Doreen, you have 2 very happy pups there, I see Cocoa gets 100% too for playfulness. I was kind of surprised at how low Ruby's prey drive came out considering her obessession with squirrels, maybe I clicked the wrong button or something.

I know I was surprised to see a coupe of mine too. Like in the aggressiveness toward other animals. I must have clicked the opposite of what I thought I was clicking, LOL. They are so NOT aggressive towards other dogs at all. Maybe because I was thinking that they will not roll over and play dead if another rescue dog was here and not happy with them. They hold their own, but I don't think that qualifies for aggressive behavior. Oh well.... its all good, LOL. I remember now clicking that Coco does mount Rex and tries with other fosters here, so I guess that is where she gets that grade.

But all in all... YES, they are VERY playful dogs!!!!!
