Description

We were looking for a grey herdsire and we were attracted to this grey male Achilles not because of his loaded pedigree, but more for the wonderful fleece qualities we saw when we looked at him closely at The Futurity in 2021. His fleece exhibited an exemplary layered lock structure when we examined it. It was a dense fleece that one would expect with that type of organization. It was uniform relative to him being grey and had a great handle. It is a cool slick handle, The fleece exhibited the beautiful luster expected in a Suri. In addition to the fleece, we loved his conformation. He's got the square proportions we look for. He has a strong and level back. He has great, solid bone and carries himself like a champion. The loaded pedigree we alluded to earlier is just an added bonus. Of course, it could be that the reason why he exhibited all those great qualities is because his pedigree is exceptional. The list of great and prepotent herdsires found in that pedigree is amazing. The list includes Miguel, Shavano, GLR Nico, Archimedes, Felipe, Hershey, Sirius Black, 90 Proof, Chakotah, MacGyver, Mystic Brown, Huckleberry, and Allegro. I am sure the number of great females sired by some of these males or bred to these males is an exceptional list too. We are so proud to own this boy and we can't wait to put him on some of our females in 2023 for crias due in 2024.
