Pup picking

I would like to know what methods people use for litter picking or buying for line bred or scatter bred dogs.

 

Huh? Not sure what u mean so ill wing it. I think u wanna say How to pick a pup out the litter ?hmm that's tough what I would recommend would be bark at them first one that barks back that's your choice

 

For sure there are breeders that know exactly what they look for in a pup...there is a diffrence in monitoring a litter for 8 weeks and picking one in maybe a few hours...i also would like to know what others do when they pick a pup and what they look for...and even what behavior turns out to be what.

 

I generally pick the pup that follows me around. It sounds silly, but it there is usually one that is super confident and doesn't want to leave you alone. I once picked the runt of the litter simply because I was impressed by the way he bulldozed through the bigger pups to get the prime spot at the food bowl.

You generally have an idea of what you want, and a few hours spent with the pups will highlight that for you.

 

Aight I wasnt going to let out my secret technique but for yawl here it goes.

First you get some peanuts and you crunch them, you crunch them, then you take the grapes and you squish them you squish them , then you take the your nut sack then you spread it , you spread it, then you get the pups and let them choose it , let them choose it then the pup that licks it is the winner , the winner, peanut , peanut butter and jelly technique LMAOROTF.

 

Hahhahaha thats a good one i will try that one next time...i hope there are no manbiters in that litter.

 

I couldn't find much difference in their interest but one did break the skin. Would that be the one or should I try another method.

 

I hadn't heard that pb n j song since elementary rofl.
depends on the breeding and the dogs behind the pups. some pups u can call throwbacks or clones others are the result of the breeding. need to know the dogs so I know which one I want then I like the one, well I don't like the one that won't come out n play. the rest I just reach in and get three odds are better to me. gl

 

I let the kids pick them sometimes. Picking pups can be a challenge at times as they all have a chance to be a good doggie. I like out going pups. I still have 1 test... Pick the pup up take them to a strange location and see how they act.. They need to be all over the area after a few seconds bouncing and playing, if all is well...that's the 1. Lets go Butch lol.

 

Makes sense...

 

Hey bro clear your inbox. It won't let me send you a private msg until you've cleared your storage.

 

Most of the time its a crapshoot. However whenever i have had a pup that STANDS OUT in the litter that one has always been the best when full grown. I won't go into details but when you get one that truly stands out you will know it.

 

In this world those so-called "tests" are a bunch of hogwash.

You can't tell if a puppy is going to be game any better than who is going to win the super bowl. It's a gamble. That's why the peanut butter test is the proven method, many previous threads on this same topic have agreed, ha!

People claim to have the "special way" but the most beautiful, dominant puppies have gone on to be curs and the smallest little runts, game.

You don't know until you know and any one telling you different is wrong.

That's why dogmen try their hardest to keep whole litters, because you just never know.

I do agree with bounty that aces will probably show early on in any litter, but that is rare and you are one lucky sob if this is true. There are many modern dogmen who think this is the case for their dog but they are wrong.

 

Reach down and grab a pup. It's all a crapshoot anyway.

 

Bulldogs are working dogs, the requirements of their field exceed most other K9 disciplines. Added to that the real training and evaluation is done in maturity. The drills used by police/military breeders can make significant impact on quality of a bulldog. Von Falconer kennels has a step by step conditioning from a few days old right up to six months, there is also early neurological stimulation techniques started from day 3. You could play around with the variables to suit the breed and tools or toys more specific to intended purpose. Genetics is one contributor but never undervalue upbringing, it is hard in 6 or 8 weeks to beat an animal that has been conditioned from birth.

 

an old mentor of sorts told me when asked the question that he icked the one that when adult was what he was looking for...
I took it as two things, he bred and raised the whole litter so no need to chose and also that there is no right way to pick a pup as they change termendously while growing and can could almost be molded into what your looking for with the right genetics and training...

 

Lol best thing to do os breed your own and just keep em all.So many advantages.
