Suri, Female, Proven | Dark Silver Grey
A Platinum Marquis Beauty - When Satin was born it was said that she appeared to be a slick black girl and after two weeks her top line started to show silver. After shearing more silver spots appeared on her neck and back hip area. We feel fortunate to own both her and her half-sister, Victoria. Their sire, Platinum Marquis was quite the multiple champion. Adding to that, her dam was a very lusterous fawn that had an AFD of 22.7 - SD of 5 at 5 years old! She also has Torbio in her lineage. We were pretty excited to purchase her thinking of her genetics and coloring for breeding potential.We sent Satin's fleece up for processing and had a really nice yield of yarn off her young, frame - really, pretty impressive amount and the color looked black with nice luster! Satin gave birth to her first cria with no assistance for either of them whatsoever. She had a very nice dark silver grey boy by Greystone's Marko. He looked so similar to her at birth but after sharing much more silver grey showed through. Satin's 2nd cria was from none other than "Sir Oliver Twist of WAP" Oliver took about 10 championships AND judges choices awards among his stellar show career! I think we reserved a breeding to him before he received a judges choice award. Oliver is loaded with locks and his conformation makes your heart pitter patter. We are very happy to have the beautiful, golden girl to add to our foundation. She took a 1st in her class at AOA Nationals in Nebraska.Satin bred with GLR Suton in 2020. He is a beautiful dense, black Cinder's boy with some grey color on his dam's side and Satin delivered a dark grey beauty! She looks to be one of our best silver greys yet. Satin has made us beyond thrilled!We just confirmed pregnancy by Descartes by The Admiral (Admiral was full brother to MMALP Goldstar's VADER an extremely dense, gorgeous Goldstar son) Descartes is a true black with a gorgeous head and silky fleece. This is his first breeding year so we are anxious to see what this pairing brings.We have had a few inquiries on Satin and unfortunately transportation made it cost prohibitive for the sale to go through - considering one was Ireland it is no wonder. Thankful this current pending sale plans to continue to board her here.
