Gray breeders have commented that Truffles is a beautiful female with a beautiful fleece. Her fleece exhibits excellent character tail to ears-fineness, crimpy primaries, color, density, brightness, long staple, a soft handle & an absence visible guard hair. Yocum-McColl said that her fleece is a rare, true (pigmented) gray and very nice, long, fine and silky. Truffles' pedigree is consistent for maintaining phenotype, quality fleece & fineness beyond five years. She is a wonderful producing dam for us & has outstanding offspring no matter who we breed her to. She has had Top 10% EPDs in 2021-2024!
Her sire, Snowmass RRoyal Fox (2010 AOBA Gray Composite Champion), is from Snowmass' Royal Bronze and Casanova bloodlines. He's a full Peruvian with '98 imported true black and maroon granddams, so he's unrelated to all other gray bloodlines! Her paternal sister, Reyna (MSG @ 15.6 m), placed 1st at Alpacapalooza '12. They are Fox's two best gray daughters so far. Paternal Brother, Graphite - 1st Futurity 2012! Her 3/4 maternal sister is Carmelina, a Res. Champ. Her maternal brother is Constantino, is a Champion who won blue & purples for 5 years.
Truffles' dam was a multiple champion & blue ribbon producer. Her third fleece earned a blue ribbon winner over a Futurity champion male in 2000 (judge, Julie Skinner). She was the best daughter of P. Andrajo (Alianza sire of Mr. Roosevelt who sired Crescent Moon's Donato).
