I am not sure why Ian named her Pretzel. It is one of his favorite snacks, so perhaps he was hungry, but never-the-less, it stuck, and she has become one of our favorites. She is very easy going and happy to be in the presence of people, enjoying a scratch or two whenever we happen to be near by.
Pretzel is actually out of a suri line, a huacaya out of 2 suris. Her grandsire is Torbio, a legendary suri. She is that beautiful maroon, the color that all but guarantees colored cria offspring. Her conformation and bite are perfect, but she is an "easy keeper" carrying a little bit of extra weight.
We have chosen to really improve upon Pretzel's fleece characteristics by breeding to an extremely fine fleeced male who at age 7 still has retained incredible fineness. DF Peruvian Rico Suave is a superior male with fiber stats that would make a cria envious. His AFD at age 7 is 17.1 (At Age 7, Rico's histogram-- AFD 17.1, SD 3.3, CV 19.3, <30 0.4%).
