I have a question for the judges on the list (and anyone else that would like
to answer as well). When giving a loose lead temperament test what is the
desired reaction of a dog? What I am wondering is which of the following dogs
would be closest to the ideal when considering loose lead temperament.
Example:
Dog A: runs around in circles at the end of the lead, trying to look around
you for mommy, and allows you to approach and pet but is still more interested
in the fact that mommy is behind you.
Dog B: Does the same as dog A but when you approach runs behind the handler
and shoots out the other side in an attempt to get to mommy. However once on
the other side of the handler, with nowhere else to really go, the dog allows
you to pet it.
Dog C: Walks out to the end of the lead in front of the handler, and stands
there watching you as you approach, sniffs your hand and allows you to pet it.
Dog D: Runs out to you, tail wagging, and either jumps on you or licks
whatever it can get to on you, and continues to lick you as you pet it.
Dog E: Stands close to handler and allows you to pet but ducks head slightly
and drops ears, might also lick your hand.
Dog F: Stands next to handler and allows you to pet it, but as soon as you
have done so shoots out past you as the handler moves to stack the dog.
