<--ari-->Light Brown<--color-->Standing Ovations combines the presence, fiber, and conformation that every breeder looks for in a herdsire. "Stan" has placed first or second in just about every show (at least TEN that we can count) and has three Reserve Color Championships to his credit. We just love the way he commands the attention of judges with his long staple length, crimp from skin to tip, and density. With the genetics of Accoyo Victor, Guellermo, and 5P Camelot and a bay black dam, we believe he will be a great addition to our herdsire row as we strive to improve the fiber of our dark females. Stan's first cria is on the ground, and he is nothing short of remarkable. A chip off the old block, he demonstrates the fiber, presence, and conformation of his sire. Plus, he's darker than the dam!<--description-->

<--ari-->White<--color-->The Khantender Optimo is loaded with crimp from head to toe. He has crimp between his ears, on his tail, neck, and even down to his knees on all legs, where the quality of the fleece only then begins to wane. He has a bright and shiny fleece that will light a twinkle in your eye. He has a superb balance of fineness and density. He is a cross between the lines of Caligula and Shere Khan. Great sires in his background such as: Caligula, Vengador, Oro, El Senor, Allin Capac, and The Aga Khan. His dam is a half sibling to Simba of A.L.Pacas. The Aga Khan, a White Halter 11-Time Color Champion, represents the concentrated genetics of the truly legendary Shere Khan through two American male offspring - Vengador and Allin Capac 6004. Some comments about Khantender attributed to Jude Anderson, Judge at PAOBA 2006..."excellent package of fineness and correctness coupled with conformation"...."well covered"..."dense from head to toe".. Khantender has a medium brown spot on the left side of his blanket, just under 3 inches in diameter, which we refer to as his little 'humble spot'. Although keeping him from winning higher achievments in the showring in a white class, his colored class, he has been throwing color the majority of the time. As of July 2010, he has thrown (1) Light Fawn cria, (4) Med/Dark Fawn crias, (1) Medium Brown cria, (1) Dark Brown cria, (3) White crias, and (2) Brown/White Multicolored crias. We are looking for special 1/2 interest partners to share this male. Khantender's crias are beginning to take ribbons in the shows. See offspring ribbons below.
