My advice would be, look for a trusted breeder first and foremost. Look at the conditions of their BPs; are they pathetic, thin, baggy things? Or are they plump, nicely rounded, with smooth unwrinkled skin.. this is what to look for. Also keep an eye out for mites and ticks.
That aside; when i look for normals, I look for a pattern that stands out; I like the spotless look of my one female; besides her health and breeder reputation, this is why I picked her. If you're going for a rbeeder, pick something according to size, perhaps apst breedings (pics would be good) and chubbiness
