Ameretto is an outstanding male! We are happily keeping many of his daughters and a few of his sons in our program. As we look at his pedigree, it is no wonder we want to pass on these lines. He is the son of Snowmass XXXtreme LegacyXXX, a multi-champion & Judges Choice winner with 6 Get of Sire Blue ribbons, as well as Reserve Get of Sire Winner at the Futurity. Triple X is a deep, rich brown stud, with a balance of both light and dark colors in his pedigree, all from exceptional lineages. On Ameretto's paternal line, you have Snowmass XXXtreme Legacy XXX, Snowmass Conopa XXX, Snowmass Infinity, Snowmass XXXtreme, Peruvian Snowmaster, Snowmass Accoyocusani, Snowmass Royal Rose, Snowmass Legacy Gold, Snowmass Chiribaya. It was a great match when XXXtreme Legacy XXX and Ameretto’s dam, Snowmass Amberlight were paired. Amberlight has a big impact on the superior quality of Amoretto as well. His dam, Snowmass Amberlight is a Peruvian Bueno daughter with rich brown fleece fine as silk belongs to this girl. Ameretto's maternal grandsire Peruvian Bueno has been turning out award-winning cria since he was imported from Peru in 1993. Bueno's legacy is indisputable. We all know the Champions he has produced and the 14 Get of Sire's he has won over the years, & with Amber Glow as her Dam, this girl brings so many sought after genetics to the table. Beautiful, straight stature and a medium bone structure on a centric frame, gives this girl her appealing presence. Adding her other traits of buttery fine fleece and superior coverage and superior density make her a treasure to find at this time. At ten years of age, Ameretto has dense, lingering fine, bright fleece on a compact, stout frame. His disposition is gentle and calm. He has a uniform black color and loads of coverage all the way to his toes. It displays great uniformity, consistency of style, high frequency crimp. Ameretto is an excellent find for his age. He stamps this gorgeous fleece and phenotype on his offspring, along with a consistent crimp style, with most progeny being blue-black in color. In fact 88% of his offspring are black. Ameretto has sired champions and comes from champion lineage. Carrying the superior traits of his sire and dam, it shows that Ameretto has prepotent-lineage for top quality offspring. Ameretto and his offspring are fantastic at producing quality, black cria with all the traits desired by top breeders. Look at our Midnight Glory, consigned to the 2024 Futurity Auction, for an example of what he can produce for your farm! Watch for his multi-champion son on our 2024 show string!
