Graue Gehoernte Heidschnucke

The Graue Gehoernte Heidschnucke (GGH) or Grey Horned Heath Sheep is the symbol of the Lueneburger Heide, the heath area between Hanover and Hamburg, Germany. It is a beautiful rugged area covered with heather, bicycle paths (the soil is sand) and narrow roads for horse drawn carriages. It is a popular area for family get aways, back to nature.

The GGH is a very old, hardy breed which has survived on the heather and birch shoots of the heath for centuries. The lambs are born solid black and turn a silver grey (the actual color of the sheep in the photo) after their first sheering. There is something about the two tone look of the GGH that I find extremely appealing, although the airbrushing gives the black/grey area of fur a rougher texture than the white fur, I really like the look.
