Picking a pup


Recommended Posts

like so many topics on here this could go on forever the best pup for one person is not the best pup for another .i wouldnt buy a pup that i hadnt seen the sire and dam work definatley wouldnt take breeders word even if i knew them ,i only trust my own judgement nobody elses of what i want. like i said earlier i dont tend to go for forward dogs as they usually stubborn with short attention span making them difficult to train. the pups that hang back in the corner are 9 times out of 10 going to be nervous and hard to socialise some do snap out of it when they leave litter but why take chance i like a dog thats somewhere in the middle not too forward not too shy thats why i spend as long as possible watching the litter interact with each other, and size has nothing to do with it its more about shape comformation

I pick a pup that's not to dominant and not to quite. Try throwing a ball and see which pup is the most excited by it, dose not have to be the first pup to chase it , you are looking for the one who has that predator look in his eyes. Don't pick a pup that bunny hops, you want good use of all its legs. You can also try using sounds to see how quick the pups respond to them . You want an alert yet calm tempered pup and of course, one who thinks your the bees knees :)
