3-time Champion A.L. Paca's Copper Top

Sire: our 9-time AOBA color champion and 9-time Get-of-Sire winner Simba of A.L. Paca's.

Dam: Grey Fox Peruvian Vixen (Dark Fawn) a Peruvian Hemingway granddaughter.

Copper Top is our first Simba cria and what a surprise he was.  His dam had never
before produced a show quality cria so when we bred her to Simba, we were simply
hoping for an improvement over her previous production.  During delivery, when this
cria's head and neck were first being presented, we could see tight curls everywhere
underneath the membrane.  Never before have we observed so much crimp on a
newborn. We knew we had something unusually special going on here and began
covering our best production females with Simba for even better get during 2006.
