The Importance of Russian Bolonka Temperament Testing
Why We Evaluate The Temperament Of Our Bolonka Puppies
Selecting the right Bolonka puppy involves finding one whose temperament matches your lifestyle. Anyone familiar with dogs understands that, similar to humans, each dog possesses a distinct personality, preferences, and habits. When you bring a new puppy or adult dog into your home, its temperament comes with it. While a puppy's personality can be somewhat shaped — deteriorating if not managed correctly in the early months or improving with appropriate socialization and training — the fundamental traits present in a puppy lay the groundwork for its adult temperament.
​Choosing The Right Bolonka Puppy
Puppy personality evaluation is a method used to help us understand a puppy's temperament and behavioral traits. Through observing how a puppy acts and responds in various situations, like interacting with new people or playing with toys, we can assess whether the dog is suitable for a specific individual or family.
The decision to choose a Bolonka puppy should be informed and deliberate. Many people lack the knowledge necessary to make the right choice, often selecting a puppy based on irrelevant criteria (such as size or color), which might not indicate whether the dog will integrate well into their household. Some might opt for a puppy simply because it approaches them first, while others might make their choice based on the puppy's color or unique features like curly hair or a distinctive marking on its chest. As breeders, we are committed to helping you find the ideal Bolonka that suits your family, leveraging our expertise to guide you to the right choice.
Evaluating the personality of Bolonka puppies is crucial for ensuring successful adoptions or purchases. The character and behavior of a Bolonka will play a key role in its ability to integrate and form a strong bond with you and your family.

Bolonka puppy personality evaluation not only aids in ensuring successful adoptions but also decreases the risk of Bolonka dogs being returned or surrendered to shelters or breeders. Choosing a Bolonka — or any dog — based just on looks or gender, without considering the animal's personality, increases the likelihood of a mismatch with the owner's lifestyle or home environment. This mismatch can lead to the dog being returned or surrendered, causing stress for the animal and financial loss for the owner.
Breeders can improve the likelihood of a lasting adoption by carefully assessing a puppy’s personality alongside the potential home's experience level, energy, and family structure. This helps in matching puppies with the most compatible homes. |

Bolonka Puppy Temperament Evaluation
In recent years, seven standardized canine personality traits have emerged: reactivity, fearfulness, activity, sociability, responsiveness to training, submissiveness, and aggression. Selecting the appropriate Bolonka involves finding a puppy whose combination of these traits aligns well with your family's dynamic.The term "activity" pertains to the level of physical energy or activeness of the dog.
Dogs that actively seek out friendly interactions with strangers and other dogs are considered sociable. However, sociability assessments in young puppies are not consistently reliable in predicting their adult personality. Sociability has a heritability factor of about 0.4, indicating that a dog's inherent friendliness is more influenced by its upbringing than by its genetic background. Therefore, prospective owners looking for an affectionate dog should prioritize getting their puppy from a breeder known for excellent socialization practices. Additionally, it is very important for owners to provide their puppy with numerous positive experiences involving unfamiliar dogs and people early in their life.
Puppies that are characterized by quick learning, cooperativeness with people, enjoyment in playing with them, and the ability to concentrate on tasks given by their owners are regarded as responsive to training. The trait of trainability has a heritability factor of approximately 0.35, meaning that the training aptitude of a specific dog is only slightly predictable based on its breed and lineage.
In natural dog packs, the concepts of submissiveness and dominance establish the hierarchy among the members (think wolves). This behavior applies to dogs living with human families, where they often maintain the social structures of their wild ancestors. In a well-adjusted household, a dog should be submissive to all humans. Extremely submissive dogs might even urinate when greeting people as a sign of their submissiveness. On the other hand, dominance is characterized by behaviors such as bullying other dogs or guarding resources like food, toys, or preferred resting spots from both their canine and human family members.
