It was a very busy 'traveling day' and I am delighted to report that the pups were WONDERFUL car riders! No issues whatsoever.
The Temperament Testing was interesting and somewhat surprising but that ALWAYS happens. The ones that showed retrieving skills was fun to watch; and the ones that totally ignored the 'noise' tests were a surprise. All felt very comfortable with the stuffed dog but some still enjoyed the 'people' support. All wanted to stay with the 'food dish'. My trainer had to work really hard to re-engage them to the other subjects. This litter is VERY food motivated!!!

The group waiting for their turn with my trainer. They were so good |
|
Indigo was all over the 'noise canister' |
|
Eli showed his bravery on the textile surfaces with encouragement. |
|
Petunia 'ruled' the room! What a surprise!! |
|
Marigold was very willing to try new things like this Wobble Board. |
|
Robin was very tolerant of the 'holding' segment. |
|
Poppy was sweet and willing. |
|
Yep, Rudy, like the rest of them were very interested in the 'retrieving' segments. |
After traveling to Windham, Maine for the temperament testing, we stopped at home briefly for me to pick up the pup wagon and we were heading to Portsmouth, NH for their eye exams. Happily, all did very well and after waiting in my car for about a half hour (thankful for A/C), they were returned to me 'no worse for the wear'! :+)

They were excellent subjects for Dr. Clode and were all admired by the staff.

Very glad this day is done! Now, we wait for my trainers write ups (hopefully by the end of the week). Still more appointments ahead but not as busy as this day was. 'THANK YOU' PUPS for being very, very good!! :+)
Sounds like an exciting day for everyone.
