The choice of a dog should be approached responsibly, because it will become your friend who will live side by side with you for ten to fifteen years. After you have decided on the breed, chose a breeder and waited for the puppies to grow up, you are faced with an important task. Now you need to come to the breeder's home and choose one of several toddlers.

Step 1
The selection methodology depends on what you want to get. Do you want to buy a beautiful purebred puppy that will win at exhibitions, do you want a guard in the courtyard of a private house, or a calm and balanced dog that will get along well with children. Depending on your goals, there are different methods of selecting puppies from the same litter.
Step 2
If you are determined to raise a champion, go with an experienced dog owner to choose dogs. Register on the forum dedicated to this breed, and find such people in your city. If you go to choose a puppy yourself, read the breed standard, look at the children's photos of the current show champions - this will help you make the right choice. Try to take your puppy as older as possible. It is difficult to see outstanding data in a baby who is a month old.
Step 3
If you are choosing a guard and a pet, pay attention to the largest and most active puppy. Such a dog clearly has leadership qualities and will be an excellent companion. It is quite possible that the litter will also contain small "slaughtered" puppies, which are terrorized by their larger brothers and sisters. As much as you feel sorry for him, if this is your first dog, do not take him. It is likely that a small puppy may have health problems that a more experienced dog owner can handle better.
Step 4
There is a simple test to determine the character of a dog. Drop a bunch of keys or any other noisy object next to the puppies, and then watch how the little ones behave. It is best to take those puppies who have coped with fear and came up to investigate an incomprehensible subject.
Step 5
Talk to the breeder about the temperament of the puppies. Surely he will tell you a lot of interesting cases and details from their lives, and you can get an idea of what kind of dog you would like to take.
Step 6
Finally, let the puppies choose you as their master. See which of them will be the first to run up to you and start playing, climb into your hands and lick your face. If your sympathy is mutual, take the kid who chose you.
