RAINBOW, Female, Gray sable plush, Breeding Medium to Med-hard Have you ever had the urge to have a puppy just like "Siri the egg thrower" Well, here she is! What a hoot! This girl loves life. She willl bond to anyone and anything.She is a busy puppy with tons of confidence and her share of independence. She is full of herself. No fear! She is happy go lucky and thinks she opwns the world. She loves the ball.....she owns the ball. She was too distracted with life to notice the tug. She investigated the can. but off to more important things. She is happy, forgiving and gun sure. She is also independent with some willfullness. Her owner will need a sense of humor, and be able to appreciate her fun-loving fearless self. She could use some focus, and will need lots of things to do.
PURPLE, Female, Brown Sable plush, Pet Upgradeable Medium Temperament She is a wiggle worm!! She is a busy puppy who is very social and forgiving. She can be demanding. She followed tested, happily, and gave lots of kisses. She has play drive, some retrieve drive, and no prey drive. She is a quick thinker and figured out the maze in seconds. Very fast processing.
PINK, Female, Gray Sable plush, Pet-Upgradeable Hard Temperament (with happy-go-lucky attitude) She followed Bill, happily bouncing, trying to grab his pantlegs. She ran back and forth between Bill and Pam, bouncing, through part of the test, with a smile in her eyes. She scored under "1" on submission, so not a submissive pup at all. She ran circles around the ball, barking at it, then pawed it, squeeked it and returned it to Bill. She came straight out of the maze. She is gun sure. She is brave, fiesty, happy, and busy. She will need a strong owner. Pam called her a real character.

ORANGE, Male, Brown Sable Plush, Breed Quality Med. to Med-hard temperament This happy boy followed the tester around, wagging and grabbing at his pants. He ran to Pam once, like he was sying "Hey lady, pay attention to me". Then ran bouncing back to Bill. He is very social, no fear, confident, and independent. He has play drive, but not much prey drive or retrieve drive. He is gun sure.

LIGHT BLUE, Male, Brown sable plush, Pet Upgradeable Medium to Med-soft temperament This boy is a talker. He is also more serious. He is a snuggler, and was nic named "lover boy" in the testing, as he is comfortable in your arms. He followed Bill, happily bouncing and wagging his tail throughout the testing. He investigated the ball and tug, but was more interested in the tester. He did walk off with the tug, but we could see it was to please Bill. He is gun sure, and came right out of the maze. This puppy wants to please his people.

DARK BLUE, Male, Brown Sable Plush, Breeding Med-Med Hard Temperament He is a bundle of energy with a sense of humor. He happily followed Bill through the testing. He has no prey drive, but does have retrieve drive. He returned the ball a few times, then created a new game, and was teasing Bill with the ball in a game of keep away. He is gun sure and did the maze perfectly. He is a happy puppy with no fear and a quick learner.

GREEN, Male, Brown Sable plush, Pet Upgradeable Medium temperament This puppy is very focused and wants to please his people. He followed tester immediatly, bouncing, and happy. He gave the tester kisses, and a little nip on the nose after the submission test. He has play drive, and retrieve drive, but not much prey drive. He is gun sure and came right out of the maze. He is a happy and confident puppy who is willing to work and wants to please. He will be a very focused worker.

RED, female, Gray sable plush, Breeding Medium temperament She is a happy, confident puppy with a cute inquisitiveness about her. She happily followed the tester, and gave lots of kisses. She is self- indulgent with some independence. She has tons of play drive, some prey and retrieve drive. She did play with the ball a bit by herself during the testing, so can entertain herself. She is gun sure. She was a bit slow to come out of the maze...she wanted to do it her way which was taking running jumps at the edge. Her favorite toy will be a squeeky ball. Pam says this one has tenacity.

LIME, Male, Gray Sable plush, Breeding Medium to Med-soft He follows tester immediatly, happy and gave lots of kisses. He has some retrieve drive, some play drive, but more interested in his people.
