behavioural and physical conformation

[Dan Edwards]

Who on here has really paid close attention to the behavioural and physical conformations of their dogs throughout their lifetime and how one may or may not be related to the other?

I aint askin for folks to talk about how the pup with the biggest asshole has the best chance in life either or how the ones with the longest ears in the litter will have the best nose for sure.

Dont know about behavioural - physical relations Dan, but I've noticed a strange trait with young dawgs at my place:
I tend to keep my new pups indoors for the first months. I want them to be used to and like interacting with diffenrent kind of people at young age. I live in an old two storied house with a real steep staircase to the first floor. All pups that have been here have been scared of this staircase in the beginning, but the timing of dearing to walk these stairs up and down, seems to fit perfectly with the time they will take on a track, open on it and run it for a "serious" amount of time.....
- I have no idea if this was "on topic" or not.
