TAG PERUVIAN BELLAGIO

TAG PERUVIAN BELLAGIO

TAG Peruvian Bellagio is one our great young Studs! He is a mix of two of the best fawn genetic lines in the country! His sire is Marathon, an EIGHT TIME HALTER CHAMPION. FULL ACCOYO MEDIUM FAWN! Marathon is one of a kind - this full Accoyo medium fawn male has "a next generation elite fleece," perfect head, bite and conformation. His fleece has a very high-amplitude crimp, is extremely bright, and well-bundled, with a long-staple length. Genetically, he is a fusion of Accoyo sires Caligula, Camilio and Auzengate (Australia). He has placed as Reserve or Color Champion in the first 8 out of 10 shows in his career, with 4 of the banners earned as a juvenile, all with blue ribbon wins.


Bellagio's Dam is Blaithin, a gorgeous light fawn Jericho daughter who's maintained incredible fineness through her fifth fleece. Blaithin also carries PPPeruvian Augusto and PPeruvian Leon in her pedigree! We are choosing to limit Bellagio's breedings to only 5 outside breedings per year!
