Snow Diamond Miss Toffelees Snow Diamond Miss ToffeleesHuacayaFemaleWhite AOA# DOB: 7/30/20195 yrs Miss Toffelees is the first offspring sired by Snow Diamond Private Reserve, one of Defiance's exceptional sons. MissToffelees' dam is TAG Miss Monday, a lovely female from champion parents and whose great great sire is Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah.
