Almost eight years old now, Beechcomber has cria on the ground and has passed on his beautifully architectured crimp style and density. He has let the color of the dam come through with one dk brown white face and socks, has had a "mini me" (and I do mean PERFECT replica of himself in a female variety) via a white dam, and has had a brown & white pinto out of a black dam w/ white markings. His newest is a dark fawn & white female out of the same colored dam. This is getting interesting! I think, unless breeding for patterns, I will keep his breedings to solid colored females.
My Beech boy is out of the Caligula line via his dam (a grandaughter) and out of Peruvian The Saint via his sire. The Saint is a gorgeous maroon, owned by the Pet Center, standing stud in California. Beechcomber's sire, Bojangles, is a brown multi award winner in Ohio. Think of the rich color possibility he should be able to produce!
He has a solid, muscular, large frame, a perfect bite, and his testicular development is very good. His fiber density and crimp structure are superb and there is very little guard hair. He may not be the finest of fleece any more, but his consistancy is just wonderful. The judges must agree..check his show record!
Breeding fee w/ dam in residence $750. CABO members, $200 discount. Mobile breeding fee, $500 (within 150 miles). Significant discount applies if packaged/purchased with bred female! Beech has two cria due in 2013.

OK, another surprise in the color category... however, he is healthy, straight and has absolutely fabulous bundling, crimpy fiber. With Peruvian Calig...
