Bindi & Barny's 2005 Litter

Each day Red-Dawn puppies are individually obedience & clicker & agility trained, played with, handled, socialized, crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults. Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's development. You'll see the below Temperament Test scores for "Azul" showing his individual personality.

"Azul" Likes feet- REALLY likes feet- likes licking, pawing, playing with, jumping on our feet- very silly kid. This boy is pretty happy and full of energy. He's a social butterfly- key point: he's into everything- always looking for an adventure. Always wanting to play, but we're not sure what his favorite game is- he likes everything!! He's also a good candidate for conformation showing.

Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the authorities by a professional dog trainer. Using the results ensures you pick a pup with the right temperament for you. Below are "Grey Boy's/ Azul" scores
