Temperament: Shadow is extremely loyal and loving.  She looks at her owners straight in the eyes and emits love and devotion.  She enjoys being pet and attended to.  She is slightly cautious of new people and dogs but will warm up to them in time.  She is extremely quiet, and we've only heard her bark on occasion and only for a reason.  She does not whine.  She has a low prey/play drive and does not chase balls.  She will tug, but only for a moment and would rather be pet then played with.  She has more energy overall than we desire in our breed and she can cover distance easily.  She does not wander or roam however and prefers to remain close to home.  She seems to have an innate ability to respect boundaries and likes to be enclosed in 'her' space.  She needs repetition to learn new skills and learning is more difficult for her than we want in our breed.

Overall, this puppy receives a score of 10.1 on this first temperament test.

Overall, this puppy receives a score of 9.5 on the second temperament test.
