Proven in the Ring. Proven in the Fleece. Now Proven Through His Offspring.
Good Trouble of Pines Edge is the kind of herdsire we strive to build our breeding program around—a male with exceptional True Black genetics, a highly successful show career, outstanding fleece credentials, and now perhaps the most important accomplishment of all: his offspring are proving his ability to reproduce quality.
Good Trouble has progressed from an AOA National 1st Place juvenile and Walking Fleece Color Champion to a mature male earning multiple 1st Place awards—and now to a back-to-back Get of Sire winner in 2025 and 2026.
For breeders considering an outside breeding, that progression matters.
You are not simply breeding to potential.
You are breeding to proven production.
Powerful True Black Genetics
Good Trouble's pedigree combines some of the most influential genetics in the Suri breed.
His sire, MMALP Goldstar's Vader, brings the tremendous influence of Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar together with Stone Brook's Midnight Lockdown and Cinders from Ricochet Ranch.
His dam, GLR Alley Cat, adds another exceptional layer of genetics through GLR Ali, Shavano, MacGyver's Armed & Dangerous, DDF Peruvian MacGyver, and other influential Suri bloodlines.
Further into his pedigree are names including Our Accoyo Peruvian Rockstar, Accoyo Jackpot, Peruvian Torbio, Peruvian Uribe, and Sierra Bonita's MacGyver's Synergy.
The result is a True Black male with generations of elite genetics behind him and tremendous possibilities for breeders working to advance quality colored Suris.
A Show Record That Demonstrates the Complete Male
Good Trouble's accomplishments span halter, walking fleece, and fleece competition, demonstrating that his quality extends well beyond a single area of evaluation.
From Show Champion to Proven Herdsire
Winning with an individual animal is exciting.
Producing offspring that win together is something entirely different.
Good Trouble's back-to-back 1st Place Get of Sire wins in 2025 and 2026 are among the accomplishments we value most.
Get of Sire competition evaluates a group of offspring by the same sire. The emphasis shifts away from the individual male and toward his ability to consistently transmit desirable qualities to the next generation.
That is the ultimate goal of a herdsire.
Good Trouble is no longer simply a highly decorated True Black male with an impressive pedigree. His offspring are now providing evidence that the qualities we saw in him can carry forward into the next generation.
