Finally got round to taking pics, uploading them to PhotoBucket on the slowest dial-up connection in the world... and here they are! My two new Sheltie Girls and two baby boys:

The girls first - cream and white is 9 mths and the other is 12 mths. I think I'm calling the cream and white one Moomin - cos she looks like one! Haven't decidied on a name for the other girly yet:

And here are the baby boys - only 10 weeks old and terrified, I don't they've been handled much! They just go absolutely rigid. They're coming round though:

No names yet but pondering on Jeeves and Wooster - unless anyone has any better suggestions?!

Just keep wanting to cuddle them up!

They are gorgeous Sophie, really lovely! :smitten: I always had to trim Cuzzy's fur at the bottom to keep him comfortable. :)
 
They are absolutely gorgeous :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Thank you. Yes, I've given them a good trim - they weren't too impressed but it's so much easier to keep clean.

The agouti one has got really static fur though - hopefully that will wear off!

::)
 
Haha maybe she needs some Hair serum! Do they have names yet?
 
Yes, she needs some Frizz-Ease!

The cream and white girl seems to have become Moomin, or Moo. I haven't decided on the other girl yet - maybe Womble? Or Miss Piggy (not very original, but then they'd be Moo and Pig)

The boys - I can only think of Jeeves and Wooster - but not sure yet! Suggestions on a postcard please!

:)
 
wow they are gorge, hah jeeves and wooster, I like it ;D
 
I know it sounds silly but they're really soft - I'm so used to my Texels and Abbys! But their bodies are soft too - I guess my other pigs must be more muscley!

Can't wait until Spring so they can go and see real grass for the first time...


:)
 
Those 4 babies are sooo cute :smitten: They are gorg shelties :D
 
they are very pretty! they make me think I should've got longer haired piggies .. though I obviously wouldn't swap mine for anything now!

Jeeves and Wooster are fab names.. I got lazy with mine and they ended up being called Barry and Scott... Jeeves and wooster is much more flamboyouant! (only spelt better!)

They are very cute. :smitten:
 
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww i love them! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
 
Awwww I need to come pignap them soooo cute :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Got names now - Moomin and Womble for the girls, and def. Jeeves (Ginger) and Wooster (cream) for the boys.

Moomin and Womble are acting like everything is normal and are squeaking away for their greens - but the boys are terrifed and are going to take some time to tame! :smitten:
 
I think Shelties are a bit skittish, Sunny is a cream sheltie and is only slowly coming round now after 5 months, he jumped on my lap yesterday :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
The girls are fine, very docile - but the boys, well - they're wild! They're only young though so hopefully if I persevere they will get there in the end. Poor boys!

My other shelties (years ago) were quite docile but they were sows too - not sure if it's different with boys!
 
They are so lovely!! :smitten:

I was going to suggest Google to go with Jeeves, after the search engines! But I see you have settled on names now!

Are Shelties really skittish? My sheltie is quite a nervous girl, bless her, so that would explain it!
 
Oh, Google would have been good too!

I don't know if they're skittish as a breed or if the boys I've got are just unusually nervous - the girls are fine but they are older and less bothered by all the changes. Boys are coming in every night to get used to the sights and sounds - I'll try to take some pics of them in the playpen!
