AGS Show Record: 4 x GCH Jr, 4 x RsCH Senior, 3 x GCH Senior, 3 x Best Udder in Show ADGA Show Record: 3 x GCH Senior Doe, 2 x Best Udder of Breed, 1 x Best Doe in Show at 10 years old!
Dahlia is a stylish and very dairy doe with an exceptional mammary system, and finished her AGS championship in her first show season with us in some very stiff competition. She handily finished her ADGA championship by going grand under both judges at the Fort Worth Stock Show in January 2008, as a 9 year old. Her udder remains very capacious, high and wide with the same smooth attachment and smooth foreudder that she had as a young doe. Her feet and legs as well would be impressive on a much younger animal.
As a 4th freshening 5-year old she produced 4.3 pounds of 4.48% BF milk on a one-day test, easily earning her AGS star, and in November 2007, as a 9 year old, she did 3.6 pounds of 6.4% BF milk, earning her ADGA star as well.
In spring of 2009, at 10- 1/2 years of age, Dahlia was linear appraised for the first time and scored a 92!
In April of 2010 at 11-1/2 years old she produced a lovely litter of quad bucks, including Edge of Night who is staying here as a herdsire. Dahlia illustrates the longevity and productivity we strive for in a dairy animal.
In 2010 Dahlia earned a Superior Genetics award through ADGA. This means she was in the top 15% PTI ranking for her breed based on USDA genetic evaluations.
Dahlia has produced some nice daughters including our own MCH/GCH Obsidian Bay and a full sister to Obsidian, Nor'easter, in the Dragonfly herd. Both of these does have linear appraised Excellent.
