Thistledown Heather Nikos
Huacaya, Female, Non-Breeder | Dark Rose Grey
ARI# 31600927, D.O.B. 5/21/2009,
Sire: PV Nikos ARI#
849905 Dark Silver Grey Nikos is an exceptional, half-accoyo, showy son of the renowned silver grey herdsire Aussie Rockford. Nikos is also out of one of the top quality grey females in the nation, Peaceful Valley Priya. Rockford is a half-accoyo son of Pperuvian Felix (deceased) and Priya is a half-accoyo daughter of Pperuvian Yupanqui (deceased), and both of Nikos' parents are highly regarded winners of numerous blue ribbons.
Nikos has outstanding conformation, a well-shaped beautiful head, extreme coverage and a dense topknot. His fleece is very, very fine and bright, with good architecture and a gorgeous dark silver grey color. He has well-defined narrow crimp throughout his fiber - all the way up his neck and into his topknot. Nikos is one of the most eye-catching and stylish grey males we have ever seen, with fantastic conformation, coverage, presence, movement and superb fiber. He has three Championships and nine blue ribbons to his credit, even though he has only set foot in a showring three times in his life! The rose grey Avatar son who was Reserve Champion to Nikos at the VA Classic, went on to win Reserve Champion at the prestigious Futurity in 2005, which gives you some idea of the quality of this male...
His first crias arrived in Fall 2007 - one solid true black, one true black with a white face - and his 2008 son out of a black dam appears to be a rare dark-pointed roan!
Proven to hold fineness and handle over time, Nikos offers excellent quality in colored fiber and rare Accoyo ancestry. His genetics will only be available through his offspring for the forseeable future, and we are currently offering a dark brown 7/8 Peruvian Champion female, Holly, bred with Nikos for her May 2009 cria, either as a 3-in-1, or as part of our "Six for $36,000" package.
Dam: DUNDEE'S Holly Hawk ARI#
849329 Dark Brown Our 2nd Annual Fall Champion Production Sale was so successful, we took Holly off our sales list to keep her May 2009 cria, sired by our half accoyo dark silver grey Champion PV Nikos. Holly produced an absolutely stunning rose grey daughter, Heather, from this breeding, (pictured at left and NFS!) and has been bred right back to Nikos. Holly, and her black daughter, Meliora, are currently listed for sale and we will sell one or the other, but not both!
Proven to produce black and grey, Holly Hawk is a beautiful dark brown, 7/8 Peruvian Champion, sired by the nationally acclaimed black Champion CPeruvian Black Hawk. Imported in utero, introducing a rare Peruvian bloodline to the U.S., Black Hawk won two consecutive black championships at Estes Park in 2000 and 2001, and first place fleece at the AOBA Nationals and Estes Park in 2001. He is producing Champion offspring, and Holly is no exception! Holly's light fawn dam, Clementine, is also a Champion, and a daughter of CPeruvian Jaxon, another renowned black Peruvian imported male.
In May 2007, Holly produced a beautiful dark silver grey son, McGregor, from her breeding with our super-dense silver grey halter Champion, Ben MacDhui. McGregor is already sold as a junior herdsire. We are keeping Holly's 2009 rose grey daughter, and either Holly, or her black May 2008 MacDhui daughter, Meliora, will remain in our foundation herd. We just can't decide which one to keep, so you choose!
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 7/8 Peruvian, Champion daughter of Black Hawk, bred with our half accoyo 3X Champion dark silver grey male, PV Nikos. We don't offer outside breedings to Nikos, an outstanding son of Aussie Rockford and a grandson of the legendary Accoyo machos, Felix (deceased) and Yupanqui (deceased), so don't miss this excellent opportunity to obtain these bloodlines, through a Champion dam, already proven to produce black and grey. You can't go wrong with an excellent mother of this quality.
Description
