if I am buying a pup and don't have much time to look and analyze then it is a crap shoot but I will give it my best shot...I will not pick the biggest unless I see something I really like in him...I try to pick the average sized pup in the litter...I like solid built pups that look good and act right...I don't care for shy dogs but I do know that lots of shy dogs make top hunting dogs...so if the pup isn't too shy I will overlook that...if the pup is bold and comes up to me and has that regal look about him and it is written all over him/her that says...I am my own dog and I don't need any help to get the job done look and attitude, then I just might pick that one...I like tight feet and powerful looking forearms on a pup...if the pup is above playing and goes off exploring that is a good sign...but the problem with only having 30 minutes to pick a pup is not long enough to analyze the litter...

and if I can't see the majority of the litter I won't waste my time looking...


and I have to like the pup or it won't do me or the pup much good...

picking a pup is a big deal to me...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
