I just saw your post in the puppy fever thread. I've honestly been really excited to see your addition, as I'm developing a bit of a thing for Silkens. Haven't met one yet, but have a few NoCal Silken owners who've offered to let me meet theirs.
Ugh, be still my heart, she's wonderful! Her parents are lovely- I love dad's coat, especially. I'm so, so excited to get to virtually watch her develop!
As a very, very side note- do you offer the Avidog temperament test for litters as a professional service? Have you experienced any reliability/validity or do you know if there's been any research into that in this system? I know you work as a trainer, so just curious. I have a friend expecting a Lab litter that should be confirmed soon (and hopefully took!), and she's big in to gundogs, so she recently introduced me to Avidog and got me curious about it.
