Laureate Shelties Blog
A bit of this, a bit of that...with a lot of free spirits.

(I wasn't planning on posting pictures of the babies until they were about 7 or 8 weeks of age; but these are so cute, I can't help myself.) Pete and I used to take photos of our puppies for our records at three, five and then again at eight weeks of age. We soon dropped the five week photo session as the pictures were never very representative. The puppies often looked more like Spaniels than Shelties at that age!

I'd rather play with puppies than weed!

Here is the girl with the full collar at 4 1/2 weeks of age. She is reminiscent of our Starlight Express, and that isn't a surprise as her dam, "Paris" has often mistakenly been called "Sparkle"!

A good reason to slack off!
