Testing

We're delighted to share with you our unique approach to nurturing, evaluating, and training our puppies. At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we've developed an exceptional methodology that combines our innovative Stokeshire Doodle School with our commitment to Empowered and Puppy Culture Breeding practices. This combination truly sets us apart in the industry, ensuring that every puppy receives the best possible start in life. Allow us to highlight what makes our process stand out:

Breeding Practices:

• Extended Socialization and Time with Mom and “Auntie-Moms”: Allowing puppies extended time with their mother and the breeding team is crucial for their early development and socialization.

• Puppy Culture Approach: Employing Puppy Culture breeding practices suggests a focus on early training and socialization, which is crucial for the puppies' well-being.

Puppy Evaluation Process (BAB Puppy Evaluations):

The BAB Puppy Evaluations cover several essential aspects, which include:

1. Assertiveness with Humans: Assessing the puppy's natural inclination towards imposing their will or submitting to human authority. This is pivotal in understanding their potential behavior patterns.

2. Confidence: Evaluating how a puppy responds to unfamiliar environments and objects, indicating their confidence levels and adaptability.

3. Motivation Level: Observing if the puppy naturally desires to engage and work with humans, reflecting their eagerness and willingness to learn and interact.

4. Nerve Strength: Determining how the puppy handles stress and unfamiliar situations, crucial for gauging their resilience and adaptability.

5. Touch Tolerance: Assessing the puppy's reaction to physical contact and stress tolerance, which is significant for understanding their comfort levels.

6. Energy Level: Observing the puppy's energy levels, whether they are constantly active or take breaks, providing insights into their temperament.

7. Sound and Sight Sensitivity: Evaluating their reactions to unexpected loud noises or movements, which helps understand their tolerance levels.

8. Prey Drive: Assessing the puppy's inclination towards chasing or hunting small animals, indicating their instinctual behaviors.

9. Human Focus: Determining their inclination towards human interaction and attention, which is crucial for their social behavior.

10. Tenderheartedness: Assessing how puppies react to human emotional outbursts, crucial for potential roles like emotional support animals.

11. Dog Friendliness: Observing how they interact with unfamiliar dogs, shedding light on their social behavior towards other canines.

Professional Trainer Evaluation:

The evaluation process carried out by professional dog trainers adds a layer of expertise, ensuring a comprehensive assessment that considers various behavioral aspects.

By incorporating these detailed evaluations and utilizing such a broad spectrum of behavioral criteria, Stokeshire Designer Doodles aims to provide potential owners with a clear understanding of each puppy's temperament and behavioral tendencies. This approach seems to prioritize not just the physical health but also the emotional well-being and behavioral characteristics of their puppies, setting a strong foundation for their future growth and training.
