A dogs temperament can be described as
gentle,easygoing, calm, placid eg old labrador or highly strung, feisty and active eg jack russell, alpha male or female as in very dominant and likely to take up challenge (ie fight) eg husky/malamute breeds fearful and timid eg some chauhauhuas It's important to recognise that the fearful and timid can fear bite, if they feel cornered. It is far better to sit quietly, NOT looking at the dog, in a quiet corner and and even pretend to read, while very gently throwing treats towards it, bringing it closer and closer. Don't move forward when it sniffs you but hold treat in your still hand and let it come to you, sniff you all over and it will settle near you, as you are "safe." NEVER stare or watch a timid dog. It winds them up. Watch from under your eyelashes and with very brief glances and never follow it or worse get it into a corner, as it will be terrified and could desperately lunge forward at you, to escape. Similarly, you shouldn't put your hand to a dogs face or neck, if it has crawled under a piece of furniture. If you must, wear protective gloves. I generalise the breeds in examples but they are where you will most encounter them - but there are always exceptions. Terriers tend to be feisty, obstinate, beagles as pets are infamous as wanderers. With the very timid, one way to make the dog easier to live with, is to get a second dog, easygoing, friendly, placid preferably of apposite sex, (less jealousy), tho' please! DESEXED and get them bonded and your timid dog will be much happier as a shadow to it's best friend and you can just instruct the easy going dog. Working dogs have an eager, watchful temperament. They need to occupy their minds or, without stimulation, they develop behavioural problems. Hope that gives you some waffle for your interview. I highly recommend English expert Jan Fennell's books. As far as I'm concerned, she's the best. Apart from loving her work, I have no link to her at all. I'd take some dried liver shavings in my pocket, at the interview. If you go near the dogs they'll be all over you and you have a better chance to get dogs to return to you.

Well temperament and equal temperament are two tuning systems in music theory. Well temperament allows for each key to have its own unique sound quality, while equal temperament divides the octave into 12 equal intervals. Well temperament was used before equal temperament became popular, providing more variety in tonal colors, while equal temperament allows for easier modulation between keys but sacrifices some of the unique qualities of each key.
