Temperment Tests 2004-2007

Temperament Test Results for CISC Litters 2004-2007

All Greenstone Litters have had Formal Temperment Tests Done by Kim Cooper at Best Friends School of Dog Training in Orleans, Ontario.

Interpreting the Scores

Mostly 1's A puppy that consistently scores a 1 in the temperament section of the test is an extremely dominant, aggressive puppy who can easily be provoked to bite. His dominant nature will attempt to resist human leadership, thus requiring only the most experienced of handlers. This puppy is a poor choice for most individuals and will do best in a working situation as a guard or police dog.

Mostly 2's This pup is dominant and self-assured. He can be provoked to bite; however he readily accepts human leadership that is firm, consistent and knowledgeable. This is not a dog for a tentative, indecisive individual. In the right hands, he has the potential to become a fine working or show dog and could fit into an adult household, provided the owners know what they aredoing.

Mostly 3's This pup is outgoing and friendly and will adjust well in situations in which he receives regular training and exercise. He has a flexible temperament that adapts well to different types of environment, provided he is handled correctly. May be too much dog for a family with small children or an elderly couple who are sedentary.

Mostly 4's A pup that scores a majority of 4's is an easily controlled, adaptable puppy whose submissive nature will make him continually look to his master for leadership. This pup is easy to train, reliable with kids, and, though he lacks self-confidence, makes a high-quality family pet. He is usually less outgoing than a pup scoring in the 3's, but his demeanor is gentle and affectionate.

Mostly 5's This is a pup who is extremely submissive and lacking in self- confidence. He bonds very closely with his owner and requires regular companionship and encouragement to bring him out of himself. If handled incorrectly, this pup will grow up very shy and fearful. For this reason, he will do best in a predictable, structured lifestyle with owners who are patient and not overly demanding, such as an elderly couple.

Mostly 6's A puppy that scores 6 consistently is independent and uninterested in people. He will mature into a dog who is not demonstrably affectionate and who has a low need for human companionship. In general, it is rare to see properly socialized pups test this way; however there are several breeds that have been bred for specific tasks (such as basenjis, hounds, and some northern breeds) which can exhibit this level of independence. To perform as intended, these dogs require a singularity of purpose that is not compromised by strong attachments to their owner.


* * *
The remainder of the puppy test is an evaluation of obedience aptitude and working ability and provides a general picture of a pup's intelligence, spirit, and willingness to work with a human being. For most owners, a good companion dog will score in the 3 to 4 range in this section of the test.

Puppies scoring a combination of 1's and 2's require experienced handlers who will be able to draw the best aspects of their potential from them.

Important note from Wendy Volhard...regarding the Touch Sensitivity test - Do not use your fingernail when performing this test. Press between the finger and thumb lightly then more firmly until you get a response.

Greenstone Icelandic Sheepdog Litters 2008

Hello Folks

The first Planned litter for late 2007/early 2008 is Ch Belglen Runa of Greenstone bred by Pineridge Vaskur.

Important Notice : Runa is expecting and Due Feb 18th-Our First Valentine Litter! -We are taking reservations for this litter now.

Ch Belglen Runa of Greenstone (First Female CKC Champion in Canada, her littermate Brother is also a CKC Champion, Ch Belglen Riddari, and her other littermate Sister Belglen Risna is also CKC Pointed, which is wonderful considering she lives in Calf, USA)

Ch Belglen Runa of Greenstone's littermate Brother Ch Belglen Riddari took the Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog's first national Club booster's Best of Breed in Calgary, Alberta in Aug of 2007.

This Belglen litter is in the Canadian History books for having the most CKC Champions to date.

Runa has CERF Normal, and Clean Hips, OFA-Good

Runa is a short Coated, Chinchilla with double dewclaws.

Runa carries Black Tri.

Here is Runa's write up from the CISC Eastern Match with Iceland Judge Monika Karlsdottir

"Light sable, excellent type and proportions, a bit refined and very feminine. 42 cm (double check). Good proportions in head, good stop. Nice triangular shape. Good ear placement and size. A little bit round in eye. Would like more filling under cheeks. Would like slightly darker eye color. Excellent pigment. Missing a P1 on right upper side, correct bite. Slightly upright in shoulder. Good underarm. Would like more depth of chest and more forechest. Good back. Slightly long in loin, good croup. Good angulation in back, good hock. Toes out slightly in back. Double dewclaws on right. Single with two nails on left. Good bone for size. Excellent tail with slight hook. Excellent coat structure but could be a little longer. Good undercoat for this time of year. Excellent temperament, friendly expression. Nice Icelandic smile. Excellent mover."

Excellent rating.

PineridgeIcelandic Vaskur, (Father to Ch Greenstone AJay, Top Icelandic in Canada 2006, Father to Greenstone Black Pearl, First Female to place in Group and get Best Puppy in Group in Canadian History).

Pineridge Vaskur is a Long Hair Black Silver Tri with Double dewclaws. Vaskur has CERF normal, Clean Hips and Certified Heart.

"Excellent type, black tri long hair. Slightly under ideal size 45 cm. Excellent head and eyes. Good proportions in head. Full dentition, correct bite. Good ear carriage and size. Excellent pigment. Slightly upright shoulder. Good upper arm. Would like more depth of chest. Slightly out in elbows because of lack of chest. Acceptable forechest. Good neck. Excellent angulation front and back. Double dewclaws. Excellent tail with hook. Excellent bone. Turns out slightly in back. Excellent front dewclaws. Good straight front. Excellent undercoat. Would like a little thicker overcoat. Excellent ruff and tail and pants. Could be slightly coarser. Moves a little close behind. Excellent mover with good drive. Good temperament but could be more settled around other males."

Excellent rating.

We are expecting, Short and Long Coated Chincilla's and Black Silver Tri's.

We are expecting this to be a Top show/Breeding litter. You have a wonderful history of clean hips going back four generations on both sides of the pedigree, with only one great-grandmother having Mild.

You have three generations of CERF Normal eye exams on this pedigree.

You have Multiply Generations of Icelandic Champions, and now Canadian Champions..

If you are looking for a wonderful pet puppy, this is a great litter to look at..

Both Parents have wonderful temperments


If you are looking for a good herding puppy, this is a great litter to look at, Runa and her family line are very good at herding, and Vaskur has produced very good herding puppies.


If you are looking for a good Agility puppy, then this is a great litter to look at, Runa and Vaskur have both done very well in Agility themselves and with such a good work ethic and clean hips, we would expect that this litter would produce great agility dogs on the smaller side for females as well.


If you are looking for a Canadian Show Puppy, then this is the litter to look at.. What a combo.. Runa and her littermates have rocked the show world, and Vaskur's offspring with multiply females have gone on to be Canadian Champions and are to date the only Icelandic Sheepdogs that have earned Multiply Group placements, and Best Puppy in Herding Group.


I will admit to be very excited, for the first time I have it all.. Good hips, Clean eyes, Good hearts, Two Show lines, Like to Like breeding and I am as always thrilled to be breeding for the rare Black tri, and in this case, even rarer, the Black Silver Tri!


Reservations Highly Recommended


Whether you are looking to have the most beautiful Pet Icelandic Sheepdog or if you are looking to improve your breeding program or want to step into the Icelandic Sheepdog Show Ring, with a really great prospect, this is the litter to watch!
