What physical attributes determine which pup to pick out or which ones you are going to keep out of a litter?

I usually pick all my pups by color when born. As all my dogs and pups have good conformation - tight feet, straight legs, good angulation in front and rear. I will not keep one with a defect such as bad feet, legs, mange/skin problems, droopy eyes, bad bite, gay tail, lacking testicles, ect... Otherwise I pick by color, and if at 8 weeks that pup isn't super shy or aggressive, I keep it. If I can I will keep the houndier pup (nice head and ears) and has to have a bawl mouth.
