It is amazing how my sense of time has disappeared whilst I am absorbed in raising the Beast litter. Last weekend they had the puppy test from the Dutch Flatcoated Retriever Club FRC. The test showed that these boys and girls have a very strong exploration drive and that they are very secure and brave puppies. Some have more interest in humans than others – it was very obvious that’s these pups are bred to hunt.
We had our own puppy test too where we approached their eager to explore and connect slightly different – I found it very interesting to see how the individual pups reacted and the difference between the two tests.
After all the testing this weekend,Monday was the big day for all buyers – they received a phone call from me telling which dog is matched with them. I am very pleased because the matches fit very well and I am so thrilled that all dogs will be brought to gun dog training and several dogs will be practical hunting dogs.
As I find them rather eye soothing too, Anita and I held another photoshoot. Here they all are – 7 weeks and 5 days old:
