His awards and his progeny speak for themselves. Shaquille comes from an incredible bloodline which includes his grandsire on the dam side, PPeruvian Leon- a rare dark fawn ACCOYO herdsire. Shaquilles Dam, NWA, Ltd Sunshine is a producer of champions. She has 8 offspring on the ground, 5 being of grey color and one of which is the great MFI Scimitar.
Dam: Rosalee 98-82 ARI#
807648 Dark Silver Grey Rosalee is a lovely DSG female out of two Chilean imports who does not act her age. She has great density, amazing leg coverage, and even more amazing – she had a micron count of 26 at age 12! Even better, she passes these fleece traits on to her offspring.
Rosalee is a proven dam with 8 registered offspring on the ground – 2 of which are multi-champion herdsires. She is a healthy easy keeper, and a fantastic mom with a very calm demeanor which she passes on to her cria - all are calm, friendly and easy to work with.
Check out her 2010 male cria Black Silver (aka 'Moose'). Moose has an amazing lineage with MSG Snowmass Sterling Silver (from the Snowmass Peruvian Casanova line) as his sire. He is a fantastic TB boy with lots of style in his dense, abundant fleece. He has great bone, a typey head, and excellent conformation. Like mom, he has fleece coverage to the floor. He has done wonderfully in the show ring, and has now joined the "working boys" having settled his first few females. We are very excited about this boy and are looking forward to seeing his first offspring next year! See his listing for more info.
For 2011, Rosalee was bred to MRG herdsire Shaquille. We were eager to see what this breeding would produce, and we were NOT disappointed. Rosalee delivered a spectacular MSG male with amazing fleece - another amazing offspring!
