Temperament is a term
which describe a puppy/dog behavior. The temperament reveals the
specific mental and emotional individuality of the puppy or dog. The
temperament of a puppy behavior is likely to be inherited from it's
parents. Naturally, it could be improved and/or stimulated with the
atmosphere, social events, hormones, distinctiveness of its breed,
the attitude of its owner and many other factors.
To evaluate the
temperament of a German shepherd puppy you should focus on the
parents first. The dam and sire must feel comfortable around you
without posing aggression or shyness. If the puppies are fairly
young, it is normal for the dam to show her protectiveness to
protect her pups. Spent some time with both parents separately if
possible. If you like what you see in the parents, you should then
take some time evaluating which puppy you want. Your best bet is to
pick a puppy who's neither shy or overly confident (bully). Pay
attention to the breeder on how he/she interacts with the puppies.
