NFS Pictures of Lulu and Venezuela taken by Sassy Angoras Photography at Covington GA show this past Saturday.
Lulu is my favorite chocolate doe, she insists on head rubbings, and I love to pet her fur. I 🤎 her deep chocolate color. She holds finish and prime longer. She had 10 legs before the Aiken show, where she was BoB 3/4 times. She was BoV at Covington 3x. She has the most legs of any chocolate to date, only beaten by Dimi, a broken chocolate buck with 14. He also holds prime well. I’m trying to lock in the hold prime trait, and they balance one another in type, so I plan to pair the two soon. This hold prime trait comes from line breeding on Navarre and Decker foundation stock. A bonus trait I concentrated while testing for unwanted recessives. One side effect is that it also takes them longer to fully mature. So we have been showing and winning on 3rd and even 4th primes.
The orange Jersey Wooly senior doe is Venezuela, she was BoB 1x in Aiken and 1x in Covington, both under Don Sheets. I really like her super clean and intense color! She also has an easy care coat and lives outside in GA. Her heat tolerance and ability to hold condition is remarkable! This intense and vibrant color is what we are aiming for in our orange program. One judge commented she is closer to red than orange, but I disagree. Red is the most intense rufus, like on Thriantas.
Both are chocolate based does. 🤎🧡🤎 Deidre said Orange looks brighter on chocolate base than black. 🖤🧡🖤
I did not get pictures of the bruns… BK2 intermediate doe was BoB in the commercial show, and BoS 1x at Covington. Winter was BoB 1x her first weekend out, great type and body comments about her sister Summer, she just needs more silvering.
Hoping to recover a bit before going out to show again. This extended heat is tough on all of us.
