personality: kelly is a very sweet and gentle girl. she is friendly and playful but she's not overly energetic. she gets along great with other pups and people. during the temperament test, kelly seemed a little nervous at the new environment but quickly adjusted. she was pleasant during the test and seemed more at ease as it progressed. she seems more on the mellow side. when the other pups get rowdy and start jostling with her, she typically lets them. 

Note: The volhard puppy aptitude test is simply a snapshot of what a puppy is like now but may have little bearing on what the pup will be as an adult. this temperament test is only a point in time, and factors like sleepiness or simply an off-day can impact testing. proper socialization, desensitization, and training in the first few months of a puppy's life are crucial components in shaping a dog's adult life. what we, as the breeder, observe over these past weeks hold more weight than this test, in our humble opinion. with that said, take these results with a grain of salt.

volhard puppy aptitude test results & interpretation: mostly 4s.

kelly would be good for the average home, whether a first time or second time dog owner. she can be a high-energy dog and may need lots of exercise. she would generally be good with people, other animals, and children. she will need to have structure and follow a consistent schedule at her new home. she will need training but she will do very well at it and learn quickly. Socialization and desensitization training should continue at new home especially during the first year of her life but most especially during the first 12 weeks.
