Some dogs don't need a temperament test
When you meet them you know that you are meeting a great (sound) dog
I know of a select dog that will not leave you in doubt regarding his 
temperament

Time and money, mostly time. There aren't very many temperament tests. That
and show schedules and life in general. If it was up to me we'd to away
with it and just do a gun test. Thank goodness it's not up to me, lol.
This sounds like a slam on our Select dogs. I don't know of one that
couldn't pass the TC test.
This thread has become distasteful, like so many.
