What methods, criteria, gut feelings,.... do people use to select a new pup or older dog, for their various interests. That would be family pet, service dogs of all kinds, sporting dogs of all kinds, etc.......... Dave Curtis Da-JuKennel.com curtisoms@aol.com

But I will comment on the one that stands out to me. This is how a puppy reacts to being called by a stranger. This is the single best test for the future temperament of a dog. You want him to come running enthusiastically to you. A slight initial hesitation at first is ok for a future PSD as long as he then proceeds as above. I have seen on a few occasions this slight hesitation rearing its head as a little sharpness in years to come. While this is not necessarily important for Sport many PSD trainers look for that in there dogs. Note: My background is not in PSD so I am going by hearsay
