AutumnSun's Isolde

Eirwen is the daughter of our multiple champion black herdsire, Dark Secret, who has sired many greys and black offspring (including out multiple champion Black Maelstrom). So, whereas we had hoped Eirwen would be black (as her dam has produced black before), we are still hopeful that Eirwen can produce black (with her dark lips and nose in evidence that she carries some dark genetics). Her first girl, Isolde, a dark fawn by Stradivarius, has lovely fiber but didn't make our show string as a juvenile (we run a small string) -- in favor of her MB cousin, Oraine, daughter of her dam's sister Danica. But as a yearling she will get to strut her stuff in the ring and we have high hopes. This year, she produced another DF girl, by our modern rose grey, Judge, that also has spectacular fiber. This girl, named Alys, suffered a cold at a couple of months old that has slowed her down, but we cannot help by admire her fiber how she looks like her sister otherwise. I wonder if we are brave enough to try Eirwen to Ultra, our classic MSG male, to see if she will produce a grey, or if we will play it safe with the solid colors since we know that she will produce color. Decisions, decisions.
