LF del A DAHLIA CLOUD

DAHLIA'S SECOND HISTOGRAM (36 MONTHS) HAS JUST COME IN.

We are so pleased with this girl She is retaining lovely fineness, in fact, her numbers have decreased just a smidge from her 12th month to her 36th month. Take a gander:


2018 - 36 mo. AFD: 20.8 SD: 4.7 CV: 22.7 % CF: 96.1 %
2016 - 12 mo. AFD: 21.2 SD: 4.9 CV: 23.3 % CF: 94.6 %

Dahlia's pedigree is a genetic powerhouse, boasting some of the best grey bloodlines in the grey "book." Rincon Cloud (maternal grandsire) and Orlando Cloud (paternal grandsire).

Her dam, Pearl, is a multiple champion and at 8 years old, is still a beauty. When bred to Bomber, Pearl gave us Pearly King, 2X blue ribbon and RCC, one at Nationals Fleece in 2017. He also retains his fineness into his second year.

Dahlia's ribbon winning tuxedo fawn sire, Tracker Cloud (Orlando Cloud son) throws grey. And into his 7th year, continues to give us 5# of soft, usable blanket fiber... and you guessed it, with lingering fineness.

Lingering fineness is a family thing!

So, it seemed like a "no brainer" to breed Dahlia to Annual's Bea-2 Bomber. He is a 9x banner winning light rose grey, and son of .38 Special. Bomber was AOA halter champion two years running and took RCC (to his sire's CC fleece) also at nationals!

Bomber's progeny have garnered 38 banners to this date, and surely there will be more to come.

This cute as a button female is just poised to throw grey or rose, with lingering fineness, lol!

She is a rosey brown with black points and a tiny grey spot on her flank.
