Ellie and Simon's Babies at 2 weeks

Ellie and Simon's babies are now 2 weeks old, and eyes are just starting to open. Although there were only 2 babies in this litter, we are very excited about their potential!
This is the sable merle boy - very elegant, gorgeous neck and outline!
This is the blue girl - look at that gorgeous, short blocky head!
We will continue to post new photos weekly so you can watch them grow and develop.

Eight Days Old

Across the hall from Destiny is Ellie, with her two babies, also sired by Simon (Ch Apple Acres Skyehaven Spendthrift). Ellie is a tri-factored sable merle, so there were all sorts of possibilities for colour - we should have held a lottery! Ellie donated the merle gene to both babies, giving us a blue girl and a sable merle boy. We are very impressed with this litter - elegance is already evident in the length and arch of neck on both puppies.


What a cute little face this is!

Eleven Days Old!

Destiny and Simon's babies are now 10 days old. Such plump little babies they are! Even the smaller girl, 5 ounces at birth, has almost caught up to the other two. All three have beautiful ilittle blocky heads, lovely arch of neck, and nice long tails. The one boy's eyes are showing a tiny crack of light this morning - I expect by tomorrow they will be starting to open. The two girls have declined thus far to admit even a crack of light to their eyes...!


Who can resist babies at this age?

Hello, Hello!

We are excited to welcome three new sable babies to our Sheltie family. Sired by Ch Apple Acres Skyehaven Spendthrift ex Ch Skyehaven Destiny's Child, the babies arrived late Monday September 12, 2011. This is Simon's first litter, making this doubly exciting for us!
