Let’s meet 2 of our Teddybear boys, Max and Benji ❤️.

Max and Benji are , a very rare : Miniature Olde English Babydoll Southdowns. There are currently only 300 breeding babydolls in the Europe, and in 1986 miniature babydolls like these guys here were considered extinct in the UK!

Did you know? Their fleeces are supersoft, and generally runs in the 19 to 22 micron range, which puts the fleece in the class of cashmere ❤️

Very special boys indeed ❤️
