The key is choosing your dog, not it choosing you. The typical scenario is that you turn up to see a litter and there is one that really wants your attention and most people end up thinking they have "made a connection".
The best dogs tend to be those that are less needy and more independent. If you spend some time watching the pups you will see that there are a few that after the initial excitement go off and do their own thing - that's the one you want.

My wife previously owned a lurcher, I haven't owned a dog before.
Dog ownership is a daunting prospect to me. I suppose its a good thing that I am feeling daunted rather than underestimating it.
