Twin Creeks Brave Heart
++S DOB: 11/12/96 22 1/2" at 3+ years old. HES 90.0 Sire: Inavale All That Jazz (Inavale Opus x Goodwood Joni Mitchell) Dam: MCH/PGCH Raha Acres Twink's Pixie *D AGS 91.9 'E' |
| 2 x GCH, 3 x RsCH Brave Heart has passed on, but not before making a tremendous impact on our herd, continuing his dam's legacy by stamping his kids with her exceptional elegance and dairy character, as well as milking ability. At least six of his daughters to date have earned their milking stars , more than enough to earn their sire his "+S" award. Three of his offspring are finished champions, including his daughters, Phantom Bride *D and Mariri's Zinnia 4*D, who was the 2002 AGS National Champion, and his son Bay Watch *S who has proved himself as an outstanding herdsire with several finished champion offspring.

4 x GCH Junior Buck, 2 x RsCH Junior Buck, 1 x RSCH Buck, 3 x GCH Buck, 1 x Champion Challenge Winner Bay Watch is a powerful, masculine and very correct buck. He is angular and dairy, with a strong front end and wide rear leg set. While we are proud of Bay Watch's success in the show ring, we feel that the proof of a buck lies in his daughters, especially his milking daughters. Bay Watch has produced many offspring who have earned championships or reserves, including 9 (that we know of) who are now AGS Master Champions including Morning Lark, Grand Finale, Fantasea, Perfect Storm, Aragorn, Piddlin Acres Picachu, Giacamo and Shining Sand. His milking daughters are living up to our expectations, with tightly attached udders, good capacity and milkable teats, and three have now earned their milking stars to give Bay Watch his +S title. Click here to see some of them!
Update: Bay Watch is now a ++S buck, one of the few in the breed!

1 x RsCH Senior Buck, 4 x GCH Senior Buck, 2 x RsCH Buck, 3 x GCH Buck Sire of the 2003 AGS National CH Junior Doe and Best Junior Get of Sire! What an incredible 40th birthday present! One of my best friends and my husband planned for months to bring Weisy home to me, and I want to thank them and Audrey and Amy Kowalik of Lost Valley for parting with this gorgeous boy. His pedigree speaks for itself, representing some of the most influential animals in the breed. We are thrilled with his first kids here - they are very consistent in length of body, levelness of topline, width and correctness throughout, and lovely breed character. To see some of his beautiful offspring, click here.
Update: spring 2004 - Weisy just earned his "+", with 4 daughters having earned their milking stars!
Update 2005: Weisy now has 2 MCH daughters: Twin Creeks WB Talk About Me and Twin Creeks WB Meadowlark. Congrats to their owners!
Update: 3 more MCH offspring - MCH Hill Country's WB Chardonnay, MCH Twin Creeks WB Fanciful, and MCH Twin Creeks WB Sebastian Bach*S.
Update: All 4 of Weisy's offspring that we retained in our herd - 3 does and a buck - appraised excellent at our first ADGA Linear Appraisal!
As of early 2008, Weisy has 8 AGS Master Champion offspring!

2 x CH Jr Buck, 8 x RsCH Buck (earned 3 restricted legs), 2 x GCH Buck, 1 x Champion Challenge Winner 2004 and 2005 AGS Reserve National Champion Buck
Aragorn is his daddy all over again, but with a little more refinement and dairiness. He really exemplifies our goals of dairy character, milk production (his maternal granddam was #5 in AGS Top Ten for Milk Production in 2003) and general appearance, and has a sweet personality besides! See his lovely daughter, MCH Mithril Silver.

| Chocolate with small white
markings. I had the very good fortune to be able to borrow this young buck for a short period of time, and am very excited about his kids. Combining the bloodlines of 2002 National Champion and Best Udder Mariri's Zinnia with those of the 2005 National Champion, Eclipse, this buck is very dairy. |

Shadowfax is a very stylish, dairy buck with an especially wide and high escutcheon and clean lines. In 2007 Shadowfax earned his "+" buck designation, by siring 3 daughters who earned their milking stars in AGS. See his daughter, Fancy Free, who has earned her junior leg in both AGS and ADGA and was recently Best Junior Doe in Show over the big girls! Fancy Free freshened with a capacious udder with good MSL and very nice teat placement.

We have used him quite a bit and are thrilled that he is passing on his strong general appearance and dairy character consistently to his offspring.

ADGA Show Record: 1 x GCH Buck
Catamaran is linebred on ARMCH Luck of the Draw, one of the most influential sons of our 2 x National Champion Twink's Pixie. We sold Lucky as a baby, and in his lifetime he has had a profound influence on several herds, stamping his offspring with incredible style and gorgeous, productive mammary systems. Cat himself is powerfully built and very stylish, with a particularly nice rump and topline and wide, open rear leg set and escutcheon. His sister Feline Special freshened with a very nice udder - see her here. We sold Cat but retained a son Meteor Shower out of AGS National Champion Good Day Sunshine. |

Buck
Since Talk About Me (Gabby) hasn't given us a daughter to keep yet, we decided to keep this beautiful boy around to hopefully give us some Gabby granddaughters in the future! He's very balanced with nice feet and legs and good width throughout, just like his mama.

DOB: 08/28/05 23-1/2" at 2-1/2 years ADGA LA 2007: 91 (EEE) Sire: Piddlin Acres WB Viagra *S 'E' (MCH Goodwood Weisbaden +S E x MCH/CH Piddlin Acres Picachu *D) Dam: CH Piddlin Acres SC Bobby Sox (Piddlin
Acres Short Change *S x Piddlin Acres Symphony) |
AGS Show Record: 1 x RsCH Buck, 5 x GCH Buck ADGA Show Record: 4 x GCH Buck
Cas is a gorgeous buck, excelling in general appearance and dairy character, being long, level, having outstanding feet and legs, and wide-spaced flat ribbing. I admire his dam Bobby Sox more with every year that passes by. She shows wonderful balance in all areas of the scorecard, capping it off with an udder that is extremely high in the rear, well extended in the fore and plastered on. The bloodlines behind this boy are ones that have worked well for us in the past, bringing back in both Weisbaden and Bay Watch, who have been two of our most influential herd sires, and adding MCH Piddlin Acres Doe C Doe and MCH Piddlin Acres Diamond Deb. His kids are extremely consistent in general appearance with lots of stretch, fantastic front ends, rear ends and rumps.
See his daughters in our herd: Sea-Bright and Gossip Girl.
Cas has now gone to work in the Beau-jest herd.

New!
4-generation pedigree here. |
Sorry for the poor picture - he was in a bit of a temper over this picture taking session! His nice front end assembly is still evident tho. Pokemon is heavily line-bred on the Bay Watch and Brave Heart genetics, which have been so successful in our breeding program, combined with the tremendous mammary system of MCH/CH Picachu, who one judge commented had the finest mammary system he'd ever seen on a Nigerian. Pokemon is a powerhouse but feels much more dairy than he looks, with thin skin and nice ribbing, and I'm happy with his small size.
Pokemon is the sire of Morning After.

| ADGA Linear Appraisal 2009:
+EE FS84 (Good Plus)
I'm very excited about bringing in what I think will be a very potent outcross for my herd. There is a tremendous amount of milk in this pedigree, combined with show-proven general appearance, dairy character and mammary systems. His dam, Dizzy, was linear appraised this year at 87, with an "E" on mammary system. The Caesar's Villa lines have been crossing very well with the Twink's Pixie/Luck of the Draw line in the Dill's herd. Maverick is the sire of Sorcha and Silver Belle.

ADGA Linear Appraisal 2009: VEE FS88 (Very Good) ADGA Linear Appraisal 2010: +++ FS84 (Good Plus)
AGS Show Record: 3 x RsCH Buck ADGA Show Record: 1 x RsCH Buck I love the Goodwood lines and the Kowaliks of Lost Valley have combined those lines with other top lines to produce some really outstanding show and milking animals. Seminole's dam, Sundancer, has that long, stretchy "Goodwood" look, combined with a beautiful and productive mammary system with plumb, easily-milked teats. His sire, Tae-Boe, has multiple finished champion daughters. Seminole himself is very powerfully built with a near-ideal front end assembly, long, level topline, good width throughout from his chest to his high, wide open escutcheon, and great feet and legs. These traits are all evident in his offspring, many of which have earned junior legs, and some even Best in Shows as junior kids. Very happy with the udders we are seeing as well. Seminole is the sire of Wonder Witch, Abracadabra, Kissimmee, Isabella, Night Orchid, Snowbird, Misty Dawn and Sea the Stars. 06/18/2010 - We lost Seminole very unexpectedly to rumen acidosis. This is a huge loss to our breeding program but I'm very grateful that we have quite a few lovely daughters to carry on his genetics. |
