The puppy is left alone in a completely unknown room. You watch how long time it takes, before the puppy squeaks or barks. If the puppy stresses up to much the test is cancelled. The behaviour of the puppy is being garded and notes being written down.
After five minutes the testleader enters the room.
She makes shortly contact to the puppy. Afterward the testleader watches how the puppy makes contact. Finally she walks around in the room to see if the puppy is eager to follow a stranger.

It’s been a while since we have updated the homepage. The reason is simple: we have been very busy!
Thursday, just before the pups were 8 weeks old, Helle Mulvad came to do a mental test on the litter. She did the same on our L-litter.
Helle was very satisfied with the litter, which she found very homogeneous..
What is a puppy-mentaltest? You test how puppies react to things like: being left alone, contacting strangers, wanting toplay and be active, strage things, lowd noises and so on.
Helle Mulvad says: ”You should have your puppies tested by animopartial person, cause it gives you a clearer view of the content ofeach puppy. The puppy test is a tool for the breeder in order to help the puppy buyer to learn the puppy to know. A tool to guide the puppy buyer in imprinting the puppy in the direction you want right from the start. It shows you the strong and weak sites of the puppy.”
In the test Helle used her one schedules. You can download them here but unfortunately only in danish.
