Tina's Comments on the Litter: Overall I was very pleased with the temperaments, albeit
surprised at some of the extremely high pain tolerances I was finding! All the pups showed lots of confidence, were great with the
gun test, one actually looked up at me as if to say FOOD? (I was using two large
stainless steel feeding dishes, to bang over their heads) My only
disappointment came in the ears, I would have liked to see a few of them much smaller, and set a bit higher ... but I WAS extremely happy with the
exceptionally STRONG (perfect) pasterns on several of these pups!! We
were unable to test movement due to the extreme weather conditions
(temperatures in the teens!)
