Sire: Black Chip's Casino - Deceased ARI#
849592 Dark Brown *** Casino passed away of natural cause one sunny morning. He almost made it to his 20th birthday. We appreciated his handsome pattern even through his retirement.
We have admired Black Chip since the first time we saw him. Given the opportunity to breed to this Black Chip progeny was an opportunity we could not pass. He is a stout male with huge bone and a very strong presence. His fleece is deep, rich mahogany with incredible density and luster. Casino has proven himself to be an excellent breeder having settled 2 of our females on the first try. Casino is now retired.
Casino has a SHIP rating of 4.1.
Dam: Selene of LHSA ARI#

Selene had her 1st Cria, Casino's Mandalay, this spring. 'Mandy' is a lustorous white girl with a totally brown butt end... very cute!
