| Dogs change as they mature, but the rule genes + environment applies when it comes to make a prediction on what the dog will be like as an adult. Genetics are a must but you can mold the animal at will. My feeling is that there are good looking puppies and not so good looking puppies; sometimes the "ugly ducklings" thrive tremendously when off the rest of the littermates. As far as conformation i feel you can generally tell of the future conformation and size of the dog; you can tell whether the pup will have certain angulation, head size, overall size-small/medium/large, length of legs or other anatomical features. but this is just my opinion; my experience is rather limited. I've seen pups grow and by studying and looking at young pups you can have a feeling of what they will be as adults... |
