Harlequinn genetics

Dillinger's Genesis

From the Hannahruh lineage, Genny has as great potential to produce grey or spotting. She has proven herself to be an excellent mom and produces beautiful fiber on her crias.

Her first cria by Orionn was a white / spotted male that had fantastic fiber. Due to lack of documentation when we bought him at her side, we never were able to show him, but can attest that his fiber stayed fine, shiny, and crimpy well into his maturity as he produced fiber for our farm.

Genny's next cria, when bred back to Orionn, was a fantastic color copy of her, as she pushed dark coloration over the service sire's white! This male, Spindrifter, went on to be a herdsire at another farm.

Running with her propensity to produce dark coloration, we pushed her genetics with our black male, Dark Secret, and Genesis produced a very nice black female! We are keeping Gin Fizz in our black program / grey program.

Lately, we have returned to her grey / harlequin heritage and have bred her to our oh-so-silky-soft-and-fine herdsire, Truthsayer. We are actually hoping for a modern grey (though he has the white spot gene, as expressed in his white on his face and feet).

Genny is on maternity watch as we wait with bated breath for what she will make this time!
