Don't pick a pup till they are about6 weeks and then it will be easy

How would all the other pups.... be able to be 'booked'... if the guy who has pick... wont pick until 6 weeks?....

Think this all boils down to the seller being honest and telling the interested parties that someone has pick of the litter then after that the picks are on a first come first served basis at whatever age the first choice is done.

This is what Hubbs off here did for me. He offered to gift me pick of the litter and said he wouldn't let anyone else view them until I picked mine and if I wanted to wait until they were 8 weeks I could.

I pretty much knew the one I wanted from a photo, well it was between 2 and my mind was made up when i went to see them at 4.5 weeks.

I wanted the calmest, quietest, steadiest pup which wasn't nervous or shy. It wasn't scared to come to me but it was just as happy to curl up on its own and go to sleep.

It has worked for me. She just eats and sleeps

Without sounding like a knob....

Maybe thats why he has 2.... now 1 pup left over? ..... if you would have chosen yours the week or so it was born....maybe they would have all homes sorted earlier than now? ....

....

Maybe so but how can you pick a pup the week it's born? You can't see it playing and gauge the temperaments can you?

True....

Wasnt being a knob.... just seems a long time for the breeder to wait... until he can let the others be booked .....

That's why I went at 4 weeks to pick one mate so he knew which one was gone and he could tell the lads who wanted one what was left.

I was just making the point that he offered to wait until 8 weeks if I wanted to which I thought was really good of him

Yes... waiting til 8 weeks is good ...

 

I think me and hubbs have got off on the wrong foot....

 

I just think form a breeders point of view... the earlier the pups can be booked and secured... the more at ease they can be....

That fish is too young to start jumping - ye'll feck it up....and then ye'll need to visit every fishbone man in the country instead of resting it for 6 weeks....

How can somebody pick a pup when it's eyes are closed and it can't walk? Pups change a massive amount between being born through the weeks to say 10 weeks, the biggest can turn out the smallest and vice versa, markings can fade smooth looking coat can go rough, I wouldn't expect anybody to pick a pup until they can see it running about and get an idea of their attitude I like to pick pups from 6 weeks on but even then they can change a LOT between 6 and 8 weeks I've just had a litter and the way the deal went I had pick then the lad with the sire had second pick but mates came to see pups they told me ones they liked and I told them if it wasn't picked by the man to pick after me then they could have it I would keep it for them if not they could pick another and that was sorted. You can get pups away before the first pick has been took because you can say I've say 9 pups get 9 homes and let people pick in the order they said they'd want one. Even harder when the litter doesn't have much variation Edited September 11, 2013 by grant_c
