I think the short-hand gene is stronger, the baby will pick up the short-hair gene instead of long hair gene. Most likely it will look more like American short-hair breed. Will definitely won't look like pure Sheltie.

Showing off my Abbyruvian and Sheltie GPs.....

Congrats! Only 1 baby? Your caramello looks very much like the Alice I sold to Kuoru. Hmm..talking about that, wonder how is Alice look like now...as Alice is a mixed breed of Abby and Sheltie. Here is her picture when she was less than 3 weeks old.

Oh..are you sure you picked up a healthy GP home? Are you sure you didn't see it eat or drink? How's its poo like?

Pandan leaf can!

Bring your GP to vet to trim its teeth.

Normally after delivery of babies, then will follow by a small placenta (looks like bloody lump). As long as your SOW doesn't look lethargic and weak, then it should be no problem at all.

Here is my picture I demonstrated on the teeth.

Vitakraft is a very lousy low quality food brand, better don't feed this brand, or else your GP will not live long.

Most likely it is due to some mites that causing the left outer eye sore, you can see the outer layer of the eye is quite red. This also happened to my dog. Did the vet give you any ointment to apply?

On the safe side, you also can use normal saline to drop into its eye, and then use cotton wipe away. Clean this 2-3 times a day will help.

Today just adopted a pair of female Shelties from someone.

Chubby piggies, I named them Caramel and Latte.

Looks a bit like this thread thumbnail profile huh?

Well...anyone wants to adopt 10 normal american shorthair breed GPs? Someone SMS me on that. If you guys want, can pm me. You know lah, I don't like normal shorthair American GP, look like a rat to me.

Ya..fully agreed. I might get one too. Already contacted that guy, will view his GPs soon. Had talked to him, he has own collections of Peruvian and Teddy Bears too.
Probably one day will visit his home to see his pets. Btw, he got his sources from Banting supplier.

I have 3 old Shelties already 5 years old, one of them recently losing a lot of weight, eventhough everything seem no problem. May be like our human old age, having tooth and gum degenerate problem, can't chew very well any more. Am trying my best to help him regain his weight, and monitoring him. 2 of them having eye catarac...haha..something new to know GP also have such problem eh? These batch of Shelties I bought from Penang last time, had the best gene ever, big size and hardy. And imagine last time I got it only RM60 each. Now the price of Sheltie is RM188 after 5 years.

Oh..I didn't mention to you all my Chincilla color male Sheltie I bought from PLC died 2 weeks ago, at the age of 8 months old. Sigh, don't know what's the reason.

Anyway keeping GPs are much more easier than keeping rabbits. Rabbits die more easily than GPs.

In deed those rare breeds not so fertile too, my 5 years old Shelties pair, only produce 4 batch of babies in 5 years. Same goes with Peruvian, so far 3 batches then already stop. I noticed female GP will produce less after 3 years old, may be going into menopause already. So for those wanted to breed, must let them breed before 3 years old.

Depending on how big is your kiddy pool though.

Afraid their nails will puncture the pool material.

Texel should be in fizzy hair not curly. Like kena electrocuted or should I say like negro punya rambut.

Sometimes you can find Abbyruvian babies label as Abby.

Should be no problem, as long as you don't put it behind your car boot.

If you want to save cost, but yet want to give your GPs the balance diet, you can mix Hagen pellet with Oxbow pellets.

Solely rely on Hagen brand, your GP won't die, but with better brand like Kaytee or Oxbow, you can see the difference in terms of fur coat and appearance on your GP.

Btw, if you fed the unknown brand pallets for long, I can bet with you that your GP won't live to its maximum life span of 6-7 years old. That's why in Malaysia many GP owners say GP only live 3-4 years max in Malaysia due to Malaysia weather, that is bullshit! My GPs are already 5 years old, and I wish to break this record. My GPs are house outdoor, weather could be quite hot for them at times, especially those long fur type, but yet our Malaysian weather have not much impact on them. It is their immunity that counts, balance diet contributed to the good immunity too.

Today, just took back home my 1st Texel GP. Its a male cutie.

Had long discussion with the seller, he told me he went to Banting farm there and pick his stocks, the condition of the GPs there approx 1,000+ and most of them are in terrible condition. I found got skin problem on this GP, according to him, this is already consider better after he had treated it for 2 weeks, there are some even worst than that.

According to him, in that farm has Teddy Bear breed, and Satin Himalayan, but very very limited stocks. The owner is trying to breed more to fulfill the market needs. But the farm owner doesn't really knows the breed well. So buyer beware when you choose the breed.
