PP Litter Search & Rescue Test
The PP Litter was tested at 52 Days
Mr. White went to Colorado for competition in obedience, tracking, agility, dock diving, barn hunt, rally and Schutzhund, and possibly breeding. Mr. Yellow went to Montana to be a therapy dog and to compete in rally, nosework and possibly agility. Miss Purple went to western Wyoming to be a therapy dog and do training but probably not any competition. She is their 4th dog from me. Mr. Black went to Ohio and Mr. Red to South Dakota, both as therapy dogs and to be family pets. Mr. Black is their third dog from me. The others went to be pets: Mr. Orange went to Alaska, while Mr. Green & Mr. Blue went to Colorado.
One of our usual testers, Janet, was unable to come due to recent surgery. Bonnie had another SAR person, Bridget, help with the testing.
Bridget just happens to be training one of my JJ litter, Riker, in SAR.
1. Acceptance/Attachment The first test involves evaluating the pup’s acceptance of the strange place and its willingness to interact with the stranger. Ideal reaction is eye contact and interest in the stranger but no sign of nervousness in the interaction (we don’t want a “Protect me!” attitude), followed by visual investigation of the surroundings and then a return of attention to the tester.

6. Retrieve Next, willingness to retrieve is evaluated using different toys and balls. Ideal reaction is to repeatedly being the toy back to the handler rather than moving off to “possess” it. The type of bite on the toys is evaluated: a full mouth bite shows more confidence and drive than a front-teeth-only bite.

11. Hunt for Toy While playing with ball or soft toy, hide it and encourage pup to use nose to find. Interest? How long will pup search? Uses nose or eyes? When thrown through tunnel, will it go after it? This test is not done with all pups. Bridget was the only one who scored on this.

12. Unstable Footing Since SAR dogs will search in all kinds of terrain and areas of destruction, they must be confident in insecure situations. We used tarps on top of various objects that made a rough, unsteady surface. Toys were thrown or drug over the unstable area.

13. Submission The submission test is designed to give an idea of the pup’s tractability, trust in humans, and willingness to submit to a human’s directives. In the submission test the pup is held firmly on its back for a short period of time. The tester counts the seconds it takes for him to resist, then accept, the restraint. She should not passively accept the restraint, nor should she panic or show avoidance of eye contact. Ideal reaction is to resist, then submit and look the tester in the face. We also look for a willingness to forgive the tester.

16. Wheelbarrow Test The pup was placed in a wheelbarrow. One tester walked backwards in front or to the side to keep the pup from jumping out, while the other wheeled it around the room, going both forward and backwards.

Bridget: 8; “Wanting to bail.”
17. Aggression and Courage Courage and aggression is normally evaluated using something that vibrates, makes noise and moves erratically. Today we used a battery-operated robot that moved, makes noise and flashes all kinds of brilliant lights. Will they stand their ground? Will they go investigate it? Excellent reaction is to go to it and check it out. Extremely excellent reaction is to actually attack it while it moves. Good reaction is to investigate it after the tester turns it off. The tester encourages the pup to investigate after it is turned off, if the pup wouldn’t while it was making noise. She notes how much encouragement is needed.

Bonnie: 10; “Very appropriate. Went up to robot.”
Bridget: 9; “Checked robot out.”
18. Fear A metal can filled with metal items (hinges, bolts, etc.) is dropped behind them from a height of about 2 feet while they are looking away from it. Bridget did this when the pup was intent on whatever Bonnie was doing. Will the pup hold its ground and then go look at what dropped from nowhere? Excellent reaction is to acknowledge and turn towards the sound and then confidently go see what made the racket. The tester encourages the pup to investigate, if it doesn’t on its own. She notes how much encouragement is needed. I find most of my pups look towards the racket and keep on playing with the toy they had, rather than stopping their play to go investigate.

Yellow Male
Bonnie: 9; “Kept eying the can after it was dropped. Only for a few minutes – showed he was aware of where the noise came from.”
Bridget: 8; “A little spooked; kept checking it out.”
19. Surprise This test involves getting the pup to follow you (or a toy) towards a place with a hidden person, from behind which an umbrella is opened suddenly and then lowered to the ground, still open. The umbrella this year was opened with great vigor. The pups are evaluated on how they recover from being startled and if they’ll go investigate. Ideal reaction is for the pup to startle but hold its ground, then move right up to check out the umbrella. A super excellent reaction is to go up and bite it and/or walk all over it. The tester encourages the pup to investigate after the umbrella is on the top step, if it doesn’t on its own. She notes how much encouragement is needed.

20. Hunt for Food I This test begins with a turkey neck or leg tied on a string and dragged to attract the pup’s interest and see how interested it is, how hard it will work to get it, and how hard it will work to keep it as the tester jerks, tugs and generally prevents the pup from easily eating it.

21. Hunt for Food II Bonnie hid treats under a tarp. I took homemade turkey treats, pieces of Natural Balance beef roll, and since the last litter turned up their noses at several foods, some grilled bacon. The pups had to use their noses to find where the meat was. They were judged on how they how they used their noses and how systematic their searching was.

Bridget: 10; “Very independent.”
22. Puppy Drag Bonnie and Bridget had me bring my puppy drag, which is a piece of rope I fasten around my waist. Gunny sacks are attached to the rope and move enticingly as I move around, so the pups focus on biting and tugging on them instead of me. I normally wear this as I exercise the puppies’ mother each morning, to divert them from biting my legs or pants. Most pups had a great time as Bonnie drug it around the room, chasing, tugging and at times riding on it.

Tester Comments
Black Male
Bonnie: Fixes on toys and wants to possess them! Strong tug. Got noisy when he was uncomfortable with something. Nice people orientation with willingness to try, yet very strong in his play.
Bridget: Solid tug. Needed a little more support with new things. A little distracted at times.
Blue Male
Bonnie: Would make a very nice therapy dog – solid, loving, unflappable, willing and just loves to be held and loved.
Bridget: Good mellow boy. Nice ball drive. Snuggles. Might be good therapy dog, laid back pet.
Green Male
Bonnie: Really nice pup, a little more tentative about a few things & ready to “talk” about his concerns. Would do great with encouragement & support, a nice “people” dog.
Bridget: Really liked the hunt for the treat; good indication.
Orange Male
Bonnie: Happy, loving guy with really nice drives to please, yet confident with very nice prey drive. Forgiving and quick to bond. Tail wagging nicely, showing nice confidence. Talker. Therapy*
Bridget: Very personable. Really engages with people.
Purple Female
Bonnie: Very nice pup, confident yet not too much. Returns to person for some support – tail up happiness to a new person. Would be nice for any job, very willing to please.
Bridget: A little wary of new things.
Red Male
Bonnie: Confident yet people loving & interactive. Would make a really nice working dog for an interactive handler with some experience and/or help with training. Probably not best suited for a therapy dog – too busy.
Bridget: Would be a good little nosework dog, good nose.
White Male
Bonnie: Although he seemed to be a bit clingy on this “snapshot”, his confidence and willingness & vocalization might better suit him to a busier/working home. Recommend a more experienced handler/home.
Bridget: Strong dog, god engagement, talks, very confident.
Yellow Male
Bonnie: Also a very nice mix of confidence & people pleasing. Would make a very nice working dog of any kind. Might be more of a bus dog for a therapy home. Should have a job.
Bridget: Good engagement; good nose. Make a good working dog.
