Meet the parents. The parents' temperament and size gives you an idea of the puppy's expected adult size and possible temperament, possible genetic health problems may also be apparent after you've viewed the parents. If the breeder does not allow you to meet the parents, turn away and find a new breeder. Ask to view the parents NRCA Hip/Elbow certificate, also check for the parents NRCA Eye and Mouth Cerificate, if the breeder does not have this or can not show you these forms, turn away and find a new breeder.

Spend time with puppies individually, away from the parents. A rottweiler puppy that seemed aggressive with the litter may be an entirely different dog away from his brothers and sisters.
Avoid overly dominant or submissive puppies. The first puppy that runs and jumps on you is displaying a dominant personality and may challenge and disobey family members in an attempt to establish leadership in his new pack. Also avoid the overly shy puppy that tucks his tail and runs away. Choose the dog with in-between traits. Normal puppies are friendly, curious and trusting.
