Like many of his paternal siblings Man in Black is unmistakably a son of Champion Fawn Herdsire, CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. With the possible exceptions of Legacy Gold and Archangel no other male in Cas-Cad-Nac has been capable of stamping both their phenotype and fleece characteristics into their offspring with such amazing consistency as Ring of Fire. What is not widely known however is that though Man In Black and his sire before him owe much to the genetic power of Snowmass Royal Rose (MiB's paternal grandsire) and Peruvian Hemingway (MiB's paternal great grandsire)they owe at least an equal debt to Ring of Fire's dynamic dam, 5Peruvian Margarita. It is from his paternal granddam that Man In Black so clearly inherited the head, heavy bone, and unmistakable presence. And that is still only part of the equation! Then there is the matter of the silky black fleece that he inherited from his dam, Victoria. The same fleece qualities that made Victoria a multiple Champion have been passed on to Man In Black as well as his full sibling, Concordia currently on CCNF's show string. Man in Black's production record as of 2017 47 registered offspring 25 female 22 male 38 true black 5 bay black 4 medium brown Man in Black's head style and coverage comes through in almost every cria. We can always identify his offspring by sight. What a spectacular Herdsire!

Perhaps the best black male we've seen. Certainly the best black male we've raised. Norrington is a multiple champion, so good he was given a second and even a third look in the Judges Choice award competition at MAPACA 2010. Remarkable consistency in crimp architecture throughout his blanket, fine, dense, excellent conformation. The total package. Yet another fine son of Silver Legend of KPR
