Breeder Temperament Testing
What Is Temperament Testing?
Breeding temperament testing is an important part of the dog breeding process and is regularly implemented by respectable breeders. For adult dogs, it’s used to determine their suitability for breeding. Any potential genetic or behavioral issues that may be passed down to future generations can be identified at this point. For puppies, this kind of testing is to ensure they’ll thrive in their future homes. It’s important to note all this testing is done in tandem with veterinarian care and genetic testing to make sure both adult dogs and litters are healthy and good candidates for breeding.
