Ill set up some more threads later with different breeds so dont feel left out if you dont have a Sheltie
 
Squeak is gorgeous x) I'd love a sheltie in the future, they are so beautiful x)

Also, Harvey would like to strut his stuff in the 'show us your abys' thread if you make one hehe! :))

I know I don't have a clue about breeds and stuff, but what is the exact differece between a sheltie and a peruvian? Have just been to the other thread, and they both have long hair......

I think it depends which way their hair grows? Don't take my word for it though as i'll be asking for help to identify what my pigglies are :red
 
Lord Barnaby Sebastian Pigwig - he has the messiest hair ever, no matter if i bath him and blow dry him it always goes straight back to a very messy wiggy look! LOL and it looks crazy when he popcorns as his hair bounces all over the place :))

Peruvian's have a rosette on their heads which causes the hair to fall forwards over their noses.

Sheltie guinea pigs look very similar to Peruvian but with one important difference, they do not have the rosette on their head. This means that the hair grows backwards instead of falling across the face.

Shelties have a type of "beard" of long hair off the cheeks and a well developed train of hair flowing from the rear.
