[hellyer189 93]

hello guys i am wanting to no what to look for when buying a pup to pick the best possible one, and no stupid comment like legs, feet, tail ect ect you no who you are!!

simple.......the one that you like

well all those things would be a start if it had legs, a tail and feet. eyes, ears and a nose would also be handy for training purposes.

 

seriously though whatever takes your fancy

Its just a complete lucky dip mate, I know lads who go for the most active and boisterous pup, but on the other hand I know lads that prefer the pup that lies down In the corner out the way, like the other lads have said its just personal preference. Atb

if you don't know what your after in a pup, then you really shouldn't get one. simples.

I look at the behavior I like a pup that is active but not to hyper I also look at knuckle,feet and overall health like teeth gums ect

and I like a good looking dog too I like a pup that is chunky not fat if you know what I mean.

i wasn't having a go lad. a pup should be a reflection of the dog you want it to grow into, as in regards temperament, confidence, intelligence and so on.

just check that its well, skin/coat/teeth/ears/arse hole... ask when it was wormed and what on, can they show you the stuff they used, they should have some as they would have plenty! after that its upto you what one you take home, i like a shy nervey pup, so i can build a bond up and trust with it! and it wont go running up to other people all the time..ofcourse you have to train it not to but i find a shy pup is easyer to train not to do that!!
