AdA Mariposa's Elusive Butterfly   

White, 838695, 7/8 Peruvian

"Lucy" is a wonderful female. She exhibits head-to-toe, crimpy, bright fleece, dense, with soft, smooth hand. She has a wonderful head, with dark pigment around the lips, nostrils and eyes, (looks like her sire); she passes on these characteristics to her crias; she is very correct conformationally.

Lucy is 1/2 Accoyo, 7/8 Peruvian. She carries the Accoyo lines of Caligula, Auzengate (who has been recognized as an "impact herdsire" in Australia and whose genetics are coveted in the U.S. for their rarity and quality) and El Rey.
