When you say temperament tests are you talking about doing tests with them on their reactions to certain situations. I am aware of testing that they do on pups that are going to be used as "guide" or "assistant" dogs. Is that the type of testing you are talking about? If so, is there a name for it?

They reflected red...a good silk coat would reflect green/blue

I am aware of testing that they do for dogs in which they want to use for guide/assistance dogs. Is this what you are referring too?

Can you explain this to me please. I know that her coat is a "soft" coat and not the blue/gold silky desired coat. Are you saying that if it were the desired coat that the camera wouldn't reflect "red eye"???? It would be green or blue? Forgive me if I am not understanding this.

Absolutely all the pups...helps you placing them in homes. the stress tests I start at day 1....that is if the pup is doing well...if not I wait for a couple of days. I do the testing.

Did some reading....very interesting!!! The Volhard P.A.T is what I was referring to with the guide dogs etc....They give a printable version of it, very handy!!! I read about Bio Sensor Stimulation......they referred to it as also being called ENS. It was 5 different exercises performed every day that help to build imune systems and ability to deal with stressful situations better as an adult. Does this sound like what you are talking about? Very interesting.....I love to learn new things!!!

She was prgenant with 5 and we lost the first two :-( Stillborn with the intestines outside!! Needless to say, my vet recieved a few phone calls from me that night...or should I say weeee hours of the morning! She assured me that it was nothing genetic or because of dam or sire, but she was surprised to hear that we had two in the litter that were affected. She said it is a very rare birth defect, and two was surprising. We have 3 healthy beautiful pups doing great. I'm just about to take moms temp and weigh in the puppies for the day to see how they are progressing.
