I'm
a longtime admirer of Jurassic, and Snowbird's breeding is an
interesting combination of Jurassic, Willows and Twink's Pixie.
Her sire, Creek
Road Envoy, was a handsome buck owned by Stacy Brockett of
SM3Pines.
Snowbird's littermate brother, triple champion MCH/GCH/PGCH
SM3Pines JurEn's Swell Foop +B, is an accomplished and stunning
young buck, and her sister, MCH/GCH/PGCH
SM3Pines JurEn's Sugar Glider 2*M, has a list of accomplishments
too long to enumerate, including at least 6 x GCH, 4 x RGCH, and
2 x Best Udder. Both littermates are owned by Rusty Repp of Little
Tot's Estate. Her dam, sire, and many of her siblings can be seen
on the SM3Pines web site, here
and here.
Very similar in style to her beautiful dam, Snowbird has been
slow to mature, but I believe she is a doe built for the long
haul. I feel very lucky to have her here. She does hate to leave the farm and showing reduces her to a shivvering lump, so she has tended to stay home and raise her kids, which she does very well.
I lost Snowbird at age 13, after she delivered a huge post-mature doe kid at 152 days. She was such a sweetheart; I will really miss this one.
