Breed suitability test

Paigee during the conformation assessment

the gait is assessed – not mine, Paigee's

play is allowed (in fact required), and Paigee loves to play

the canister is thrown as a distraction when the dog is allowed to fetch the toy – Paigee was briefly interested, but then carried on playing

the toy is thrown into the pile of bottles in the tent

Paigee immediately runs into the tent, searches noisily among the plastic bottles and comes back with the toy

prey drive pronounced, good contact with the helper

finally got the prey

Paigee brings me her captured prey

prey drive with a stranger: follows quickly and takes a good grip – well done, Paigee!

Paigee happily brings me the bite rag – rating: pronounced

Paigee goes on the long lead and into the group of people: she is unbiased, makes contact, follows the steward unbiased and then comes back quickly without help

interested in the overall (which is suddenly pulled up), makes contact unbiased

the stranger behaving oddly jumps out of the bushes and then runs away in a zigzag
Paigee is briefly startled, stays alert and watches

she makes contact unbiased

as the sledge approaches: warns, barks, relaxes, watches
Making contact: unbiased, makes contact without help

Paigee remains completely unimpressed by the gunshot

the ghosts too – pretty cool, my little one

the group is of course no longer a problem, and then there's one more round of play
Paigee passed the ZTP, and I am very proud of her
In the temperament assessment: 16 x correct (best possible rating), 6 x acceptable and not a single borderline result
