Check the personality of the puppy. Play with the puppy. A normal puppy should be playful and outgoing. After evaluating the puppies personality with your family, you should watch them interact with their litter.
You should watch for signs of dominance or aggression with the other puppies. As with humans, the best match for your family will probably be the puppy that is neither overly aggressive or submissive.
