Opinions Appreciated On My Choices!

[Christie and Jake]

Here are my five boys at 4 weeks of age.  I have been told that they are all very sweet and loving.  I was told that Hayden was a little bit shy right now but the breeder is working with him and giving him extra attention and he's coming around.  My daughter and I both have allergies which is what led us to a doodle.  She is turning 13 in a couple of weeks so I'm sure you can imagine that our home is not a quiet one.  There is always something going on.  Just wondering what your thoughts are about my choices.

Thank You, Christie

Okay, so now you just have to go on fate and TRUST.  He will COME to YOU... just watch!  It will be fine!  Just question what the breeder already knows and go with that.  I would stay away form both ends of the spectrum right now I guess... the most hyper or 'top of the pack',  and the most timid.  You'll see... he will come to YOU!  good luck!  Can't wait to see who chooses YOU!

The temperament tests are great - we informally did some aspects of it (calling the pups to us, handling them etc.) and avoided the pups that didn't seem very attached to people.

 

We chose Luna at 5 weeks old or rather... she chose my fiance.  She alternated between leading the other female puppies on digging expeditions and sitting under my fiance's feet and tugging on his laces.

 

We were torn between her and another puppy who spent the entire hour long visit getting ear scratches from me - but in the end we went with the spunkier pup.  She still has her spunk... :p so I think you can tell a little bit about personality at that age if they have some overt shyness or are very outgoing.  If they are middle of the road (like the pups that were following Luna around) I don't think you can tell much.

Congratulations!  I guess you've got a movie star!  What are you going to name him?
