He is quiet and mellow at this time. He has already given me an opportunity to see his quick ability to know where warmth is and remember how to get back to it when moved away. Looks to be a smart pup here, but we shall see. He doesn't complain about anything and is quite determined to go where he wills.

Moved away from the pet in a straight line, going onto his siblings, some small grunting. Wildly flailing legs with grunting on the lift. Cried out loudly upon the turn and struggled for thirty seconds before submitting. Vigorously pushed/propelled himself forward in a straight fashion and got back to the pile, but then kept going toward his mother moved over the pile until he found her. He only stopped grunting until he reached her. Grunted out again when disturbed by her legs and continued to grunt for minutes afterward as he looked for milk. This puppy receives a score of 5.14 for this temperament test.

During the pet, he moved his right front paw only slightly away as if he was going to move away, but then changed his mind. He gave one small head flinch just after this, but then made no noises or movement and was not in any way stiff. He grunted during the lift and his lower legs were bent up, not completely loose, but not stiff and no elevated heartrate. It took 5 seconds after the turn for him to produce traumatic type behaviors. He screamed and flailed about firecely, then his body relaxed at 20 mark, but he continued to cry out, just not as loudly. He was somewhat head shy upon being turned back over, but settled after one second. In the basket, he moved his body around in a circle looking every which way, grunting and crying. We placed back in the den, he moved immediately in the direction of the pack after a second of looking around. He seemed deliberate and aware. 

This puppy receives a score of 7.7 for this temperament test.
