Me and ol Kelly Stagner once had a 3hr conversation about picking a pup. we were in the barn with the female and litter and he asked what pup I wanted, each time I picked one he said nope, that's not the one you want :/
the first one was because it was the pup he was keeping.......finaly after half a dozen or more pups, I picked one he approved of :/
then we went in the house and sat at the table and talked forever about "how to pick the best pup"
1) always pick the tri colored if there is one in the litter
2) if not the darkest redtick with black mouth,toenails,lips, nose and pads.
(this was supposed to make them smarter and less apt to be lame from sore feet)
3) more spots the better, never a blanket back.
4)put the whole litter on the floor and the first one to wander off by itself.
5) take them away when tiny (a week or 2 old) and see what pup the bitch puts back in the box first.
I stuck with 2 and 4........the rest I ignored after a few years. I don't know as any helped, but jeeze ya gotta pick somehow
