A son of Royal Peruvian Challenger (a SOLID Dark Rose Grey) Sunny Mesa's Pepperdyne has exceptional fiber coverage. He will produce solid black when bred to black who display high frequency crimped, bright fiber in the 17-18 micron range. Pepper transfers his exceptional coverage including stove-pipe legs, excellent fiber character, density, brightness and conformation. He carries grey genes from his Dad, a champion at AOBA in '99 and the wonderful fiber characteristics of his Dam. Pepperdyne produces lovely gray too: Ezra Gray, a handsome tuxedo gray male from a rose gray female, Castle Rock Cognac Reserve VS, a stunning award winning silver gray male with an incredible histogram: AFD:15.7, SD 3.2, CV 20.1% %>than 30 microns .5 Spin Fine 15.2 Comfort Factor: 99.5%! And apparently, he can produce gray when bred to black as well; Jenna Rosita surprised us by 'turning' dark silver gray between her second and third shearing! Pepperdyne's Champion progeny include Color Champion Sunny Mesa's Reilly II and Reserve Color Champion Coal Black who was recognized by two senior judges for his fineness in halter and fleece shows. His full sister Velvet follows Coal in quality and fineness. Pepper's progeny are still winning in the show ring and maintaining extreme fineness:Color Champion Reilly placed 1st in the 2012 ABR Fall Festival Fleece Show with a 19 out of 20 for fineness and handle! Arturo Pena commented:'Excellent fineness for age. Good brightness.' Sunny Mesa's Reilly II has impressively fine, consistent fleece: AFD: 17.3, SD: 4.0, CV: 23.2, %>30: .9!

Another award winning male progeny, Bruce of Sunrise Ridge, sheared a 13 lb. blanket in 2013! Pepper is an excellent choice for maintaining color, lowering micron, improving brightness and coverage and producing "advanced" character. Pepper’s offspring also come in: grey and rose grey, gorgeous browns, and bay black. Sunny Mesa's Pepperdyne is proudly co-owned with Windrush Hill Farm.

Sassafras has great fiber coverage on her sturdy frame and a nice, upright stance. An excellent mother, providing ample milk, she sailed through her first pregnancy and birth easily. She is an extremely low-maintenance, super healthy, female. Sassafras is the dam of the award-winning, bay black Bruce of Sunrise Ridge, a Sunny Mesa Pepperdyne male. Sassafras has shown the ability to pass the service sire's best conformational and fiber qualities through to the cria. Sassafras' progeny, the award winning Bruce of Sunrise Ridge, sheared a 13 pound blanket in 2013! She combines the heritage of Peruvian Felix, on her award-winning sire's side, with Peruvian Oro from her dam. Her sire, Ole Country Caleb, is the son of the late Reserve Color Champion CPHA Plum Cake, who carried the grey genetics of her father, a dark silver grey. Las Bonitas' Sassafras will make an excellent foundation female, providing healthy, sturdy, densely fibered progeny with the added possibility of grey.
