The most active of the group this little boy heads out into all corners of the nest. Held himself tense for the turn-over, tail held between the back legs.  Tried to launch himself off the scale.  Went straight for mom, found her then went to sleep, seeming to have forgotten all about leaving the nest

An interactive and involved puppy. Its like he scares himself on purpose sometimes. He has a penchant for drama, but with all the sense of humor needed for such an intelligent puppy.   Already gaining eye contact he seems to understand the power it holds.   Still tense for the turnover, but willing and tolerant to all sensitivity categories, except sound. He flinched and ran away from the sudden noises.   During testing he toddled off and went exploring.  Got lost. Squeaked a howl and waited for rescue. This puppy is going to be a snap to train as long as consistency is the norm. He needs consistency.

Active, curious, but with a measure of caution.   Not as bold as the others he does have enough smarts for all of them.   A real problem solver with a long attention span.  He watches the adult dogs and really cues in on what seems to be what they do.  No interest in what goes on outside the fence.   Social categories of temperament testing were spectacular. Friendly, polite and loves pets.  He's going to be a "leaner" seeking full body contact whenever possible.  Also a "Pyr Paw" subscriber. His go-to is to use his feet to get something he wants. Still sound sensitive. Medium vocal and can be a little destructive - digging is his chosen pass time.  Beautiful bone structure and his asymmetry is part of his personality.
