Jewel is the only white
out of 40 offspring sired by 5Peruvian Chinchero, a true
black herdsire imported from the Maychapampa herd in Peru. Her
dam, Marcela, is an outstanding white female who produced the famous grey herdsire Silver Dollar,
and the nationally respected fawn herdsire, Show Me the Money.
Jewel's maternal sister, Tierra, won a blue ribbon in the beige halter class at Estes Park in 1999. Tierra's first cria sold for $15,000 at only 2 months of age and went on to take a blue ribbon at the 2003 Great Western Alpaca Show in Denver. Tierra has also produced rose grey when bred to grey, just like their dam, Marcela. |

Dam, PPeruvian Marcela |
Jewel has full coverage, great
density and, according to show judge Mary Reed, "her handle is like
butter it's so soft". She is a fine foundation female with heavy bone,
excellent conformation, perfect teeth and a sweet disposition. In her
first year Jewel sheared 6.7lbs of 21.6 micron fiber, and the following
year, over 6 lbs of 22.8 micron fiber in only 10 months,
with beautiful luster, character and crimp.

In November 2003, Jewel
delighted us by producing a light fawn daughter sired by Accoyo Yupanqui.
Bronwen is very unusual, with dark eyes and toenails, a white face, fawn
blanket and
fawn markings on her nose, head and ears. The skin on the back of her neck
is black, so this little half accoyo girl is simply full of color!
Jewel is now bred with our award-winning maroon herdsire, Romeo, in the hope of producing a colored cria with superior fiber. Romeo currently has two offspring on the ground - one maroon, one true black, both award-winners! |
