Sire: Argento (Silver Argento of Harmony) ARI#
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.

She is a dynamite mother, protective and patient, who breeds easily, births easily, and has plenty of milk. Her cria grow rapidly and are very healthy.
At almost 14 years old, Silver Select is still in the top 10% EPDs for AFD and % of fibers over 30 micron, top 15% for Spin Fineness.
Her first cria, born in 2010, Synergy's Silver Tomo, is light silver gray and received numerous first place ribbons during his show career. Silver Select's 2015 cria is a stunning light silver grey boy, sired by Silver Argento. 2016 brought a dark silver grey girl, again sired by Argento. Silver Select delivered a true black girl, sired by Wirrpunda, in 2017. We repeated that breeding for 2018 for a silver grey boy, Silver Kid.
Service Sire: Arrow (Dark Arrow of Harmony) ARI#
32630053 True Black Due Date: 7/15/2019 Arrow has tons of dense and lustrous black fiber, from top of his head to toes. He absolutely drips with luster! Arrow is solid true black, with no brown tipping. Arrow is a 2 time Championship winner, Reserve Color Champion at MOPACA and Color Champion at The Futurity in 2014, and turns heads wherever he goes. Luscious!!
Arrow eagerly transitioned to the next stage in his career...from show ring to our breeding program! Arrow's offspring are now earning championships in the show ring!
Arrow was classified during our 2014 SHIP herd classification, and received top scores for all conformation traits, and outstanding scores for all fleece traits - higher than the national herd all the way down the list. He continues to hold excellent fiber stats.
We love this guy and we think you will too!
Description
Maggie's parents are both grey. Silver Argento is a Silver Stone son, and Silver Select's sire is Meadowgates's Eminance Grise. Silver Select is one of those moms who has her baby, takes care of her baby, and you hardly even realize it's happened. No drama, no problems. Just good healthy babies, who thrive under her care.
