delboy_187 904 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Pet or worker you pick a pup on temperament and character.totaly agree with you .that's how I go about it but the eye catcher wins every time .Tmo each to there own an all that Quote Link to post
dare 1,103 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ive mentioned colours on this topic. If there was a litter of pups all bred the same i just pick whichever one catchs my eye. At the moment got a thing for pied dogs probably where ive never had one. That said if was a good litter and all was black it wouldnt bother me. Colour means f**k all. The truth is though its all some care for, see pretty pups pick one and dont have a clue about owning a dog. 1 Quote Link to post

BGD 6,436 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Dogs would be better if people thought more about what breed they want and why. Your right though delboy most see a pretty looking pup and think ill get one. What about if you think long and hard about what breed would best suit you as a pet and then choose the colour you like best? What's wrong with that? Honestly people get too hung up on not picking dogs based on colour, if all you want it for is a companion why not pick something that's easy on your eye? You're going to be sharing your life with it for the next ~10 years, best make sure you're happy with it 1 Quote Link to post
dare 1,103 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Im not hung up on it? If was a litter of pups they all stand the same chance its a game of luck and id just pick which ever one catches my eye. Nothing wrong with dogs as pets either but some are better suited than others. Quote Link to post

I wouldnt pick say a shy pup but thats more just thinking maybe itll be more likely to have problems. Sure even shy pups with time spent bringing em on have ended up good dogs. Quote Link to post

Theres no guarantee in picking pups...i just go for the strongest and in my opinion healthiest looking one...like you say you wouldnt pick a shy pup...neither would i 1 Quote Link to post
