Sweetness of temperament is the hallmark of our breed. 
 
If you feel strongly that this is the case, then please help support us by investing a small amount of your time in collecting temperament data. 
 
C-BARQ is a tool developed and administered by the University of Pennsylvania. They have developed a well researched and validated tool to give a great overview of temperament in dogs. By collecting breed specific data, we will better be able to direct funding and education efforts for breeders, owners, trainers and fanciers in the future.
