Whoa, we cannot say enough about the prepotency of this tremendous male. His sire is Accoyo America Polar Storm and is one of the few working males in this country by the legendary Accoyo America Polaris. Everything about Polar Shadow spells ELITE. He is consistently in the top 1% EPDs, and that's no accident; the power of these genetics to produce dense, true to type offspring is near unsurpassed in the industry. Polar Shadow is not open to outside breedings. He is listed here for reference and we invite you to look at our listings for his offspring which are offered for sale.
