Lol if I was afraid of owning a dog that could become DA I wouldn't have chosen this breed I have already done my research about this breed and spent time with them..

Just to clarify, even though I thought I made myself perfectly clear - the statement about DA was as I exactly quoted "a simple example". I never stated it applied to you or your situation in particular, in fact I never assumed you would think I was implying as much since you have already chosen the breed you want and my example was purposely backed out to the breed level. All I was saying was make yourself a list, know exactly what you want and don't want, as it will help you in selecting a bloodline much as it no doubt helped you decide what breed you wanted.

Testing a litter - its really a crapshoot, puppy personality doesn't always equate to adult dog personality. You could choose the most outgoing pup of the litter and end up with the shyest dog of the litter when they mature. Some folks liken picking a puppy to sticking your hand in a bag of marbles. Other folks put more stock in its importance. I would say at the most look for glaring faults - you want a stable confident pup. Don't worry about dominance rolling or anything silly like that.

Good luck!!
