Thistledown's McGregor
McGregor is the most beautiful and unusual dark silver grey son of two Champions. His dam, Holly is an incredibly dense, crimpy, dark brown daughter of the black Champion, CPeruvian Black Hawk, and her dam is a Champion fawn daughter of the true black CPeruvian Jaxon. McGregor's sire, our Champion grey Ben MacDhui, is a consistent producer of quality, colored progeny - his offspring that have been shown have won first, second or third place ribbons at Level III AOBA-certified shows or above. He sired three beautiful cria this Spring - a dark silver grey girl and two silver grey boys, out of brown, fawn and indefinite dark dams. McGregor's parents are the two most densely-fibered colored alpacas in our foundation herd, and he was so dense at birth that we had to shear him the next morning! We are proud to offer him for sale with retained breedings, and firmly believe he is going to make someone an outstanding junior herdsire prospect.

Awards: Too young to show until Spring 2008.
