Izzy Grace - Which One Is She?

We have been looking at Dawn G.'s 8 puppies born from her Golden Retriever, Callie. Two years ago, we got Riley, one of Callie's first litter. You saw pictures of her in an earlier post. One of these adorable puppies will be our Izzy Grace. Which one? We're not sure yet. Dawn has loosely tied different color yarn around their necks in order to help identify them. The girls are pink, red, yellow and orange. So far, Karen and I like Red - she's inquisitive and a natural poseur. Pink is very laid back but was startled by a loud noise. Addy has fallen in love with Yellow and one of the boys, Purple. All the pics you're seeing here are of the pups at about 3 1/2 weeks.
Here's Purple laying on Addy's tummy. In the previous photo, I think she's playing w/ Yellow.
Here are a couple pictures of Red - one in pose mode and one in exhaustion mode. Notice that she's sleeping anywhere she can.
We're not sure which one will be best for us - will Red be too inquisitive? Is Pink laid back but not too skittish for our family? What about Yellow? Purple? A boy dog?
We'll bring Riley to see the pups when we get home from New York on the 4th of July weekend, and we'll see which one she bonds with. I guess she'll really decide which one is Izzy Grace.
