🟣 AMOUR ANGUS — THE COMPLETE GROUP

Here they are pulled out so we can see the family more clearly.

This is the foundation of the huge Chapter Seven/Walner branch.

#2 Walner

Walner → Chapter Seven → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

#3 Captain Corey

Captain Corey → Luv U All → Angus Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

The pedigree shows Angus Hall as the sire of Luv U All and Amour Angus as Angus Hall's dam.

Long Tom → Ilia → Windsong's Legacy → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

The sale pedigree identifies Ilia as by Windsong's Legacy.

#12 Gimpanzee

Gimpanzee → Chapter Seven → Windsong's Legacy → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

#13 In Range

This one is another easy one to miss.

In Range → Ilia → Windsong's Legacy → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

#19 Trixton

A very interesting female-side Amour connection:

Trixton → Emilie Cas El → Amour Angus

Emilie Cas El was a full sister to Andover Hall, Conway Hall and Angus Hall, and her dam was Amour Angus.

This remains the monster double.

First Amour:

King Of The North
→ Walner
→ Chapter Seven
→ Conway Hall
→ AMOUR ANGUS

Second Amour:

King Of The North
→ Check Me Out
→ Donato Hanover
→ Andover Hall
→ AMOUR ANGUS

The full pedigree clearly shows both branches.

#36 Don't Let'em

Don't Let'em → Passageway → Angus Hall → AMOUR ANGUS.

The stallion listing gives his pedigree as Muscle Hill–Passageway–Angus Hall.

#41 TEMPORAL HANOVER — 🟣🔵

Amour side:

Temporal Hanover
→ Walner
→ Chapter Seven
→ Conway Hall
→ AMOUR ANGUS

Canne side:

Temporal Hanover

→ Canland Hall
→ CANNE ANGUS

The pedigree shows both.

#45 Southwind Chrome

Southwind Chrome → Chapter Seven → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

#48 Enterprise

Enterprise → Chapter Seven → Conway Hall → AMOUR ANGUS.

#49 Fiftydallarbill

This is another one where the connection is through Swan For All:

Fiftydallarbill → Swan For All → Andover Hall → AMOUR ANGUS

The Indiana stallion directory explicitly shows the Andover Hall/Amour Angus branch.

🔵 CANNE ANGUS — COMPLETE GROUP
#5 Father Patrick

Father Patrick → Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → CANNE ANGUS.

#7 Greenshoe

Greenshoe → Father Patrick → Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → CANNE ANGUS.

#16 Cantab Hall

#33 Wheeling N Dealin

Wheeling N Dealin → Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → CANNE ANGUS

#41 Temporal Hanover

Temporal Hanover → Think Twice → Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → CANNE ANGUS.

#47 Southwind Frank

This is a particularly nice one because it is not just the obvious Cantab Hall sire line:

Southwind Frank → Flawless Lindy → Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → CANNE ANGUS

The pedigree confirms the complete chain.

⭐ THE SPECIAL DOUBLE-UPS
🟣🔵 #7 GRENSHOE

AMOUR + CANNE

Andover Hall → Amour Angus

Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → Canne Angus

🟣🟣 #34 KING OF THE NORTH

AMOUR + AMOUR

Walner → Chapter Seven → Conway Hall → Amour

AND

Donato Hanover → Andover Hall → Amour

This is still the most striking one in the whole top 50.

🟣🔵 #41 TEMPORAL HANOVER

AMOUR + CANNE

Walner → Chapter Seven → Conway Hall → Amour

AND

Cantab Hall → Canland Hall → Canne

🏆 FINAL COUNT FROM THE CURRENT TOP 50

After removing Tactical Landing and using the current September 25 list:

🟣 Amour Angus: 20 stallions
🔵 Canne Angus: 10 stallions
🟣🔵 Both sisters: 2
Greenshoe
Temporal Hanover
🟣🟣 Amour twice: 1
King Of The North

So we have 29 individual stallions in the current U.S. top 50 carrying an Amour Angus or Canne Angus connection.

And 30 actual appearances when King Of The North's second Amour Angus is counted.
