SGCH Spinning Spider APD Cassandra Cassandra  

    

Cassandra exemplifies the type of Saanen doe we breed for.  She's sharp, angular and naturally uphill with smooth shoulders and a deep brisket.  She's also deep bodied and beautifully proportioned.  She's 7 years old and we love the way her udder hasn't shifted a bit over the course of her 6 lactations.

Chantal is our rising star.  Appraising 92EEEE in 2011 as a three year old second freshener, we feel she has the potential to surpass Cassandra. This is no surprise as her dam, Chloe, is a paternal half sister to Cassandra with similar dam lines.  Along with her lovely style and conformation is a tremendous will to milk even with a challenging show schedule.   She's the total package we're breeding for at Spinning Spider.

Halelujah is one of Cullen's favorites.  We love her general appearance.  While she's not an extremely tall doe, her smoothness of blending particularly in the front end assembly is exceptional.  She also has a lovely udder, especially well attached and high in the rear.  This is a trait she consistently passes onto her daughters.

Praise is our first Halelujah daughter and is very similar to her dam.  Her udder has the same height and strength of overall attachment she carries the same lovely general appearance of Halelujah.  If there's one area of the scorecard in which she excells her mother it's in body capacity, particularly in her depth of rear barrel. She in turn has produced lovely sons and daughters with the same style and strength that she has shown us.

SGCH Jug-Tavern's D. Edelweiss

 

Edelweiss was purchased as a kid from Will Pearson's fine Saanen herd.  As a yearling she stood second in her milking class with first place udder at the 2010 ADGA national show.  Her udder has continued to improve as she's aged into a beautiful doe.  She's a long, powerful yet elegant doe showing great promise.
