Lively’s Police Dog/Narcotics Dog Temperament Test, done at 54 days

Since Janet can’t always come to test my pups, Suzan and I over the years have incorporated most of the SAR exercises into our testing. This was especially nice this time because Janet was unable to do her regular tests due to the weather.
