ANDACAL'S GUINEVERE

Duke is loaded with championship genetics. All 4 of his grandparents are banner winners. The championships include the most prestigious halter shows, Nationals and The Futurity. It was not possible for his sire and dam to be shown and that was unfortunate because they are excellent examples of the Suri phenotype with excellent fleece characteristics. So, let's talk about the sires and dams of Duke's sire and dam. That discussion will show you why it was unfortunate that Duke's sire and dam weren't shown. The sire is RKR Trigger Tripper. Trigger's sire is the recently deceased SBS Crown Prince and Prince was a prepotent herdsire that had 15 Get of Sire wins to his name. Crown Prince was a Crown Royale son and he won two banners at Nationals, won one banner at The Futurity, and won 5 halter show banners overall. He had excellent EPDs and he passed an excellent lock structure on to his offspring. Trigger's dam is a two time banner winner SPAR's MacCluster's Ginger Mist. Ginger Mist's dam is SPAR's Torbio's Magdalena who also produced a National's Judge's Choice Suri Female in SPAR's Vicki's Sweetie Pea. So, Duke's sire Trigger is loaded with champion genetics and those genetics have produced an exceptional fleece. Trigger's fleece has a great lock structure, outstanding luster, and superior fineness as he has maintained a grade 1 fleece through the age of 5 years. The dam is RKR Agate. Agate's sire is MacGyver's Armed & Dangerous. Armed & Dangerous has won numerous accolades not only in halter shows, but in fleece shows and also for his progeny. He has won 5 Get of Sire Championships. In fleece shows he has won a Judge's Choice and a Best Handle. On top of that, not only did he win halter show banners at Nationals and The Futurity, he was the color champion at both of those shows. He won 6 halter show banners overall. Armed & Dangerous like Crown Prince above has prepotent genetics that include great fleece characteristics. Agate's dam Rose Quartz Cloud is a light rose grey female that was only shown once, but it was a big one as she won the color championship at Nationals. So, another national championship is found in Duke's pedigree. So, Duke has all of those great championship genetics in his pedigree. Those genetics show because Duke is a quality Suri. He is a Suri with great conformation, great coverage including a good Suri head style, and exceptional fleece characteristics. He is a Top 10% male in regards to EPD rankings. He has good EPD rankings based upon his 2019 shearing sample and those EPDs can be checked by clicking on the link. His mean staple length EPD is not very good, but on his histogram he had 8.8 inches of staple length in 10 months of growth. We plan to use him on a few females over time and see what he can do as a herdsire. Keep an eye out for his crias and if you like what you see, contact us about adding him to your herd.
