I have heard many people say that the way to check the temperament of a puppy is to hold it on it's back to see how it reacts. I have personally never done this before getting a puppy, and both my dogs seem to have great temperaments....

Is this the same lady that we talked about before or someone new? She knows Jazzi will be spayed first right?

I understand the concept of laying a dog or puppy on it's back...but my babies are only just going to be 5 weeks tomorrow!!
Some gal inquiring about the puppies and wanting to adopt one was asking if they freaked out on their backs, what they did when we lay them on their backs, etc.
What's you guys' opinion on that? It rather offended me the way she asked...like "Do they get fearful if you lay them on their backs".
I told her that I have personally held each one every day since they were born...
