Comments: Talisker’s dam is Xanadu Althea, CC @ Nationals & Judge's Choice at GWAS. Althea is also Xanadu Aristide’s full sister.

Sire: Snowmass Lover's Spartan

Dam: Xanadu P Allure [White]
   [PC Running Late daughter/[Barnabus granddaughter]

Spartan continues to surprise with his fleece density & architecture and his color genetic range. Glitter started out as a cream color with MSG spots on her shoulder and hip. She's now turning a solid grey [non-roan] down her neck & topline like Picotani. We think she’s also picked up unique color genetics from Running Late. 1st Place Rose Rock Show & A-OK Blastoff. and Reserve Champion A-OK Blastoff.
