We are very excited to add Champion true black GLR Arappaho to our herd. Arappaho is a striking suri herdsire with rare bloodlines, from the outstanding breeding program at Great Lakes Ranch, Brad and Jandy Sprouse. Arappaho was named Black Male Champion at both the 2009 AOBA National show in Cleveland with over 800 suris and was also Champion at MAPACA in 2009. He was only shown twice in 2009. His fleece has that sought after extreme greasy feel and is lustrous throughout each lock. He has well defined, consistent locks across the blanket with coverage to his toes and his conformation is exact with strong bone. Arappaho is a Shavano son out of an outstanding Synergy daughter. Shavano is half accoyo, true black and the 2010 Dark Herdsire of the Year. He was Black Male Color Champion as a juvenile at the 2006 AAA Futurity, and Reserve Black Male Color Champion at MAPACA that spring. Shavano went on to win his class the next year as a yearling at both the AAA Futurity and AOBA Nationals in 2007. Arappaho's dam, GLR Allelujah, is a fawn female with extreme luster and great density. Shavano is not open to outside breedings so Arappaho presents a great opportunity to add some of Shavano's rare genetics to your breeding program. Plan your breedings now to this Champion, rare Shavano son, GLR Arappaho.

Cinder is simply amazing. At 11 years of age, her fleece today shows brillant luster with a slick hand just as it did in her first fleece. Cinder is one of those special girls who maintains fineness and luster year after year. She was a champion herself at the Big E and her fleece won 1st Place at AOBA Nationals in 2004 and 1st and Judges Choice at Fall Fest in 2007!! She has consistently produced beautiful black crias all of which have been outstanding. Her second cria, Ebony Cachet, is a Reserve Champion, and placed 2nd at AOBA Nationals in full fleece and 1st at AOBA in 2007. Her latest cria, Midnight Twinkle, is another beautiful black girl.
