Andrei is just a great guy! I call him or he calls me about every week or so. That says something about your breeder right there. Anyone who calls to check on their pups like that is committed to their breed. My pup Biebe really is everything I wanted so far. As far as demeanor, she really is quite calm. She is already sleeping outside of her crate and basically has free run of the house. So far nothing chewed except toilet paper, which is her arch enemy for whatever reason.

Jenny is also a great person to talk to. You could also try Mike Shell as he has been around a long long time and has produced a bunch of litters.

Mustad,

As far as the runt vs. the biggest one, etc. Here is my belief. It does not make any difference, because despite what breeders tell you, no one knows what a six week old pup is going to turn out like, even if they pretend they can (I think Andrei will tell you this as well). In my opinion, pick the color or markings that you like cause everything else is just a crap shoot. That is why you pick a good breeder. Hopefully, he did his homework and ALL of the pups more or less have the same characteristics.

Good luck on your search.
