We'll have to admit, of all of his wins (including AOBA Champion and multiple Judges' Choice), this is THE WIN we are most proud of. Here's why...

Ringo's 2012 MAPACA Color Champion fleece (judged by no less than Ursula Munro) was the one he was wearing when he won Fawn Male Color Champion at the 2011 AOBA National Show (under Mike Safely).

MAPACA was an especially big win for Ringo as he had to beat the Color Champion Fawn Fleece, also from 2011 AOBA National's (our RR Rose Fiona --- and anyone who has seen Fiona's fleece, knows how amazing it is).  In fact, at 4 years of age, Fiona was the Color Champion Fawn female at 2012 MAPACA.

Dig this though - Fiona's first offspring (A.L. Paca's Papillon Galaxy) was in the front line competing against her mom Fiona for the MAPACA Color Championship.  The Reserve Fawn Female Color Champion though, was awarded to another one of our Sheer Galaxy daughters (Sheer Bliss).  There's no shame in getting a beat down by Sheer Bliss though.

I know, lots of trivia, but hopefully some fairly interesting stuff.

Jude Anderson). The Color Champion was our A.L. Paca's Centaurus Galaxy.  Ringo, please take our advice --- you need to keep looking over your shoulder to see if Sheer Galaxy offspring are closing the distance.
