In all of my time of raising pups to adulthood and breeding my own dog, I never cared how they acted as pups, what they looked like, who they favored. I was in the position to keep every pup out of every litter I ever bred if I chose to do so. That's something I did about 99% of the time. I was always able to watch the pups grow into mature adults and not have to try to read into them as pups what they will be as adults. I let the adult animal show me what they had or didn't have.
