His sire is the undefeated AML El Duro's Principio and his dam is a lovely light fawn Jericho daugher. What genetics!
Grand Slam is extremely dense and fine with a silky handle which carries zipper crimp right to the tips. Check out his amazing fiber stats below. His square body type and strong bone are striking and he carries himself upright with great pride and attitude.

We cannot say enough about QR Grand Slam’s Fenway.
Before she was born, we had wished for a female Grand Slam. What we got was a carbon copy of her 5 time Reserve Champion father. “Exactly what we had wished for.”
Her genetics are flawless. Her grandsire is AML El Duro's Principio and her grand dam is a lovely light fawn Jericho daughter.
Fenway’s dam is a Multiple Blue ribbon winner herself and showed in many of the largest shows in the northeast and always took the top ribbons in the Black female classes.
Fenway is extremely dense and fine with a silky handle which carries zipper crimp right to the tips. She is a "no nonsense" female who breeds easily, carries her pregnancy without problems, delivers flawlessly and raises her crias efficiently.
Bred to Annual's Bea 2 Bomber, Fenway produced a lovely rose gray female cria born March 15th, 2015. Bomber's Vixen showed at the Showtacular in Syracuse, NY, and placed 3rd and then 2nd in the rose gray juvenile classes. The following year, Fenway was bred to the renowned Majestic Meadows Jumanji and delivered white male cria who has developed into a strong boned compact youngster with extremely dense, crimpy fiber. Fenway's 2018 cria by West Penn's Supreme Justice, Is a stunning medium fawn female who will begin her show career this spring. Jabberwocky and Uptown Girl are listed for sale on their own pages.
Fenway has been bred to Xanadu P. Alchemist for a Fall 2019 cria. Alchemist is a 10X Champion and Judges Choice winner.
