How can I get a feel for the likely temperament of my new puppy?

Judging Temperament

When purchasing a puppy, always ask to see the dam, the sire if possible, and the litter. This will give you some insights on the temperament of the puppy's parents and siblings. In addition, you should always spend some one on one time with the puppy. Try playing with him and you'll be able to observe aspects of his personality.
