BMF Taos' Zeppelin D.O.B.: 6/5/2008 ARI# : 20005252 Color: Bay Black Sire: Legacy's PHA Peruvian Taos; a pehenomenal white Legacy son of a Moustachio dam. Dam: Whitepine Midnight's Isabella; a MF with a super fine champion fleece, her father is true black.
BMF Taos' Zeppelin is a Full Peruvian, bay black, 3/8 Accoyo, Legacy grandson. But we don't select based upon country of origin. We selected him for his amazing qualities. You simply cannot find another black male with his lustrous dense crimpy locks; his fineness, uniformity, and fleece weight.
While he color checks as bay black, Zeppelin also has some silver fibers in his neck; he may have modern grey tendencies. His color stems from his maternal grandfather, a true black. Zeppelin's dad, Taos, a stunning white Legacy son from a Moustachio dam, currently has a 22.9 AFD at 7 yrs. Zeppelin's mom, a dark fawn champion in fleece, tested at 21.3 AFD at 7 years. Zeppelin also offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone. His high amplitude crimp and dense lock structure are unmatched in dark - his staple length is extreme. His offspring are arriving this year and they are beautiful. Most notably, they show his exciting luster and character, along with his presence and correct conformation. So far they range from true black to beige, and next year his first cria from grey dams will arrive as well. But it's the quality we are looking for - and receiving.
