Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I am not saying the IPO instinct test is perfect but it's a start!!! We have to
begin somewhere....baby steps!!
Maybe it would be the catalyst to help Show breeders ease into the IPO world
and the Conformation Evaluation class would help Working/Performance breeders
ease into the Show world.

Review but as long as it needs ad pages to allow for other content, and as

some are changes I wish would happen also but have not found a method to make
them possible.
A well done Temperament Test is an available tool in evaluating an untrained
dog for IPO potential about the same way that an HCT evaluates herding
potential.
