Hey all. I've decided on a breeder to get a dog from in a few years, she shows her dogs, diversity tests, heath tests, etc. Overall, I believe she's reputable. My question here is about assessing the parents' temperament.
Part of the reason why I want a poodle is because of their aloof temperament to strangers. I'd really like for my future puppy to have this trait, but I'm unsure how to assess that if I met his parents in person? Like, is the dam just supposed to ignore me? And if she does get all excited to meet me, would that mean her temperament is bad or off standard?
Or should I just specify that that's the temperament I want when it comes to the 7 week temperament test? Help?
