GLR Padrone is a true black Shavano son and up and coming junior herdsire that we are watching with interest as he matures. He is jet black, comes from a black dam, Prestigia who has been an incredible producer of elite suri offspring. She is the mother of GLR Persephone, GLR Pablano, and GLR Chipotle, all Color Champions and all dark brown or black. GLR Padrone has a full jet black sister, GLR Black Diamond who was 3rd in the juvenile black female class at MAPACA, 2nd at the AAA Futurity and 1st at GWAS in Denver. Cool thing about Padrone is also that he has no MacGyver blood in his pedigree so he will be the perfect complement to anyone's beautiful Macgyver females. Shavano, the 2010 Dark Herdsire of the Year, is not open to outside breedings, so GLR Padrone presents a great opportunity to acquire his genetics.

Manuela is a true black Macgyver grandaughter. Senior Judge Amanda Vanderbosch said "...superb density, high degree of luster and a fine consistant lock sets this youngest girl in class up near the top...." At the 2011 AOBA Nationals, Senior Judge Julio Sumar was impressed with her presence, and the density, fineness and feel of her fleece. Enough said. We're planning on breeding her to our new true black herdsire, Padrone- sired by Shavano.
