I think they are both beautiful. Bijou looks so much like my Precious RB Snoopy when he was young. I always thought he was a Blue Point, but maybe he was a Lilac. Snoopy lived to be 20 and he never got dark. Now, my Seal point Shane who is pictured in my siggy is 7 and he's so dark, he's brown. He's never been outside nor exposed to cold.
