Doctor Evans skin biopsy findings:
Belmonte's September Sunshine was biopsied at 20 months of age. One the 15x scan Sunshine shows tight symmetrical fiber clusters in the presence of a folliculitis. The density is 90 follicles of SQ MM of skin with an average S/P from 25 clusters of 11.1 to 1. The presence of triad fiber clusters which in my work is associated major genetic density. September Sunshine shows level 3 or 4 glands with only 30% secondary medullated fibers on the 250x scan. This should equate to nice luster as well as excellent handle.....100 secondary fibers averaged 16.1 microns and 50 primary fibers averaged 22.1 microns for a variation of 6 microns. These stats are in the top 0.5% of Suris that I have evaluated.
