Test Overview:

Breeding decisions should aim to: Maintain the breed’s hallmark high intelligence and workability while ensuring stable and balanced temperaments. Pair dogs with complementary temperaments to reduce extremes in reactivity or drive if producing family or companion dogs. Retain high-drive profiles for working-line pairings intended for sport, police, or military roles — but ensure puppy buyers for such litters are prepared for the dog’s demands. Behaviour testing in breeding stock, alongside standard health and structural screening, is advisable. Breeders should fully disclose the dog’s drive and reactivity levels to potential owners.
