Description
Midnight Marvel is likely the most well-known daughter of Gunsmoke and bears a striking resemblance to her sire. She is a deep bay black female with lots of luster and she carries two generations of grey genetics from her sire Gunsmoke and her grandsire Condor - perhaps the finest-fleeced grey ever imported from Peru. Midnight's dam, Marce, is a beautiful deep Maroon import, making Midnight Marvel unrelated to most other grey suris in the country and a producer of rich deep color - in those most desirable shades of black, grey and maroon.
Midnight Marvel was a top-selling female at the 2005 Ameripaca Auction at $42,000, where she also won a Color Championship in the Futurity show. She has produced beautifully deep-colored offspring for us, passing on her luster and producing crias with consistent lock structure and strong conformation. She is an excellent mother, an easy birther, and is always watchful of her cria.
She had a stunning little classic dark grey female cria out of our 5-Time Grey Champion, WLK Sterling Silver (see Andean Vista's Macy Gray),
Midnight Marvel is also available in a package deal (see our package listings)
