It may be an Alpaca

They are regarded as having some of the softest wool in the world but few know how to process it into yarn.

I think it's an alpaca; close relative of the llama, but famous for its wool. Never seen a llama with fuzzy shins...

I see the Saj beat me to it.

I think the others may be right in saying it's an alpaca. Alpacas are really cute and rather small, so they might appear baby-ish :) And yes, they do have the little fuzzy legwarmer things and the fuzzy long hair on their heads :)

Greetings,
I agree, they look like alpaca's, and as for the "leg warmers" the overall coat of the animal STRONGLY resembles they way a sheep looks after its been sheared for the summer, so considering others have mentioned the quality of the critters coat, I'd suggest that is what has happened to these two...

This guy musta been shaving in the dark :-) some serious track marks.

it's not a poodle, you shave them for their wool not for looks. Thus, the goal is to shave them quickly (track marks be damned).... ;)

Well i found that seriously funny.
But maybe it's Scottish humour?
Nice pics.
Looks like a photoshop of a number of animals

This happens to be the hairy northern land-cod seen after it had shed its spawning fur. Often mistaken by novices for a South American Alpaca , it is rarely seen in this glory and is certainly a prize to be relished by those who chance a rare glimpse of the elusive aquatic creature. ;-)
