A great temperament, meaning a dog that clearly enjoys being around people, even if they have never met that person before and is well socialized with other dogs.
2
Good obedience, to include a thorough understanding of the basic commands (sit, down, stay, leave it) with a strong focus on their owner.
3
Physically fit: able to pass a thorough medical examination given by a qualified veterinarian.
