Vet visit today 🥰 Health clearances for the puppies. Happy. Healthy. And full of joy!

Havoc also decided he needed to do a little reception work to pay his bill 😂🐾

🐾 Havoc absolutely knocked his temperament testing out of the park! 💙

Havoc completed his Volhard temperament evaluation yesterday and his PAT testing today, and we couldn’t be happier with what we saw from this boy.

It’s funny how often the black tris get passed over when everyone’s eyes immediately go to the flashy merles; but this is exactly why we encourage families to look beyond color and focus on the puppy underneath it. When it comes to personality, Havoc has been one of our favorites from the beginning 🖤🤎🤍

His testing showed so many of the qualities we love to see: high confidence, strong nerve strength, high human focus, low prey drive, low sound and sight sensitivity, a gentle/tenderhearted nature, and a naturally low energy level. His PAT results came back with a 94% potential match for therapy work, and the trainer commented for therapy work potential during his Volhard testing; his evaluation supports moving forward with him as a potential Therapy Dog prospect! 🥹👏

What makes us especially proud is that temperament isn't just about genetics. How a puppy is raised during those first 8 weeks matters tremendously. The experiences we give them from day one: the handling, socialization, confidence building, exposure to new sights, sounds, surfaces and situations, learning to engage with people, and developing the ability to settle; all help build the foundation they take with them into adulthood.

We can give them that foundation, but ultimately, the puppy shows us who they are.

And Havoc showed us something pretty special. 💙

This sweet, confident, people-focused boy genuinely just wants to be with his person. Whether his future ultimately leads him into therapy work or simply to being an incredible companion for his family, we are SO excited to see where Havoc goes from here in his new home.

Sometimes the puppy people overlook because of color ends up being the puppy with everything they were actually looking for. 🐾❤️

Did you know there are AKC events you can participate in virtually from home? 🐾

I would absolutely love to see some of our BFF Aussies families get involved and have some fun working toward titles with their dogs; even if competing in person feels intimidating or you do not have events nearby.

Some of the virtual options include:

🐾 AKC Rally
🐾 AKC Obedience
🐾 AKC Virtual Scent Work
🐾 AKC ACT Agility

Depending on the event, you can set everything up at home, record your dog completing the required exercises or course, and submit the video to be evaluated.

These events are not just about earning titles. They are also a really fun way to:

✨ Build a stronger bond with your dog
✨ Give them mental and physical exercise
✨ Improve confidence and focus
✨ Learn new skills together
✨ Show off what your BFF Aussie can do

You do not have to be an experienced trainer or have a “perfect” dog to start. These programs offer beginner levels that are designed to help new teams learn as they go.

For our local BFF Aussies families, you are also welcome to come visit us here at the BFF Aussies home. We can provide a large, private area where you and your dog can practice, set up your course, and even record your official video submission when you are ready.

I will also be working toward some of these virtual events with our own BFF Aussies dogs, so we can all learn, practice and have fun with it together!

I would love to challenge some of our past puppy families to choose one virtual event and give it a try. Even if you are only practicing for fun at first, it gives you and your dog something exciting to work toward together.

Please keep us updated, send us videos, and tag BFF Aussies in your progress. We would be so proud to cheer you on and celebrate every qualifying score and title with you! 💕🐶
