He is quiet and calm, thus far.

This puppy came into the world very quiet and calm. He is quiet when eating, moving about, or being touched by mom. He is calm much of the time and moves about with ease, as if he already knows where to go. When he gets there, he is content and calm. He became quite upset when lifted by a human and struggled significantly during both the lift and the turn. He was willful and determined. He cried out loudly and was very agitated, so much so that mom became concerned. He turned in a circle when placed back in the den, but eventually found mom and quieted right down as if nothing had happened. This puppy receives a score of 6.85 for this first temperament test.

When being pet, this puppy was quiet and still with no movement. When lifted he was still and very loose without making any sounds. This puppy was also extremely loose and still during the turn, even uncurling his tail and laying still in my arms. When the handler turned him back over and brought him near to pet his head again, he only showed a very mild finch and then began licking the handler's shirt. In the basket, he was quiet, but moved around as if with purpose. He only had one small grunt in 30 in the basket. When he was placed back in the den, he was quiet and stayed still for several seconds before moving. He moved in the direction of the pack then peed. After this, he turned around in two cirles, crying out loudly in two burst, then quietly moved back until he found the pack. When he got back to his siblings, he gently played with Rocky Road (red) for a few minutes before heading back to sleep. 

This puppy receives a score of 10 for this temperament test.
