We went to a Pat Hastings seminar in the Dogs Queensland Durack dog grounds and found that the information provided was very informative.

Information to benefit everyone involved in the sport of dogs and every puppy out of a conscientious breeding program - Pat Hastings

The puppy puzzle techniques has helped us easily evaluate a litter by simple tests one can carry out, record the results from those tests.

The single most important decision we can make for our puppies is to determine whether each puppy is structurally sound enough to do what we will ask of it in its lifetime - Pat Hastings

The tests are through starting from the tip of the nose and concludes at the tip of the tail.

Whether the hope is for the show ring and whelping box or obedience, agility, field trials or flyball, we owe it to our dogs to know in which lifestyle each may best flourish - Pat Hastings

If you cannot attend a seminar, there is a DVD available.

There are various opinions on how to get the "pick of the litter" and one must be open to learning different methods on how to pick a well conformed dog, use what works for you.

At the end of the day the proof is in the pudding as the saying goes. Selecting the wrong puppy can set your breed improvement program back by several years and that can be an expensive exercise.
