James,
this litter is line-bred on Rowdy -- Max is a Rowdy son and Juneau is a Rowdy granddaughter -- so the plan has always been to keep an RJ (Rowdy Jr.) or a Rowdette. In other words, we'll keep the best puppy regardless of whether it's one of the girls or one of the boys. Having said that, in our hearts we'd really love to keep a boy and our two favorites at the moment are Mr. Red and Big Blue. Blue was the initial chunk of the litter and he's very nice and very mellow. Red was the smallest at birth and has moved up steadily. He has a certain look when you look in his eyes and an absolutely gorgeous topline -- which was one of Rowdy's strengths. Plummy is very nice and we totally adore him but we think he'll be going to a great pet home. The two girls, Pinkie and Lt Blue are really, really nice. We have great show homes for them but it will be hard to pass on either of them. We're still a couple of weeks from having to make a decision so we'll watch them carefully over this week particularly to see primarily how they move and what their personalities are like. Then we'll decide on ours and place the others. Or, we'll keep them all ! We are still talking about that half-seriously.
