AutumnSun's Blissful Burgundy

Bliss has the color, fineness, uniformity and well grown frame in excellent confirmation of a fantastic foundation dam. She has taken after her dam and at 2 years old had become a rose grey with consistent white fibers throughout her blanket. She already had white fibers when we were showing her as a yearling, which is why we chose Bred & Owned, where darks, greys, and ID are grouped together.

At her first show, as a yearling with 4 months of fiber growth, Bliss was described by Peter Kennedy as balanced, with good uniformity in micron and expression of organization throughout the staple and across the blanket, with a lovely handle.

Bliss was an excellent mom to her first cria, a modern rise grey male by Red Granite's Mr. Ben Franklin, our Ragnarok who is approaching his breeding career start.

She continued to be an excellent dam to her modern rose grey girl Serenity by our multiple champion with lasting fineness, Smokejumper! Serenity got a lot of admiring looks in her show career and now has joined our breeding program and a foundation girl to carry on both Bliss' and our Jumper's fantastic fiber genetics as he has passed early from an accident. Serenity's first cria is a beautiful girl that shows more inclination towards neo-classic grey with her white face. Serenity is a proven dam of two excellent crias!

Her next modern dark rose grey girl was by our multiple champion Dauntless may have been her best cria to date! Serendipity is our youngest son's first dam, so we look forward to her own fantastic crias! She is being bred for modern grey! Serendipity's first cria made our list of our top crias that year!

Another beautiful girl from Bliss in 2021! This one a LF (LF +WH, but there is no such thing as a fawn grey ;) ) from our multiple champion Truthsayer. Though, her fleece wasn't the modern rose grey we had come to expect from Bliss, it is wonderful in fiber characteristics. Clair is one that should be able to breed back into a grey program.
