He was inbred to the mare African Maid, being out of a daughter of that mare who was bred to a grandson of that mare.
Behind Condo's entire pedigree we see many crosses to the full brothers, Penrod and Allen King.
Going back further, there are many crosses to the mare Daisy.
Condo's dam has two crosses to that grand producing mare, Liza Jane, who founded her own dynasty.
Also appearing many times is the good sire, Knox Morgan.
The sire line is different, as Brunk used the Gov't stallion Tiffany. However, behind Tiffany, there are many crosses to Ethan Allen, some through Daniel Lambert and some General Gates. Ethan Allen is also found behind the Brunk bred Morgans.
The Old Vermont High Percent mares behind Tiffany go back to the same forebears as the Old Vermont High Percent mares behind the rest of the Brunk pedigree.
The Brunk family were masters at excellent close breeding.
Foaled in April of 1951, Condo was bred by the J C Brunk son, J R Brunk.
In April of 1953, he was sold to the Mosher Bros. of Utah.
They were breeding working ranch Morgans that needed to be stout enough to carry them and do a day's work.
There is a good working photo of Condo at the above link as well as further information.
Sept. 1, 1965, saw his transfer from the Mosher Bros. to Hunewill Ranch of eastern California and western Nevada.
Sire of 157 registered get in Utah, Colorado, and California.
He comes down to today through many lines.
He is still sought after today for his excellent breed type, laid-back shoulder with an excellent Pillar of Support and Neck Emergence, his good correct legs with plenty of bone, and his wonder long & correct hind quarters.
