All other things being equal, then B, clearly.  Don't really see what is to be gained by

Susie's choice;  if I were to make a difference, I'd take them the other way around

[ie  A = male,  B = female]  based on what I have seen passed on to offspring.

Maybe Susie  can elaborate further ?

But I also support what has been said by Joan;   there are a range of additional considerations.

In case nerve strength is the same in all of them :

If I remember well Sitasmom is a showline person/breeder (I hope I´m correct, if I´m wrong - sorry for this assumption )
As a showline breeder I´m looking for the best structure and the best drives for my bitch ( color and coat length is not important, easy to fix ), A female doesn´t need to be a stunner, but a good dog.
A male is different ( for showline folks ) - for a breeder a male is worthful as soon as he wins in the show ring, in that case coat and color are important - sad, but true. Good drives ( good nerves provided ) are good enough for IPO titles. So he should do fine.

I may have used the wrong word (ample), puppy "a" has the most drives, and best structure.

They are all females. I do not know about their levels of confidence/nerve.

None as I want it all in one package.  Sorry.   Clever

I'll go against the grain here. A is the best choice for me. Ample meaning more than enough drive and excellent structure are much more difficult to achieve than coat and color. I can breed coat and color in a single generation and there's lots of coat and color. Coat and color are abundent in the WGSL. There's a lot of good structure to pick from too. Gotta go with trainability, it's the most difficult to find.

@Dog1- What does the acronym WGSL stand for? I have asked this before in another thread but it was skipped Tongue Smile.

@SitasMom - I would have to agree with a few others, A would be my choice. But i am not coming from the show side of things, maybe high drives are a hindrance. But I find high drive dogs to be a lot more fun to interact with.

For Cutaway...WGSL = West German Show Line.

I pick A.

Agree with other posters, coat and color are not as important as drives and structure and can be fixed easier (short explanation).
