Shambala (aka " Neo") * Shambala is a Tibetan Sanskrit word meaning "welcome to paradise."

Shambala will make significant contributions to our Whited Tummy program here. He has a very good profile, is brilliantly whited from his chest to the inner sides of his legs with good demarcation and has a lovely golden colour of coat which is quite clear and laden with nicely place rosettes. He has a good horizontal flow to his rosettes and no barring; he is a very long bodied boy and quite lanky at 5 1/2 months. At the base of his tail are small spots which go down almost half way; his legs are spotted as well. His face is lively with large eyes, white goggles and rich colour with sharp contrast. He has substantial whisker pads. He is lots of fun and has quite an inquisitive personality and is lively and affectionate. I really love this boy!

* 'Neo' is an Afican Tswana name meaning "gift" .

Neo's color is shown to be reddish in direct sunlight;his colour is accurately portrayed in the shade.
