I'm curious why you never see this mentioned when looking for a breeder. We always hear about health testing and titles. Are the tests not accurate or reasonalbe? Is there a reason why virtually no breeders take the time to do any temperment testing? I've seen a few breeder sites that list CGC, but these are breeders who don't show in conformation or obedience and don't mention anything about health testing. That leads me to thing that CGC is relatively easy obtain. I ask b/c it seems like a few of the top lines are rumored to have either health or temperment issues. With the health issues you can look at results, but what are you to do about temperment? You can't always meet the parents of your future puppy and sometimes a weak temperment can be the result of a dog further back in the pedigree.
