Abstract: Objective To explore the predictive effect of courage test of puppy test on the training success rate of seven-month-old puppies. Method Through the improvement of puppy test, a total of 32 7-month-old puppies from 4 litters bred in Dalian training base of Chinese guide dogs were tested by noise test and umbrella holding test. The scoring standard was refined, and the puppies were divided into 1- 5 points according to their performance. The relationship between the result of noise test and umbrella holding test and the success rate of guide dog training was evaluated respectively. Result In the noise test, there was no significant difference in courage scores between guide dogs and eliminated dogs. ( P>0. 05) . In the umbrella test, there was no significant difference in courage scores between guide dogs and eliminated dogs ( P > 0. 05 ) . There was no significant difference in the scores of different sex puppies in the courage test ( P > 0. 05 ) . However, there is a significant correlation between gender and training success rate ( P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The courage test of seven-month- old puppies can’ t effectively predict the training success rate of guide dogs. It is related to the training success rate of sex guide dogs.

摘要： 目的 探究幼犬胆量测试对七月龄幼犬培训成功率的预测效用。 方法 通过对幼犬测试的改良,对中国导盲犬大连培训基地繁育的 4 窝共 32 只 7 月龄幼犬进行响声测试和撑伞测试,细化评分标准,将幼犬按照表现划分为 1 ~ 5 分,分别评估响声测试胆量得分结果和撑伞测试胆量评分结果与导盲犬培训成功率之间的关系。 结果 响声测试,导盲犬与淘汰犬的胆量得分没有显著差异(P>0. 05) 。 撑伞测试,导盲犬与淘汰犬的胆量得分没有显著差异(P>0. 05) 。 不同性别的幼犬在胆量测试中的得分均无显著差异( P>0. 05) ,但性别与培训成功率之间有显著相关性(P<0. 05) 。 结论 7 月龄幼犬的胆量测试不能有效预测导盲犬的培训成功率。 性别与导盲犬的培训成功率有关。
