How do you pick the pick of the litter

In the past I always picked the puppy who had a great prey drive showing up and showed confidence, not necissarily the dominant of the pack. They turned out good, if not for protection, always for search work.
This new puppy is a whole different ball game. She was imported in from Germany and I had not even looked up her lines. Just knew she was west german and I was used to East or Czech lines. She got me the minute I laid eyes on her. She acted smart. She showed thought and decision making. I had not seen this before and just fell head over heals for her. I hope my immediate liking of this girl is what I am hoping for. LOL
