Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities.

Royal is a lovely black female with correct conformation and a soft, bright, crimpy fleece. She has been bred twice and produced two nice, healthy crias, one black (Spirit, 2015) and one gray (Silver Shadow, 2016...royal fine fleece). She has an Alianza - Accoyo pedigree including Accoyo Royal Fawn and Peruvian Andrajo (Alianza). Royal's dam, Trufflina, was a blue ribbon fleece winner who beat Pacific Crest's P. Microsoft with Judge Julie Skinner at PNAA 2000. Trufflina also produced 13 crias with outstanding weight gain (up to 1 pound per day for the first 9 days) and high IgGs (3000s+) and...this line (P.. Andrajo) has contributer greatly to the success of many blue ribbon winners and champions. Royal's black sire is from the Accoyo Royal Fawn lineage and the Stachowski breeding program. Royal was born at 18+ lbs and was running circles in the barn stall at one hour old! She is very dark black with a very soft, crimpy, nicely dense fleece. She has beautiful structure and a lovely, typey head. Her maternal brother, our champion Constantino, beat award-winning sons of two record high-selling studs (Legacy and Royal Fawn) and won blue ribbons for 5 years for FF halter and fleece and has many award winning descendants.
