Great question! There are several schools of thought to this but all of them pretty much go back to "look at the parents". Generally if you've made a sound choice in mating pairs, any of the pups should have an equal opportunity to turn out as a good working dog. Beyond that... some people will pick the pup that looks like a certain parent or a certain look they like, some will pick the ones who did certain things in the whelping box, some will just pick one that they fancy for whatever reason, some will take whichever pup is left over after the rest have been chosen by buyers. I have a friend who picked the pup that growled at him at a week old when he picked it up, I have another friend who picked the one that didn't run and hide when she started the lawn mower. I just had my first litter and kept two- one of them was the first one to escape the whelping box and do several other firsts, but both of them liked to sit back and watch things, a trait their mother has that I really liked.
Bottom line is it's a crapshoot. At eight weeks old you're guessing/gambling. Look at the parents, hope for the best. The book Top Trainers Talk About Starting A Sheepdog goes over this quite a bit, really great book if you're interested in figuring out how young dogs work! Hope that answers your question, feel free to ask anything else :-)
TRAINING
As for training, if you are really against going to puppy class, I'd pick up a book. I think an easy to read/follow book is; 51 Puppy Tricks. It's well written and easy to follow--... it does a great job of explaining tricks in levels, and has some cool ones in there. I have this book and I refer to it for ideas. There is also '101 dog tricks'
Some tips about training;
Socialization is the most IMPORTANT PART of a dogs life. From 8-12 weeks you should be DEDICATED to socializing your puppy. DEDICATED. There is nothing worse than a dog that was not socialized properly and now is aggressive or scared. These are the dogs that get surrendered to shelters. SOCIALIZE YOUR PUPPY -- with everything. Now, socialization does not mean your puppy has to interact, just that she needs to be exposed to the item.
NEVER, EVER, EVER use something as a toy ou don't want your puppy to eventually chew one. This means that OLD SHOES, TOWELS, ETC are out of the question. Do not use them. You can't give your puppy and old shoe and then get MAD when they chew on your new shoes :) ...
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. I would be more than happy to give you advice, and/or make a video for you on showing the training.
No problem. Thanks u/sible, I wish you and your soon to be new pup the same!
I'm not sure if you are interested, but I would recommend checking this book out, I found it had a lot of great insights/information for Border Collies specifically.

We’ve never used pee pads. We take them out every 15 minutes to start, like for a day, then increase the time between outdoor visits. Set your alarm and get up a few times during the night for a while. The dog will be trained in a few days for the most part. There might be a few accidents in the next few months.
Edit add: Dogs seem to develop preferred places to go. Ours will only go on grass. So the job is to shape that preference.
Puppy Primer by Patricia McConnell is s great book & I highly recommend it! Dr. McConnell has had and trained many BC’s herself.
Dog Agility Equipment... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1450505147?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It has a teeter totter multiple jumps cat walks and many others. I highly suggest it for a backyard course. I built the jump and bought a tunnel and mine loves it
I ve seen this on Amazon, which is rather recent and has good reviews. Has anyone gone through it?

Is it this one?
John Katz is the author of A Dog Year - the book that helped me get through my first couple of months owning a border collie. If you haven't read it and own a bc - you should get it now.

The Story of Rose is about his first working border collie and his connection with her, losing her and dealing with the loss...highly recommend both books.
We use a Hertz tuff stuff frisbee for our 1 yr old. It flies pretty well and it lasts longer than a week. It's reasonably priced at Walmart (under $10 in Canada). We try to mix it up with hard Frisbees, the soft ones, rope toys and the ball and chuck it. I worry about his teeth too :(
