The sheltie babies are here

One day later then expected Qhila gave birth to her babies. She delivered them quite fast and with the end offered us a bonus of one extra puppy then the one's we saw in the ultra sound. She had 6 puppies.

2 Blue Merle Females, 2 Tricolour Females, 1 Blue Merle Male and 1 Tricolour Female. It is a super litter and i am very happy with the puppies.
