The birth of Pepper Dot was greatly anticipated, hoping for a beautiful modern grey suri. We were blessed with not only a female, but one that was destined to turn a beautiful dark rose or dark silver grey. It has been fun to watch as each week her fleece would grow out darker and darker, as did her sire's and her dam's. She will be an beautiful dark silver grey when she is shorn this year, with stunning appaloosa "dots" remaining on her face, legs, and under tail areas.
Pepper Dot has an amazing friendly personality and likes attention. She is the first to greet you, and is very curious. She has been a favorite on the farm and at the shows because of her heartwarming charm.
Pepper Dot's dam, Patches, is a 3X Fleece Champion at the largest suri shows in the country, and was even awarded 1st Place at the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show. She produces a uniform grey fleece with notable fineness and consistency. The color is a beautiful bronzed silver grey, and is gorgeous when spun into yarn. Patches is a smaller female, weighing only 125 lb in good condition. However, she births easily, has lots of milk, is a great mother, and truly a treasured foundation dam for Wild Rose.
Her sire, WRSR Peruvian Coalossus, has a beautiful drapey, slick high luster fleece, and has darkened each shearing until he is now a uniform dark silver gray color. He has a beautiful suri phenotype head and great proportions of the neck, back, and legs. His fiber has very uniform locks that drape beautifully, even on the regrowth. It has a wonderful hand, and lays close to the body. Afraid of loftiness? Coalossus' fleece is "teflon" slick - it easily shed debris and dirt, even crumpled leaves, hay, and grass.Coalossus has done well in the show ring, always placing in the top 3. His 2012 Suri Network All Sure Spin-off entry won 1st place and a score of 94 points!
Congratulations to George and Judy Dick from Walnut Knoll Farm on their purchase of Pepper Dot! They fell in love with her the first time they saw her!
