Merrimac's Tess

| AOA# 30678323 | Dark Brown |

Accoyo bloodlines from her sire, Australian bloodlines from her dam, deep rich color, lovely solid compact conformation and the cutest face ever – that’s Tess!
We acquired Tess’s mom, an older Australian Import when she was at least 14 years old. Even at her “mature” age, Inca King Tux carried herself with dignity and presence on a balanced frame and she retained a fine, bright blue black fleece with classic white tuxedo markings. Although she hadn’t been bred in over 7 years, “Oreo” got pregnant easily and birthed Tess with no problem. Unfortunately, we lost Oreo when Tess was 3 months old. Oreo was such a great mom that Tess was already over 60 pounds and thriving. It’s always hard to lose a dam, especially when she has a young cria but Tess was very independent and the other moms kept an eye on her so she thrived.

Like her dam, Tess is easily handled and has a calm temperament. Like her dam, she also has been easy to breed, gives birth easily and is a very attentive mother with rich milk for her babies. To date, she has birthed 2 lovely females cria. Although different in color, both girls have excellent structure with heavy bone on their very straight legs, deep chest on a compact frame,soft, crimpy, lovely fleece and easy dispositions.

Tess has been on the sales list as bred to SCF Black Ryder, a multiple color champion black male. Her newest cria, Sahara Rose (light rose gray) is the product of that pairing and she is so lovely we have decided to keep her.

Tess's sale price includes a breeding for her and to tell the truth, we weren't going to rebreed her until she sold but Tess was pretty insistent (if you know what we mean...) and Sahara is soo beautiful that we went ahead and rebred her to Black Ryder. So I guess that Tess's lucky buyer can get a "Sahara Rose" of their own AND we'll throw in another breeding to any herdsire here at Merrimac. This breeding can be used on Tess or, is transferable to any female in buyers herd. Buyers choice.

Such a little beauty! Sahara Rose has got beautiful heavy bones, good conformation, presence and her fleece has density, a wonderful buttery handle and excellent crimp from skin to tip. No doubt her gorgeousness is the result of the great genetics in her background including Caligula from her color champion sire and Yupanqui and Alladin from her dam.
We've registered Sahara as a light fawn but the consensus around here is that she could develop into a very light rose gray. No matter what color she ends up, Sahara Rose will add tremendous value to your herd.
Sahara is not only beautiful to look at but she is very calm and is easily handled. We owned her grandmother and her mother, Tess. Both have been easy to breed, birth healthy babies and wonderful mothers to their cria. We expect Sahara will do the same.

Our hope is that whoever has the smarts to buy her will put her into some shows. After that, breed her and add value to your herd.
