Altair's Vito

Vito has a fine bright fleece, butter soft with crimp from his nose to his toes.  He has magnificent coverage and a density that is really remarkable. He has stunning conformation and a gorgeous, type-y head. He is a scrumptious old thing, still turning heads whereever he goes.  He is also just about the sweetest guy you are ever going to meet. 

Vito uniformly throws his density and well organized lock structure.  We have a rainbow of colors in Vito offspring - he tends to throw the dam's color although not in every case and he throws that teddy bear head about 50% of the time.  All of the offspring I have seen have his very correct conformation and "nose to toes" fleece coverage and...well...we just have an awful lot of satisfied customers.

We have several Vito offspring for sale.  Five young females and one young male. Please visit our Sales List for information on his offspring.
