SL Cinnamon   

Light Brown, 845300, 1/4 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian

Cinnamon is a good sized production dam with medium bone.

Judge Kristin Buhrmann commented that it was only a degree of fineness that separated him from his blue-ribbon/reserve champion competitor. And while I can't argue that finess is a objective assessment, in my subjective opinion, Milo was certainly the best-looking in the ring.

This young male is a walking Kodak moment - with every stance he strikes an amazing pose. Milo has incredible presence and shows off a glorious fleece with lots of crimpy, crimpy bundles and an extremely soft handle. We're told his cria blanket alone was over 6 pounds. Just look at the leg coverage he boasts in his "rear
