With a pedigree that could knock off anyone's socks, LMFI Peruvian Black Midnight has the fleece to match!
His dam is Libby's famous 16-time champion black female champion LMFI Peruvian Black Pearl. His sire is MFI Peruvian Jericho, sire of the famous Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah. Jericho's offspring have won over 420 ribbons and over 120 championships and Jeremiah is just one of them.
Black Midnight has a highly-advanced black fleece with excellent density and outstanding fleece character. The only problem with Black Midnight is that he hates to show. At his first show, he surprised us by dragging his back leg as soon as he entered the show ring. In spite of that he earned third place at the Futurity because of his outstanding fleece. After the class, he trotted happily back to his pen, his leg just fine! At his second show, he continued the same antics, only this time dragging his other back foot and again, he was fine after the class. At his third show, he abandoned the leg-dragging tactic and instead chose the tactic of falling over in the show ring. In spite of this behavior, he won the Black Male Reserve Color Championship. At his fourth show, he decided that jumping straight up into the air and landing on his back would be great fun... and in spite of that won Black Male Reserve Color Champion again.
His show antics do not take away from the fact that he has an incredible black fleece and excellent conformation. With his advanced fleece and his outstanding pedigree, we expect some absolutely incredible offspring. While we may not be able to show him very much, we do plan to make him a BIG part of our black breeding program! |
