I personally would set them down, walk away a few feet and pick the one that came up to me and sat on my lap. :D That is how I decided when I picked out Bailey.

Wow what an armful those two are! Pink, especially, looks as if she makes it to the food dish first.
If pictures can tell a story, I think Pink. She looks more interested in human companionship, and a little more laid back than Rainbow (but then I like laid back dogs)

I agree about picking them based on personality.

What are their personalities like? Choose the one that will be the best fit for you and your family. Which one does the breeder think will be the best fit for your family?
From what I have seen on the web cam they are both very similar in personalities. The breeder has the final decision she has us put which one we want and if it's personalities matches then we will get that one. I am leaning towards the pink. I of course will remind the breeder what it is we are looking for that way she can pick the best one for us.

I agree with put them down and see who comes to you.

OR

take them both

OR

you take one and I'll take one

OR

I'll take them both!

Our first Golden was the run who climbed in my son's lap but then was content to be put down and sit by him. She was an excellent, laid back, polite dog.

I like the pup that's on the right in the photos - with the watch showing. I love her look and the last photo is great...just my opinion.

hhhmmmm....... There were two females in the girls litter, and we ended up with both! Guess what my advice would be. lol Seriously, they're darling.

Awww... so cute! I can't pick! Go by personality, and I personally like when the breeder chooses for you, as she is the one who spends the most time with the pups and if you remind her what you are looking for (cuddly or independant, quiet or spunky, etc) she will decide which of the little fur balls you bring home! Either way they are both ADORABLE and you/her can't make a bad decision!

I like Nicole74's suggestion (if you're tough enough!!)

here's a secret my DH didn't admit to me for a few years: He actually decided on Sadie (lab) due to the size of her "intelligence bump"! the pups were marked by collar color -- he swears collars were switched! have to decide somehow (when they are all great)!

I emailed the breeder back and let her know I like Pink girl the best. During our visit that is the one I spent the most time with. I did tell her I would be happy with either and let her know what kind of things we would be doing with the puppy that way she can make the best decision, I will let everyone know the outcome when she lets us know which puppy we get. Thanks for you help.
