Update on Breed Assigning the New SM Othello

 Yo! This might be a bit of a shorter one, but I wanted to share something exciting. I mentioned in my last opinions post that I was very excited for the new SM Othello, being called a 'Belgian Cross' by Breyer, but I was a little concerned about finding him a fitting breed for showing; mainly my concern was having to make him a rather strange or unconvincing crossbred. However, no longer do I have to worry about that, thanks to my friend Lauren, who managed to find a purebred Shire that is flaxen chestnut and has pangare!

This is Thunders Flaming Spirit! As you can see, he does have a small amount of pangare, much less than the new mini Othello (and this guy's coat is much darker) but I expect using him as a reference will be more than sufficient if you want to show the new SM as a purebred Shire. Thanks Lauren!
