing

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.
