This girl came out looked so dark grey you didn't initially notice her black front in a bolero jacket type pattern with her medium to silver grey body until she was dry. She looked so sleek & elegant. We couldn't quite settle on a name. That black Bolero jacket pattern helped us decide on the name "Bolero Giacca" Italian for bolero jacket. "Gia" for short, which the name means God is gracious. She was a spunky and fun little one that loved to run. As an adult she looks like she gives you "the ...

There are best laid plans, best guesses and then sometimes best surprises. This girl's dam is very uniquely marked, somewhat tuxedo grey but almost half black in front. We joked at what color her baby would be as to which half was more dominant. We would not have ever guessed this color - it is even a different rose grey color than her sire - the reddish hue is very striking. When she was born a whole lotta of Grazie's came out.

TWT Hawkeye's Dizzy Gillespie gets an absolute atta-boy for this one. I am totally smitten with her color and markings and it isn't a typical color I gravitate towards. Honestly the eye shadow with the lips, she is a walking makeup commercial. She has beautiful face coverage. Some more silver grey color is evident after shearing off a truly beautiful blanket.

We decided to try her at fall shows and she took a respectable 3rd and 5th place from the different judges. Both judges commended her conformation.

We had her fleece processed into sport-weight yarn instead of chunky and it turned out quite nice.
