Sparticus is a stunning male who has caused people to stop in their tracks when he walks down the aisle on a lead. I describe him as the "essence of suri". He is a prime example of our breeding philosophy, being 1/2 Peruvian, 1/2 Chilean and 1/4 Accoyo, and we hit the jackpot with this cross. Sparticus was born with locked, lustrous fleece from day one, good sized testicle at birth, and with a tall, stretchy look. He has excellent coverage with great density. To top it off, his locked, lustrous fleece grows back the same every year. He was 21.4 pounds at birth and grew rapidly, weighing 70+ pounds at 3 months and 150 pounds at 14 months. We was an early breeder, as was his sire. His dam also produces early maturing crias, females well over 100 pounds at 12 months of age and easily bred at 13 months. Early maturity gives our clients about a 6-month jump on return of investment, and it is prevalent in this young male's lineage.
Sparticus hit his stride in the show ring in 2007, taking multiple blue ribbons, including a 1st place at the 2007 Suri Symposium fleece show, 1st place at the 2007 Futurity, 1st place at GWAS in yearling dark fawn males, 1st place in Produce of Dam with his full sister, Contessa. He has continued this winning record into 2008, culminating in 1st and Reserve Champion fleece at the AOBA National Show.
We look forward to seeing what this male with obvious hybrid vigor will produce.
