About Me
- Alaska Shetland Shepherd
- Wasilla, Alaska
- I have been owned by Shetlands and Shetland crosses since 1997. The first 4 arrived to assist my AKC Australian Cattle Dogs with learning herding maneuvers. I bred to registered Shetland rams to improve them and kept good ewe lambs back each year. I slowly built up my flock and now keep 40 or so year 'round. Recently we had the flock tested for OPP and Johne's diseases also and I'm happy to say all tested negative! WOOHOO!! My interest in registered Shetlands was always there. I bought a few each year. As my registered numbers grow, my unregistered sheep numbers will dwindle except for a few old favorites who will stay. I grew up around sheep in Michigan and have been around the big wool breeds for years, but the Shetland is a far superior breed with fantastic wool and small size as well as big personalities. They do very well in Alaska! In 2007 I flew up 8 spotted Shetland lambs for my breeding plans and new genetics in Alaska, and 2 more lambs in 2008. I really look forward to the future lambs to arrive here at Silveraurora! I'm also busy with a wonderful dairy goat herd as well, so occasionally you'll see some of my beauties on this blog too!

I like Krunet....pretty black. So mom is black but we don't know if she is recessive?
Suzanne! I have this lamb's twin!!! No kidding...they look so much alike it isn't funny.
I will look up what I found this pattern to be the closest to - I did look in my Color Consensus from NASSA the other night, but I think with lambing and sheep-related-brewhaha I forgot what I came up with. Krunet could be in there, but there is a pattern whcih is described as a star or blaze which could also fit. I'll have a look and get back with ya! (We military-family-people have to stick together, don't we?) ;-) I hope all is well with your DH.
She's wearing a bonnet! How long can you hold back on registering their colours? It might develop a bit more as she grows and become a bit clearer.
