832696 White, Medium Brown We can't say enough about this AOBA NATIONAL CHAMPION multi male! A gorgeous, fancy male with Accoyo and black genetics, he has fleece as dense as a Berber carpet! Shazaam is half Accoyo, from his dam, and his sire is the famous true black Mephisto. Mephisto is the son of the famous gray male, General Schwarzkopf. Mephisto had won five blue ribbons by the age of two, including AOBA and Estes Park. He also won the Get of Sire class at the Virginia Classic 2003 over some whites! His cria have always performed well in the show ring.
His dam, Heart's Desire has been a consistent top producer with three National Top Ribbon winners that I know of. One of her other sons is standing at a well known farm and commands a 5000.00 breeding fee! This absolutely beautiful FULL ACCOYO female was hand selected from Julio Barreda's B-Line Accoyo Herd in Peru. Her incredible fleece stats were AFD 17.3, SD 3.3, CV 19.1, 0.6% > 30 microns when imported. Heart has a beatiful head style and is covered from head to toe in crimpy, consistent fleece. As you can tell, I think the world of this girl as I am standing TWO of her sons as herdsires! This is a phenomenal female, with excellent mothering skills, great milking ability, easy births, and just stunning in general. The last time I had seen her listed for sale was for $55,000 --she was purchased and worth every penny! We saw Shazaam when he was only 2 months old and knew we had to have him. Even at this age, his legs looked like tree trunks! His bone mass, overall size, coverage and density of fleece are amazing. After being examined under the tail in the show ring, one well-known international senior judge commented "WOW"! Thus his libido has been strong since he was only a few weeks old. This male is more than willing to perform and has settled his first females at 20 months of age. We anticipate Shazaam being able to produce a variety of colors, due to the black and gray genetics he carries. His strong bold crimp carries consistently through the white and colored areas in his fleece. Both his sire and dam have consistently produced National ribbon winners. Shazaam is pleasant and easily worked with and carries a very masculine presence. Shazaam! is a strong breeder and has consistently settled females on the first or second breeding. UPDATE: Shazaam has proven he can throw awesome color with his beautiful solid true black son, and agorgeous solid mahogany boy out of a Mr. President's daughter! He can throw solid colors, but also fancy as well!! Several of his cria are already blue ribbon winners!

Description
Includes breeding to Black Champion Midnight Express
Gwenie is a gorgeous product from impressive Accoyo and Peruvian genetics. Her fleece is very dense, crimpy, and has a comfort factor of 98.7%. Gwenie exhibits perfect conformation and beautiful fleece with a Curve of 40.8! Her fleece is maintaining it's wonderful handle into her later years. Gwenie is a unexpressed rose/fawn grey and carries GRAY & BLACK genetics from her sire, AOBA National Champion, FD Shazaam!
Our favorite trait of Gwenie is her exceptional mothering instincts. She provides an abundance of milk and is a very loving dam to her cria. She does the entire birthing process herself (the crias practically walk out of her and are up and nursing within minutes!) The trait that will make you fall in love with this line is the temperament. Gwenie and her offspring are sweet, inquisitive, and they all love carrots!
Gwenie began her breeding career in the Spring of 2006..... which resulted in her 2007 fawn gray female, Vicki Vale, who is the image of her champion sire, Crescent Moon's Checkmate. Vicki Vale still resides at Double 8. Her 2008 cria is out of our very own champion, Panther, is also breath-taking! His Light Rose Grey fleece is super fine! He is standing stud in GA. Her 2009 cria, Queenie, is a dark brown female that sold at six months old. We held Gwenivere open for 2010/2011 due to our farm relocation from NJ to VA, but Gwenie was back on track in 2012 giving birth to Late Knight Arrival. He is an impressive fawn male sired by Royal Command and has already found a new home. Gwenie was been bred to our SNOWMASS Midnight Magic/Accoyo Express son, Midnight Express, a halter and fleece champion himself. The true black female cria produced from the pairing should grow up to be a knockout.
Gwenie will be a very difficult one to part with, as she is an easy-keeper and is just a sweetheart! She would be a great addition to anyone looking for a solid production girl, who makes show-worthy cria with beautiful fleece!
Gwenie is microchipped and BVD tested negative. She comes with her true black female cria by side, Double 8 Lady of Midnight.
