We might keep the female but will have to sell the boy as we already have his dad, the girl will be called SILVERSUN BRAITH   ( FRECKLED)  The boy will be SILVERSUN BOWEN  ( NOBLE WARRIER )

That is because they were still wet and our camera is not the best either.

I saw a pic of our Toggy girl at 6 days old and she looked like an alpine she was so dark! now though she's golden.  Then again, when I was born i had pitch black hair that turned blonde by the time I was 1 (wish it was now!)
