Re: what breed???

If you give us some pigtures we can tell you what kinds they are.
Americans- have short hair, no little swirls
Silkies- long hair with no part down the middle
Peruvians- long hair with a part
Abbsynians- swirly stick uppity hair
Texels- long curly hair
Skinnies- no hair except for a little on the face
Crested-little swirl right on the forehead, no other swirls

I hope this kind of helps.

Re: what breed???

The white one on the right looks like an abby to me and the brown one on the left I can't see if it has any swirls or not but if he doesn't then I would say he's an american, if he has a swirl on his head and no where else he's a crested.

( I think I got that right guys-it's been a while since that info was all memo'd in my head, for those of you that don't know I finally have GP's again after at least 15 years without any) That's why I said it's been awhile.

About those pigtures, I found it's easier to use a photo bucket account them past the IMG link from there to your post here. Or the URL link either one will work.
