view above by Cheryle Moore-Smith. I have always particularly
liked this doe's dam, Treasure,
who was RGCH on 5 occasions, and twice GCH. Sadly Treasure was
lost to cancer recently. Andi is an absolute love, and a beauty
as well. With that mark on her muzzle, she looks like she belongs
in a "Got milk?" ad. That's appropriate, as she is a
pleasure to milk with terrific teats.Thanks again, Kellye!
When
Andromeda kidded her first time with beautiful twin does, of course
I had no idea that her next kidding would be 2 years later, nor
that it would be a horrific C-section with no live kids--so I
sold both of her kids. After her mishap I feared I would not be
able to get any kids from her to keep, so I approached the owners
of her 2006 kids. I was not able to recover Starstruck, who was
originally my keeper, but Seriphus
has returned and will be a 4 year old first freshener in 2010.
Fortunately we now also have her gorgeous daughter from 2009,
Nimue.
A word about
the name: I love this one. Andromeda was an Ethiopian princess
rescued from a sea monster by Perseus, who then married her. Also
it is a well known constellation--perfect for my dark, starry
girl.
