Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep23 - How Early Can You See a Puppy’s Personality? Breeder Observations and Advice

This week’s question asks what the earliest is that breeders have observed consistent personality traits in a puppy: “Out of curiosity, how early have you noticed personality traits developing in your litters that did stick around until the time they went to new homes or even beyond? (Caveat: I know a puppy's personality truly doesn't settle until they are much older which is why temperament tests aren't predictive of adult temperament as we learn in PC. This is just for fun / curiosity and because my current litter seem to be showing consistent temperaments at only 3 weeks and my last litter didn't really start to show that until around 5 weeks!)” In this episode I discuss: Various breeders’ experiences with early personality traits. Why adult personalities will often seem inconsistent with puppy personalities. ​Practical advice regarding breeder observation of early personality traits.
