Lilly's pups take the PAT test

Yesterday we gave the pups the PAT (Puppy Aptitude Test) They all did great having more scores of 3 which puts them into a very social and happy puppy level. They slept like logs, as it was their first time out in the park...

Here are a few pics...

Is this something you do on your own or is this something run like by your state? I have no clue about these kinds of things.

You can google it, it is the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test, it was designed by these trainers in the late 70's early 80's it offers a way to evaluate the litter for sensitivity to sound, sight, touch, and also some potential for obedience like the ability to retrieve. It also shows level of energy.

We do it with all pups, and I have done other litters for people, here I had three friends come out and test our pups, as it would be un-fair for me to do it, as they all know me and wouldn't react the same...

Aww, that's great news that they all passed. Nice pictures, that umbrella looks massive next to the little pup.
