With her 2018 cria
Huacaya, Female, Proven | Light Fawn
We are so excited to add Shiver to our foundation herd! How the purchase came about is a bit of a fun story. I had seen several of Shiver's blankets from our friends at Snow Diamond and it was so stunning that I had to investigate her genetics further. From the peachy/grey cast to her fiber, I suspected that she had a significant grey background and I was right! I inquired about her with her new owner, June Aploks at Starshire Ranch, and we decided to pull the trigger on purchasing her when June announced she was retiring. Shiver is due with a SilverLegacy cria any day now and we can't wait to see what that genetic combo produces. She is such a versatile female when it comes to her color production, that we are absolutely ecstatic to see what she can produce for us in the years to come.From Starshire Ranch: Shiver sports a low-micron fleece with beautiful architecture and long staple with a soft handle. She is an elegant female with style and presence. Born in the snow in early February, Shiver was given an apropos barn name that stayed with her.Shiver is a light-fawn female with a colorful pedigree, including a boatload of notable grey genetics, such as her sire Pull the Trigger, an Aussie .38 Special son, and her maternal grandsire MR Roosevelt.Snow Diamond first paired Shiver with 8X Champion Johnny Cash, a true-black son of CCNF Man in Black and they produced a knock-out black. Shiver also has produced a very nice light-fawn Gear Jammer son/Shiftin Gears grandson and a medium fawn son by Perfect Storm, a Defiance son.
