It was February when the Doorman son Darlingo was classified EX-92, and with that overtook the status as Germany’s highest classified sire. Four weeks later, his dam DH Gold Chip Darling upheld her EX-96 status three months after her seventh calving, a score which she first achieved in the previous lactation. As such, it is hardly a surprise that Darlingo is primarily defined by conformation. Since the April evaluations we know that the impressive branch from the Dellias passes his strong inheritance to his daughters. Darlingo is and remains Germany’s best and most conspicuous conformation sire and evokes emotion with his very own story.
