Yup, i agree wholeheartedly! I also think each dog has a natural energy level that you should use your instincts and gut to find and recognise. If a litter of pups are healthy, vet checked, wormed etc and their parents are sound then it doesn't necessarily mean the first pup that clambers over the rest is the best one, or right one for you. Think about what kind of energy level you have and try to get a dog that matches or has a lower energy than you. At the end of the day a happy dog is a dog that knows where it stands and you are the pack leader. You are the one to determine your dogs rules! It will be very difficult to run/rule your pack when you are quite laid back and your dog is high-energy/bouncing off the walls! Just something else to think about too!!
