32638967 Light Silver Grey Argento is a stunning light silver grey, with an almost lavender tint in the sunlight. He is sired by Silver Stone, a Silver Heat son, and out of Silver Belle, so he carries strong grey genetics. He is an enthusiastic breeder, and loves his work.
He has produced lovely grey, beautiful fawn,and excellent true black offspring. Argento has presence, and he seems to pass this on to his offspring. They are confident and striking. His first cria, Argento's Moonlight of Harmony, was awarded four championships, including the Dark Female Supreme Championship at AOA Nationals in 2017 and Judges Choice at the 2017 Futurity.
Argento's scores in the Suri Herd Improvement Program (SHIP) classification were excellent, with perfect conformation scores, and fiber traits were all well above average compared to the national Suri herd. He is well built, with lovely cool and silky fiber.
With beautiful fiber, superb conformation, and a very willing attitude, Argento is one studly guy.
