Default Puppy selection question.

Hi Everyone,

I've been on the waitlist, I've waited patiently with my breeder and in January two lovely boys were born. I'm at the top of the list which means I get to choose between them; however, it's becoming harder and harder to pick.

Here's some info:
- Born Jan 7th.

- I see them by zoom every week and she sends pictures

- I wanted the larger of the two, hoping that one would finish larger (understanding that may not be the result). Well every week they are clocking in at identical sizes, so we don't have a front runner that way.

- They are both very healthy, eating well, eyes are open and they are squirmy and curious so no apparent differences in personality yet.

- While I don't need to rush to pick, I do need to pick before we run the liver test and DNA testing, which will be before I can see them in person (she's in a different province so I'm flying in to pick him up - he's flying back with me in carry-on, NOT cargo).

- The only apparent difference right now she has said that one has a rounder head and will likely have more of a "baby doll face". The little guys were too squirmy last week for me to be able to see this difference. Can anyone clarify what that looks like? I think I know what she means. If I'm correct my old dog Harley (in my profile pic) did not have this head shape. So I'm leaning towards picking the other one.

I'm going to talk to her some more Wednesday but I figured I would check and see if anyone has any thoughts. Are there any other qualities I should be looking for? I was hoping size or health would make the decision for me, but these guys are near identical so it may just have to come down to aesthetics.
