| River Rock's Whitney | |
|
This
self-assured half-Peruvian beauty is dark maroon with white facial
markings and grey spots on her blanket and nose, so is a great candidate
for a grey breeding program. Her sire, the full Peruvian JA Ivan, has
outstanding presence, fiber quality and density, inherited from his famous
sire Peruvian Aladdin. Whitney’s beautiful coloration, presence and
compact body style come from her dam, a Chilean import. Whitney is a great
mother, who births without assistance and produces abundant supplies of
milk. A natural leader, Whitney has great crimp and density to her fiber
and excellent coverage. She has good bone, a nice upright carriage and is
attractive, intelligent and very friendly. In October 2003 Whitney gave
birth to a beautiful silver grey daughter, Shannon, sired by our multiple award-winning grey
herdsire, Ben MacDhui. We are so delighted with Shannon, Whitney was
rebred with Dhui in November 2003 in the hope of a
repeat performance! |

Whitney gave
birth to Shannon, MacDhui's first cria, in October 2003. Dhui is our medium silver grey
herdsire with exceptional density and lock structure to his award winning
fleece, excellent conformation, an exquisite typey head, and a truly
delightful temperament. He also has a strong grey/black pedigree reaching
back four generations.
Shannon is medium silver grey and appears to have inherited excellent fiber quality and conformation from both of her parents. She is fast becoming a farm favorite, with her feisty, curious and friendly attitude. |

 Whitney and Shannon |
A half-Peruvian granddaughter of Peruvian Aladdin, Whitney exhibits wonderful crimp and density. She inherited her magnificent and rare maroon coloration from Lantara, her Chilean dam, who is also mother to Whitney's award-winning maroon half brother Romeo, and her silver half sister Titania. Whitney has never been shown and is a member of our core breeding herd. Recently we have noticed that she is developing more and more grey coloration - on the tips of her ears, her tail, her nose and in her blanket. She is definitely one of our most intelligent, intuitive and beautiful females and is even more valuable now that she has confirmed our belief that she can produce grey. |  Daughter, Shannon |
