Ok - I've bought a previous dobe from this breeder and had a wonderful dog until she died tragically in an accident at 1 1/2 years old. It's hard to even think about, so I won't go into the details.
Fast forward 2 months and here I am.
I've got the pick of the litter and want a male. Pups are just over 6 weeks old now and should be ready for their new homes in 2-3 weeks. I visited the pups this last weekend. It's down to 3 boys and I don't really know what to look for. All their teeth looked good. Didn't see any missing or an under-bite or anything. Markings all looked good, but again, I'm not sure what to look at. I know I don't what a shy one (I have 2 girls at home aged 4 and 6), so playing with kids is a must.
Does anyone have any pointers or specifics I can look for?
My wife and I spent about an hour with the pups and this is really difficult decision to make.
