Once you get them friendly watch your zips!  Shetlands seem to like nothing better than a nice zip to chew when the goodies have all gone.

Enjoy, we just got ours In December. Lots of character and very bolshie (jumping up, feet in bucket). If bucket trained very manageable - plus light enough for even me to carry. Ours are polled but still put manners on our westies!  Don't now how I'm going to eat them....

Love your colours - I went for a good mix too and yes they all have names, bucket trained and I almost get bowled over at feed time and Hazel uses JoJo my bottle fed Jacob as a stepping stone to get her head in the bucket however high I try to hold it!! Have fun  :) :) :)
