Description

Duchess Ruffo represents the best of what we imported from Australia.  She has fine, dense fleece with excellent architecture, robust bone structure, and a beautiful classic head with a muzzle that can "really move some air" (Wade Gease quote). This rare Ruffo daughter is out of Waltzing Matilda, who was lost in the import process due to stress ulcers. She is bred to our full Nautilus brother, Accoyo America Hemingway's Himalaya and we are expecting a spectacular cria from this one-of-a-kind cross.  You might also consider her full sister, Pinaroo Farm Billabong Beauty (also in the auction), carrying the same breeding with a due date of a9/16/14.  When AOBA judge Wade Gease evaluated our herd, he judged these dams to be virtually identicle and superb.
