[quote=desiree]There are always exceptions to the rule and someone may end up with a good dog making all the wrong decisions. But picking the aloof puppy that distinguishes itself from the rest because it stays apart is the most common mistake of people who don't understand dogs. One of the wrong things is also picking a pup from parents you dont have info from.[/quote] I like the aloof pups for myself. My Bruno (first ATTS TT breed earner) was so aloof as a pup that when i got down and the floor, patting floor and calling happily he would walk right by me as if I wasnt there. Aloof may need to be distinguished from avoidance. Personally, I lke the cool, calm ones.
