Temperament Test (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Temperament tests assess dogs for breed-specific behaviors or suitability for adoption from an animal shelter by observing properties such as aggressiveness or shyness.Temperament testing in wolfhounds is an old and proven form of a mild dog fighting used in young dogs to test their temperament. For example, an American standard for an Irish Wolfhound is defined as "a large, rough-coated, greyhound-like dog, fast enough to catch a wolf and strong enough to kill it." It states that "the breed's well-being demands strong, gentle hounds, never aggressive or shy, not even "edgy" ones. Edgy hounds are presently under control, but without their handler's constant control would surely at least retreat, or perhaps manifest worse characteristics of the weak temperament."
