Up to 1 hour session for owners who wish to discuss their puppy setup prior to bringing home their new family member. This is a great way to make sure you are prepared for when puppy comes home!

The Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT) is a widely used method for finding the right puppy for the right home and predicting what a puppy will be like as an adult. We test each puppy in the litter  individually (at 7 weeks old) and give a score based on the Volhard method of evaluation.  This is a great method for breeders to successfully match dog to owner.
