An Evening with Pat Hastings helping us solve the Puppy Puzzle

Based on Pat Hastings' acclaimed video, "Puppy Puzzle: The Hastings Approach to Evaluating the Structural Quality of Puppies," this presentation has information to benefit everyone working with dogs and every puppy out of a conscientious breeding program. The single most important decision we can make for our puppies is to determine whether each puppy is structurally sound enough to do what we will ask of it in its lifetime. Whether the hope is for the show ring, whelping box or obedience, agility or flyball, we owe it to our dogs to know in which lifestyle each may best flourish.
