        "Sapphy" is my favorite Sheba daughter yet. She is exceptionally sharp in the withers and smoothly blended through her front end and shoulders. She has a beautifully level topline. She is very wide in the escutcheon, and has exellent rear leg angulation. As a dry doe, Sapphy placed 2X 1st, 1X 3rd, 1X 4th, and in her final show of the 2010 season, placed 1st and Junior Champion, earning her dry leg! Sapphy has freshened with a mammary that I would consider essentially flawless, with a high and arched rear udder, a fore udder well extended and blended beautifully into the abdomen, and teats which have ideal size and placement.  Smaller in overall scale than her half sisters Callie and Maritsa, Sapphy has been a bit in their shadow in the showring, perhaps as a result. Shown twice this season, she placed 1X 3rd right behind Callie and Maritsa at Southern VT,  then 1st, placing ahead of Maritsa in the final show of the season, edging her out on the basis of mammary. Sapphy peaked at 12 lbs. in her first lactation! Her 2011 son, Sawyer, is junior herd sire in the Breezy Way herd in PA, and her daughter, Sorrell, who was Junior Champion at Southern VT in June, remains in the herd. Sapphy's breeding to Bruno is a line breeding on GCH Rose of Sharon, and one that we plan to repeat.
