My mom is having a bit of a dilemma. She has been on a waiting list for over a year for a fox red lab female. The litter was born yesterday. There are 5 girls and 2 boys. The problem is that the breeder is already e-mailing my mom asking her which puppy she would like. Apparently there is a larger girl who is the darkest red, which makes her the pick of the litter. I have *NEVER* heard of choosing a puppy when they are one day old.

I told my mom that she could go ahead and send in the deposit to hold a puppy, but to tell the breeder that she would like to wait to choose which pup she would like. We have always chosen dogs based on their personality. When we bred labs, we would wait until they were 4-5 weeks old before letting people put deposits on them. That way, we ensured that they were healthy and by that time, we could describe their personalities to their potential owners...

What is your opinion?
