2006 Favorite Spotted Lamb Contest Results...

It's over! It's official!! The Spotted Shetland Group's 2006 Favorite Spotted Lamb photo contest has been decided. There were 104 "official" votes cast. We have a tie for first place between #9....

I'm not sure who the owner of this little doll is ~ they haven't stepped up and claimed their lamb, yet. In my (NTBH) opinion, this lamb would be a "krunet" (white cap on the head), "bielset" (ring of color, different from the body, around the neck), "sokket" (legs a different color than the body). If the tail is also white, I would call this lamb an HsT (white on the Head, Socks & Tail ~ I would use the lower-case 's' because the front socks don't reach up to the knee). This is my personal opinion regarding the lamb's markings...other breeders may have other ideas and could be just as correct.
Tied for first place is my very own #6 (Bluff Country Rock Star!)

Rocky is registered as "yuglet" (color around eyes different from the body), "flecket" (white with large black or brown patches). I'm not sure that Rocky's brown patches are really large enough to qualify as flecket, but it's the closest description I can find... Some may also argue that his dark eye patches are too large for a yuglet and that he should be registered as "smirslet". But I looked up the definition of smirslet and it says: "dark colored with white around the mouth, head or neck". Yuglet seems to fit much better. (once again, in my never to be humble opinion.

Only one vote short of a three way tie for first place was photo # 17

I believe these two adorable lambs are "spotted katmogets", belonging to Stephen Rouse. Could be wrong about that though.... ;-) Aren't they adorable ??? I voted for this photo.

Photo # 27 was also tied for second place. Unfortunately, I can't find where I stored that picture on my computer! You can see ALL the lambs entered in the contest by CLICKING HERE
