**2025 UPDATE** It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sammy due to a urethral blockage. We are devastated over this loss! We do not currently have ANY of his offspring in our herd and that is such a shame. We do have one female, Lyra, bred to Sammy for a 2025 cria and we hope it is a fantastic one! Sammy had come such a long way since he arrived on our farm. He was very shy, but had really come out of his shell and was one of our sweetest boys. _________________________________________________________________________ Sammy was an excellent addition to our herdsire row and HE IS AWESOME! Dense, fine, lustrous fleece that is eye-catching and beautiful to touch. Sammy's sire, Belmonte's September Sun Shine, recorded a stunning density on his biopsy!! Check out Doctor Evans' findings: Belmonte's September Sunshine was biopsied at 20 months of age. The density is 90 follicles per 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. 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. Sammy's dam, BBFAI Mountain Mist, is the full sister to 2017 AOA National White Champion male, BBFAI Mont Alejandro. Alejandro sired the 2020 Suri Light Female and AOA National Supreme Champion!!! The genetics this male is carrying are extremely promising! We are so excited to get him proven in 2021, as he still has some growing to do, but we can't wait to see what he will produce for us! We have several outstanding females to pair with him...stay tuned!!! Sammy was biopsied on August 1, 2020 and we are anxiously awaiting his results.... **UPDATE** Biopsy results are back!! Wow!! Are we pleased!! DENSITY: 76.8 follicles/ SQ MM S/P RATIO: 11.4:1 Avg. Secondary Fibers: 16.8 microns/ SD : 1.9 Avg. Primary Fibers: 19.8 microns/ SD: 2.2 Micron Variation (SPREAD): 3.0 microns!! Evaluation per Ian Watt: These are very good numbers for a suri male! The density is not only high but the fiber populations are remarkable uniform and fine brought about by the high density and better-than-average S/P ratio. This male can be used with confidence on a wide range of quality females....

Kahuna Daughter, Great Producer!

Kahuna's Fiona

SuriOpen (Female)White
AOA# 31702430DOB: 8/27/201014 yrs
**Description by previous owners** This girl produces amazing cria for us! She and her cria have excellent density, luster, and fineness! Her dad is the infamous Pucara Kahuna, and dam side includes Uribe, Ganador, and Santana. She is an easygoing female with no health issues and births easily. She would be an excellent breeding female for your farm! Her daughter, Starlit won a Championship at MAPACA and Reserve Championship at Buckeye, and this year's cria, Porcelain Doll (Dolly) is sure to be a show winner as well. ________________________________________ We were so fortunate to find another Kahuna daughter to add to our foundation herd..and right in our back yard (PA), so to speak! Fiona is a wonderful female and such a mild-mannered girl. She is definately no-fuss and loves to just 'hang out.' She is also an attentive mom with lots of milk. We found out that she loves to hold onto her babies..her beautiful 2020 male cria was born on June 24th at 372 days' gestation! Ice Man's Grand Finale (Fin) was definately worth the wait though! He has a beautiful suri head, fine, lustrous fleece and appears to have good density as well. We are making plans for next year's cria but will start early in the season though...it will be another long wait to see her next beautiful cria!! 2021 UPDATE We have been blessed with the opportunity to acquire some really nice males in the past year....and we needed to get them proven!! We decided to pair Fiona with our boy, Sammy, (who has wonderful, dense fleece--76.8 follicles/sq mm on biopsy) and they had a successful breeding on July 1. We are really looking forward to Sammy's offspring. He is such a sweet male....hoping that personality passes on with the fleece characteristics!! July UPDATE Well, she did it again! At 380 days, Fiona delivered the most beautiful male cria!! This boy is going to be special!! We are very pleased with Sammy's first 2 male offspring in 2022. He is off to a great start as a herdsire!!

Description

And now we have Samuel's 2nd cria...another gorgeous boy!! This little guy has fleece to spare, excellent coverage and should score very high for density. We are so impressed with the outcome of this pairing! Fiona is a great producer and Sammy is proving to be one too! Finest Locke was a name that just came to me as I was checking this little one over at 3 or 4 days old. He has very impressive locks all across his body, great coverage down his legs to his toes, and a beautiful suri head. He is really outstanding at this point! Locke was born at 380 days of gestation...our longest to date...and weighed 18 pounds. He is growing nicely, has good conformation and is a very active cria. He loves to pal around with Casanova and Decker. The three of them choose one of the females, a dog, a cat, a chicken, or me to follow around every day. It is so comical! And the play-fighting!!! These boys know how to rough house for sure!! Locke is the youngest cria currently, but he is strong and muscular, and easily holds his ground. He is often the instigator of the shenanigans!!
