would like to know in a litter,if you are looking for a good pp dog,would you choose the pup which shows its teeth and a bit dominant?or is that a sign of weak nerves?people interpret it in different ways though,just need an opinion thanks
Well that depends on what else the pup is doing. Can't just base it on one physical display of the dog, you need to evaluate the circumstance and the rest of the dogs behaviors too. Picking a puppy is an art.

But could you exlain a little about that art. I soon will most likely be taking a second dobie to do protection and for sports but the current one is my first one that I have seriously trained (and I got her as a rescue so no picking from a litter) and I have only a vague idea what should I be looking for. I understand that it is much in the details that it very hard or impossible to explain in a discussion board post and even harder to see in a tiny dog if you don´t know exactly what you are looking for, but some perhaps some pointers and clear NO-NOs and YES-YESes could be brought out
I will leave the details to those who have more experience in puppy picking than I do I'm more of a visual person. But you can do a search on the forum and read through the Leerburg articles for starters.
