When you're at the breeder's house or at the shelter, you are looking for the perfect dog for you and your family. You want to ensure that you get the right dog for your personality and lifestyle.
By doing this you may want to implement some of the temperament tests that determine dominance, submissiveness, prey drive, and other aspects of a dog's temperament and personality.
Sometimes the shelter or breeder will be able to tell you the basics of a dog's personality before you actually take the dog home, but you want to understand how this works, and how to do it for yourself.
These tests prevent dogs from being returned to the shelter or breeder becuase he jsut didn't fit. It's just not fair... You want the transition for hte dog or puppy to be smooth and long-lasting. Not temporary.
