You said and I agree.....
So many times different pups develop at different rates, a pup that one week acts like the stand out, is the most forward, most bold, might be towards the back of the pack the following week.
I have had a dog that until he was18 months.....I though he was never going to make the grade.
The one thing that saves me in this area is knowing the bloodlines of the past. How
his parents and grandparents acted at the same age.
There are bloodlines you need to give a little more time and
ones that from day one are super dogs.

to be sold, and became one the most sucessful dogs to compete from
USA. 2 Nationals and a second at the World championship. The
litter was a good one and everybody was very selective. So Phil
makes a very good point. This dog I think could just about beat anything
out there to day.

Excellent example, who could ever forget Glen and Buck?

Glen made payments.
Nobody would have thought that
dog and Glen would go as far as they
did. Glen got some help.

I like the conversation and you guys are all right. Puppies are like a box of chocolates without the labels on on the lid. You might think you know what ya got, but kazaam! Another chocolate covered turd.
The OP asked for what people look for and what tests they run while looking at a litter. I think we're getting a bit off track. I'd be real curious to hear what some of you look and test for instead of beating around the bush. If you don't buy puppies, then that is fine. Just say so. I understand that too.
