[QUOTE="fargus, post: 746141, member: 13480"] This is super important. Make sure you let the dog's brain kick in, then put a handle on them. They should be bred to "go," you teach them the "whoa." If the pup is going to be 7+ months old by the time you get him, make sure you can see him work before you take him home too. He'll be by no means polished at that age, but he should be showing lots of "want to" and trying to figure things out by himself. I agree with everyone that said you want to see the parents work, and make sure they are of a working style like you want to employ. A cracker-jack dog that works differently from what you prefer will leave you disappointed. [/QUOTE]
