2024.08.10- Today John and Sophie went to do the BPH (Beteende- och personlighets-beskrivning hund/Behavior and personality description -dog). This is a test that we have done with all of our current dogs which basically allows us to have an evaluation of the mentality and temperament of our dogs. There are several “movements” that include meeting unknown people, gun shot steadiness, sudden/surprise events and so on.
The area where the test was performed was partially underwater and there was the additional distraction of swallows on the field. Despite all that, Sophie was her happy, confident and goofy self and took all the movements in stride. Both John and the evaluator said that Sophie may have just been the happiest dog they had even seen.😅
We strive to have excellent temperaments on all our dogs going forward and feel that Sophie encapsulates the friendly “home” dog, but driven hunting dog we are striving for.
