Daniel Lampe Webboard User Reg: 03-01-2002 Posts: 63 Loc: Offline	What is your opinion on what scores you would want a puppy to have if...and or what breed ie czech, west etc. you would look for. 1. you wanted a family protector 2. dont want a dog that will constantly test for dominance reasons. 3. kid friendly 4. stable nerves 5. strong defense, very sketical of stranger I know it is only a test and maybe some dont apply to the above attributes,and maybe some are mutually exclusive.

Then, said breeder, can choose a pup for you. Tests are good for fleshing out the breeders already formed idea of the pups temperament or for the person that is choosing his own pup from a litter. The numbers have meaning, but I think the overall time spent observing the litter is a more important. Pups do weird stuff on weird days, maybe the little bada$$ pup had a tummy ache on test day and scored all 3s.

Daniel Lampe Webboard User Reg: 03-01-2002 Posts: 63 Loc: Offline	thanks, that is right in line with what I was thinking, Is it true to say that a male pup that is put on its back and resists(not fearful) is going to give me dominance problems? I guess it is easier to tell which has steady nerves, but I am trying to avoid dominance problems where my wife and kids are concerned. What about lines? are czech better or worse than west...
