Alamo City Weight Pull Club (sister club to ACBBU) will be hosting an American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) temperament test in February 2012. Please check back for the date in the near future.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about your dog!
Why test my dog?
The ATTS website states: “Because of breed-specific dog legislation and negative publicity associated with many breeds of dogs, temperament testing has assumed an important role for today’s dog fancier. The ATTS Temperament Test provides breeders a means for evaluating temperament and gives pet owners insight into their dog’s behavior. It can have an impact on breeding programs and in educating owners about their dog’s behavioral strengths and weaknesses as well as providing a positive influence on dog legislation.”
For those concerned about protecting their dogs from legislation, litigation, or public opinion, a temperament test certificate can be extremely valuable.
