RE: How do you pick a dog
For me, pedigree is the first thing I look at.I'm assuming the litter does hunt. I took second pick from a litter unseen. This was a second breeding and the owners of the first breeding gave high recommendations. Next requirement for me is the size as I live in the suburbs and a large breed dog is too hard to maintain. Next, is female. Mainly becuase of the size, and perhaps breeding (I since had her spayed as she isn't breed quality, great hunter but doesn't have the style). Looks is way down on my list. First picktook the pupI wanted then everyone said I just have to take this one. They said this one was the cutest one of the bunch but I don't know, to each his own. BTW, first pick was the best hunter out of the bunch.
