I am no expert! I can't stress enough to KNOW what the lines are that the pup comes from!! You want to be sure they were bred for temperment and nowhere in there for fighting/aggressiveness and to know how many generations you are looking at the, the more the better. Anyone can get a pup and then another and then because they have good temperments breed them without knowing if grandma and grandpa were bred to fight. Then training, training, training!! I also think that like an above poster, you have to be a strong pack leader so they know who is boss and supervision is very important! You can always get an ill tempered dog out of long line of well tempered ones too so supervision and early training will be very important. I would also like to add if you can find a breeder who does early neurological stimulation that would be a huge plus!!! |
