The puppy selection process is done by me based on what information you provide both in your application and our conversations.  Our puppies are well-socialized, temperament- and aptitude-tested and handled and played with daily. We take notes, photographs, chart behaviors and observe how they interact in the group.  Personalities come out and we get to know each one individually. This process is not finalized until late in the 7th week prior to puppies going home. I want puppies to have the best possible home as much as you want the best possible puppy in your home, so me picking the right puppy for you is a task I take VERY seriously.
