**We DO NOT use Sue Sternberg's Assess-A-Pet or any other extreme
temperament tests on our dogs.
If we used her methods to test Boston Terriers, who are usually
highly stressed in a shelter environment, most of the Bostons that we have been able to save and place would be dead dogs
instead of beloved dogs in new homes. That is where rescue comes into the equation and gets them out of that environment and
into a home and then see how they unwind over a few days to see their true temperment while interacting with a family and
not in a pandemonium of loud noises, rough handling, strange smells, and fear. So many of my babies would have been killed
for being too timid, too food aggressive from starvation, too fear aggressive, too hyperactive, too something and they would
not have reached their new homes and be the beloved dogs they are today so we DO NOT USE NOR DO WE RECOMMEND THIS METHOD OF
TESTING!
