I do agree selection for breeding is very key, and if your breeding selections are good in a proven strain of dogs you don't have to be real picky about weaning age puppy picks, just grab the one you like or are drawn to. When it's all said and done the "PROOF" is in the puddin and if your puddin is good you won't have need to add or subtract very often. I usually know which pups are my favorites by 4 weeks old or even sooner just by gut feeling. Outcrosses can be very dangerous even if it is to an excellent strain of the same breed due to recessives. One bad cross at a "critical time" can be the ruination of a good strain of dogs. To maintain a strain of dogs for any great length of time you have to keep several on hand.
