SUREFIRE SHEPHERDS
All Puppies have been reserved or placed in their new homes. Thank you to everyone who adopted a puppy.
See pictures of SureFire Celestial Promise, one of the now adult girls from the first litter of Super x Fivers on her page - "CELLY". This is what these puppies will look like when mature.

The puppies have been temperament tested using the Volhard Method. http://www.volhard.com/puppy/pat.htm
The results for each puppy are below. For an explanation of the rating system used, please see link above. I would suggest printing out the document above and following along with the results while looking at the explanations of the tests. The puppies were weighed and tested at 7 weeks of age.
