What do I need to look out for. I's been many yrs since I had a pup and I never have picked one out of a litter this young. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I like to take a wing or something with game scent on it, and see which ones seem more interested in it. Then look at size, stature, signs of alertness.

Temperament Test Temperament Test for Puppies
There a bunch of attributes to look for. Dominance and willingness to follow are important traits. Roll onto back and hold. If it bites, kicks, claws, howls...and will not stop until released- you will have a hard headed dog.

My dad has always told me to look at their feet and tounge. I always see which one responds the best. The roll over trick mentioned above is money. The pups that are "playful and outgoing" are the ones who are typically the toughest to train. Though you don't want the lazy frick in the corner.

Large breed? First, you need to see the health certificates and veterinary records of the parents. See if the parents have a history of hip dysplasia, bloat, etc. Also, if it is a pure breed (looks like a bull mastiff), do not buy one unless it is AKC certified.
