I know it's not a science but how do I go about finding a pup with the things I like...do I go by the mom? etc... Lol. Can ya tell I'm completely lost?  
Thanks in advance! |
No worries - it doesn't sound terrible at all! There is a certain "look" you're looking/hoping for, and there is nothing wrong w/ having a preference. If I were you, I'd start collecting some pictures so that you have a very clear idea of the "look" you're after. Then, you start to look for parents/grandparents that have that same look. You may also want to buy from a Show Breeder as they breed VERY specifically and may have a certain "look" to their line. Even though show breeders may be out of state - most of them have access to air couriers who will fly your puppy IN the cabin to you in your city. Try ytca.org for Show Breeders.
