I'm kinda of the same mind as silverton...I want the independent one that goes off exploring on their own.
x2, 7 wks is kinda young to really pick a good pup but independent and layed back yet observant of it's surroundings a plus. Plays hard for a little while then goes off to explore is what I look for. No runts or huge pups from a litter unless they have the above traits. An overly dominant pup is questionable. I do like the dark pigment on a hunting pup. Square and leggy with thick muscular for arms another good trait. Slick short coat, muscular body yet shows refinement for speed and power is nice...
A shy pup is questionable but some great hunting dogs sometimes tend to be shy.
