How to pick the perfect puppy
Observe the puppy's parents.
Genetics play a significant role in how a puppy will look and behave. It is likely that the puppy you are considering will have many of the same physical and behavioral traits as his parents.
Therefore, taking a long a good look at his parents first will help you determine if the puppy will be perfect for you. If you are working with a breeder, ask him or her if you can see the puppy's parents.
