Huacaya, Female, Proven | Medium Silver Grey, Dark Silver Grey
Zurich is just one of those girls you think is special just looking at her. She is a gorgeous color and has a special story and place in her prior owner's heart partly due to the TLC that she needed early on. We feel fortunate to have added her to our foundation. For her first breeding we decided to take a gamble on color and bred her to our dark fawn guy BOA's Aslan. Something in their faces and stature just spoke to me as being a good pairing. I was pretty certain when seeing the two together regardless of outcome of color we should be happy with the results. Aslan has great coverage, loaded with fleece & tons of crimp with a nice handle. She had a confirmed pregnancy with just one breeding and effortlessly delivered a beautiful girl. Lets say that girl they produced isn't going anywhere! Her fleece just keeps coming in bright and beautiful -soo crimpy it springs! Zurich has been a good mother and holding her weight, etc. She had a fabulous fleeced male by Dancing Elk's Romeo that was highly commended by fleece judges. She then birthed a beautiful silver grey male by the fine fleeced 4-Sight's Crawford. His coverage is phenomenal and he is as cute as they come. Zurich was bred to Granite Bay's Blue Silver hoping for a 2024 cria but unfortunately she was carrying twins and didn't retain them long enough. We recently tried the pairing again August 2025 and will wait and see if she appears pregnant.
