Daughter of PHA Accoyo Stratosphere, a well known male who needs no introduction has given Mandolin a lineage of great history and genetics. Proudly boasting names such as PPPeruvian Astillero (Peru), 4Peruvian Legacy (Peru), Mandolin has passed this on to her offspring.

Genetics also from such names as Scotts Royal Gold, 6Peruvian Lizbeth (Peru), CPeruvian Accoyo Amadeus (Peru), Peruvian Ophelia and CPeruvian Speranza (Peru). Melody Lane Mandolin along with Melody Lane Crescendo produced a female named Bell. With the combination of the density/tight crimp plus the softness/bold crimp and long staple length, Bell has folds down her neck and back that signify additional density as she matures and grows.

Her personality is so gentle that she walks up to you waiting for kisses on her nose. BELL SOLD IN JUNE 2015. Mandolin is a superb mom with tons of milk and attention to her cria.
