Hey everyone,
thanks for all the replies. Just to be clear I have not actually done the test with the puppy, sorry to confuse you. I only read the test wen I saw it on this forum and haven't seen the do since. I went throug in my mind with all the past interactions with the puppy and relaed them to the test but have not actually got the puppy alone and gone through each part of the test.

Next time I go see the puppy I will dothisand see how he reacts.

When we first went to see the puppies they all stood up against the little fence waggint their tails so they were all keen to meet us but he was the first to lose interest.

I didn't have any doubts until I read the test and I am pretty sure I do want the puppy but will not rush into it. I will keep visiting him and see how he goes.

None of the puppies chased the ball when I threw it they all just seemed to interested in their surroundings.
I remember when I was younger we went to a friend of a friends house and they wer breeding german shepherds and the puppies were about 6 weeks and I remember sitting on the floor and they were all over us and biting and chewing and playing. I always thought most puppies were like that.

This litter only consists of 3 male puppies. Could the small litter size have anything to do with it?

One last thing it was very hot the days that I went to see the puppies and they wanted to lie in the shade which is reasonable, so maybe it was just that they were hot and bothered.

P.S None of the puppies seem to be the type who follow humans and are all over you. One of them seems to come up to us (or just happens to walk past us) more often and lingers for a pat for a very short time.

Again thanks for the reply.
