: People Whisperer April 23, 2008, 10:56:29 PM
On Monday Lily and I are going to PA to take a Temperament Test...both of us as I am the one freaking out about gun shots! LOL :D I am really looking forward to see Lily's reactions and hear comments from evaluators ;D
If I don't have a heart attack from shooting I will post an update on how it went LOL

Here is the link about it for those who interested ;)

That is so cool.  Good luck.  I thought about trying that with Kaila but I don't think she would do so well with some of the tests and well the umbrella test would terrify Shiner.

Good luck to both of you. I think Lily will be jsut fine with the gun shots. It's you I worry about. Let me know how it goes.

Tripper has his first show tomorrow as a special her in Canada. I'm a pack of nerves. lol

Miss Lily passed her Temperament Test!!!
Oh boy, it was down pouring rain non stop! We got back soaked and exhausted :(
I am not sure what score she got but the evaluator said that 9 out of 10 stations were high average and the last station, where the drunk looking dude with a whip was trying to attack us, was above average. As he was moving towards us she stood up with her hair up (as up as
wet hair could be, LOL) and when he was close enough she lunged at him with no growl or bark almost throwing me off my feet. It was awesome! And when he turned around and left she had a HUGE exhale come out kinda saying "Thanks God the bear is gone and I didn't have to fight
him!" LOL
I am so proud of her!!!

YAYYY!!  Congrats Lily!  I've never heard of this test myself, but it all sounds very interesting.  Thanks for providing that link so I could check it out!   :D

How did you/Lily do with the Gun Shot test??

She froze for a second with her ears up, looked around, and after realizing that everything is OK started sniffing the ground  ;D

P.S. And I survived as well, but just because I had to watch 14 dogs go ahead of us...I think I've got built-in ear plugs after all this :D
