Sire: CCNF Royal Ring of Fire, ARI# 851781  

Dam: Nova's Victoria, ARI# 851121  

Like many of his paternal siblings Man in Black is unmistakably a son of Champion Fawn Herdsire, CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. With the possible exceptions of Legacy Gold and Archangel no other male in Cas-Cad-Nac has been capable of stamping both their phenotype and fleece characteristics into their offspring with such amazing consistency as Ring of Fire.

What is not widely known however is that though Man In Black and his sire before him owe much to the genetic power of Snowmass Royal Rose (MiB's paternal grandsire) and Peruvian Hemingway (MiB's paternal great grandsire)they owe at least an equal debt to Ring of Fire's dynamic dam, 5Peruvian Margarita. It is from his paternal granddam that Man In Black so clearly inherited the head, heavy bone, and unmistakable presence. And that is still only part of the equation!

Then there is the matter of the silky black fleece that he inherited from his dam, Victoria. The same fleece qualities that made Victoria a multiple Champion have been passed on to Man In Black as well as his full sibling, Concordia currently on CCNF's show string.
