That's funny since she is VERY laid back, and when my "working" HIGH DRIVE
bitch took the testshe scored a lot lower than my buitch whop scored high.

"perfect score" on the temperament test. High scores usually equal high drives
- a schutzhund, police, etc dog should score high. A therapy dog should not!!!
Scores don't really play a part in the temperament test other than to rate a
specific animal to see for which job(s) the dog would be best suited. We have a
wide range in temperament in this breed BECAUSE the breed is so versatile. TT
SCORES are just another way for folks to say "my dog is better than your dog"
unless used to really evaluate the dog against their job requirements.
Personally I feel that IF scores matter then the work the specific dog does
should be taken into consideration in judging. The therapy dog who goes after
the weird stranger just might go after the little old man on the walker, no??
How about a police dog who is oblivious to gunfire?? Or a Guide Dog who does
react! And what reaction is a +3?? For a police dog it should put that animal
on alert but a guide dog can't go on the offense when in harness!
Temperament Tests should be strictly Pass/Fail with no scoring!!! Definitley
JMO!
