I thought I would write a bit about our big old lady, Misty today. She was born as "
January Mist at Brentwood Hotel" on 17. 01. 2002. As a fifth generation Brentwood Hotel, she has lots of ancestors from my first texel litters, including
Andersen at Brentwood Hotel, the first ever texel born with me in 1997. Her pedigree includes two of my English imports,
Leon and
Jill. In an other line, she is the grand-grand-daughter of one of my very first cavies, "
Boston". Boston was the main reason why I was breeding silveragouti-particolours. Still, when I look at Misty, I feel very sorry that I had to give up this wonderful colour...
Anyway, through her son
Berlusconi at Brentwood Hotel, (who still lives with us, too) Misty lives on in many different lines around Europe. I also have several grand-grandchildren after him.
Long live the Queen! :o)
Photos taken today: over 6,5 and still going strong. Clipped to short, and living in an oldies' group. Our pride, Misty:
