GLR Tashi is the very first granddaughter of Shavano. Her mother, GLR Tica was the first female he ever sired. GLR Tica is a dark brown incredibly dense and lustrous Shavano daughter, one of the first Shavano kids that we have ever shown. Her mother, Tambora of Peru was one of our favorite dams who we sold at our Great Lakes Classic II sale in 2009. We purposely kept Tambora's daughter Tica, as we were not willing to let go of her mama's genetics due to her track record. When we bought Tambora, it was because of her extreme density and high luster, and Tica has inherited both those traits and more from her papa. Shavano is extremely dense and lustrous as well. Tica was shown in 2009 as a juvenile and was Reserve Brown Female Color Champion at both the AAA Futurity and Mapaca, and she won her class at AOBA Nationals. In 2010, Tica was Reserve Brown Female Champion at the AAA Futurity and Brown Female Color Champion at the 2010 GWAS in Denver and won the prestigious Judges Choice there as well. She was Brown Female Color Champion at AOBA Nationals in Ft. Wayne. GLR Tashi's sire is Young Felipe, our 5 time Color Champion White Rockstar son. When Tashi was born she had wrinkles all the way down her neck in ropes. She has a dense, lustrous fleece that is greasy with coverage from head to toe and a beautiful little wedge shaped head. In addition to being dense and greasy, Tashi's fleece is fine with a micron count of 17.6. She was 4th at the 2012 MAPACA show, the largest suri show in the country so far with 292 suris, and 5th at the AAA Futurity in Grand Island. She was bred to GLR Kolaqua our 2 time AOBA and the Mapaca Grey Color Champion and gave birth to an adorable little girl, GLR Tashina who made waves in the show ring in 2013 and 2014 including the first ever grey Judges Choice ever awarded.Tashi's 2013 male cria Taj was born so late that we were unable to show him in 2014. He is a clone of his dad Kolaqua and very much like his sister Tashina. His micron test came back at two years of age with a 19.3. Tashi was bred to CInders and had a fawn female GLR Tasha who will be traveling with us on the show circuit in 2017. Tashi is bred back to Kolaqua and expecting in late fall of 2016.Her son Taj has earned a solid spot in our stud row for service this year. We can't wait to see what he produces!
