Acalusa2000, it can be hard to tell looking at a puppy how long the snout will be as an adult. You can look at the parents and get an idea, but characteristics from previous generations can also pop up.

Here is Max at 10 weeks and as an adult (his topknot is flat, so it shows the length of his snout):

Your photos are kind of what I was getting at. We keep Bella in a puppy cut, so she looks much more like the photo of Max as a pup, and appears to have a shorter snout.
