Qessence was a long time in the making. She is the first cria out of our Judge's Choice female Quintessential. The delivery was unassisted. Qessence was up and nursing within 30 minutes. Tightly organized dense fleece. That makes sense when you examine her skin folds throughout her neck, back, and belly. I could not find skin.
Genotype results indicate MC1R EE and ASIP a1a2 which means she does not carry dilution and has two black alleles.
Qessence is square with a large bone structure. She has a pleasing phenotype with full face coverage and a beard.
The lineage behind Qessence includes; Mr Alejandro, Blue Ridge Quintessential, S&L Peruvian Bandito, NPA Desiree, AVC AJ's Kodiak, Blue Ridge Peruvian McKenzi, SA Peruvian Black Epic, CR Peruvian Black Bonita, MSA Pint Noir, Beavercreek's Tiny, CPeruvian Axtion Jaxon, AVC 20th Century Fox, JLFA Millenium's Peruvian Ventura, Peruvian McKala RAL, Black Magic, Klassique Grey, Silvino, Black Echo, Nocturna, Vervena, Jaxon, Celine, Accoyo Mega Tron, Rana, Snowmass Millenium, Vacara of PVA, Kilyo of Star Hill, and DPA Mayflower.
