The day Applause was born, we were wowed! It was the first time we didn't say, "If he only had a little more this" or "a little more that." Applause was born a knock-out and he has not disappointed us. He has an incredible soft handle and loads of crimpy-to-the-end, dense fleece. Out of our foundation dam Heatherbrook's Masquerada and sired by Amanda Vanderbosh's legendary grey herdsire Bisturi (who is no longer in the country), Applause has the best of both! Bisturi's body style and lovely dense crimp style and Masquerada's fine, soft handle and strong color genetics. His body style is stout, big-boned, and solid. When he walks by, he makes a statement. He has a perfect bite and a head to die for. We cannot say enough about this young male to do him justice. At 8 years old, he still grabs the attention of every visitor on our ranch! Just today, one asked about him and said "I'll remember him!" We could not be more pleased with the cria this male is producing. He is predominately throwing gray, even when bred to other colors. We are also excited about the rich, dark silver color we are getting, passed down from his dam! We believe our success is in the success of our clients!!!
