SNOWMASS ARCTIC FROST ("Little Guns")

There are precious few rose grey males with Drambuie lines in North America. This young man is showing a very fine, very uniform, beautifully defined high frequency crimp. It is bright with very long staple length and at 3 1/2 months organizing into bundles. It really is amazing to see the evolution of his tui fleece as his secondary follicles emerge (see pix at right). We think that he is going to be a good one. We're thrilled that this breeding has been repeated for 2008.
We have him warming up in the "juvie bullpen" as a complimentary breeder to Guns n Roses. He is "spotless" in his blanket and his fiber is the typical very high frequency "vicuna" type described by Julie Skinner in her "Making of Champions, part 2". It is very lustrous and even finer than the 17 micron that Guns n Roses showed at the same age. The New Years photo, 2008 shows fis incredible length at just 6 months.His color is solid rose grey.
He'll be practising his moves until show season in spring!
