They're both really cute, and by the way I think the second one must have some collie or sheltie in her. But we can't tell you from a pic and a breif description which one is best for you. Go to see them and see which one you 'click' with the most. If you can't make the decision in this way then choose the most outgoing and confident puppy - easier to train and more social with friends and family. A shy puppy is always a risk because many times socialization has limited success, and the dog will have issues with strangers, new places, etc.
Good luck!

I applaud you for going to a rescue to adopt a dog. They are both adorable. Puppies need to be trained and require a very big commitment on your part for training and consistency.
The one who is mixed shepherd (tan and white)-- my only concern is the age of the pup when it was rescued. The description of the pup says that she is "5 weeks old now" and that they were unable to rescue the mother. Only word of caution for this pup - some puppies who are taken away from their mothers too early may have aggression issues (not all puppies, but some). So you should definitely talk to them about that.
I think that you should meet with each of the puppies to get an idea about their personalities. You will know by visiting them which one you feel you have that special connection with.
Whichever pup you choose, make sure that it is up to date with all of its shots, worming, etc.
Congratulations and best of luck in your decision making. Your parents must really consider you a very responsible child to let you get a puppy.

Hiya,
First of all, look at the breeds, one is gsd mix, one is another mix, see if that breed would fit into your lifestyle.
Find out what size they would both grow into and how much walking and care etc.
Go to the shelters and meet both of them. Ask questions re health, vaccinations, worming and background.
Then make your decision and well done you for getting a rescue dog, i got 7.

First of all i think you should get the first one but you cant just decide on looks you have to find out more about the dogs first maybe go see them a few times then decide
Hope this helps!!!!!!

They are both very nice, it's your decision but if you want a opinion on the better looking dog ite the 1st black one :).

I'd go with the first one,it looks exactly like our male dog trust and irish setters are great dogs along with labs are great too. but beg your parents to let you have them both because they both need a home!

They are both very cute. I personally like the Black one. But you know in the end it is all up to you. The black one is already up to date on her vaccinations and de-wormings.
