| Meriadoc
is the full Peruvian son of Blush, a blue ribbon-winning true maroon dam
and Tundra, a multiple award-winning white son of Peruvian Presidio. His
sire, Tundra, covers black, and Meri has dark grey gums and a maroon dam,
so has strong potential to produce colored offspring. Meri's fiber is just
awesome - extremely dense, uniform, soft-handled, long-stapled and crimpy.
He has the fiber character and quality of a white, and won a blue ribbon
and Reserve
Championship in full fleece halter at his first show, the 2009 Level III
VAOBA Expo, when he was only 11 months old. At the 2010 Virginia Classic
he placed first in his class, and second of all the bred and owned males
in show, beaten only by the white Champion (who went on to win Judges
Choice at MAPACA 2010)! Meri went on to win a second place in the
2010 MAPACA fleece show, a second place fleece at PAOBA 2010 and first in
a large mixed composite class at the 2010 Blue Ridge Classic. He has been shown in performance and costume classes by a 7 year old child,
and is remarkably good-natured and easy to handle. If you are looking for a wonderful
Champion male to show and bring home some more ribbons for your farm, with
the potential to upgrade the fiber of your colored dams, then this is your
boy. We retain 5 breedings
to Meri at this price - he has some of the best fiber we have produced in
our 9 years of breeding alpacas!

Cameron is the gorgeous silver grey son of our multiple blue ribbon-winning
dark silver grey female, Ishbel, and our silver grey Champion, Ben MacDhui.
22lbs 12 oz at birth, this young male has bone like an ox, a perfect bite and
fine, soft-handled, silver grey fiber with excellent staple length. At 10 months old he had
over 5 inches of fiber growth, and he was shorn to
the skin when he was a week old! Cameron has tremendous coverage, proud presence and
is virtually spotless. His bloodlines combine the best of the east with
the best of the west - Danko, Peruvian Luciano, Request the Best &
Silverado. We retain 5 breedings to Cameron at this price. Cameron placed second out of all the greys in the Walking Fleece Fiber
Futurity
at the 2008 Virginia Classic, second in the fleece show at MAPACA
2008, the largest alpaca show in the US, first in the PAOBA 2008
fleece show, second in the 2008 VAOBA Spinoff, second in the OABA SpinOff,
and first in the 2008 LA Deep South SpinOff and first in the 2009 Virginia
Classic SpinOff with 93/100 points!

If
you appreciate quality color, especially in grey, then you know Heather is
a
rare find. She is an absolute doll, with well-balanced,
straight, square conformation, plus fine, crimpy, rose / silver grey
fiber, with a remarkable absence of medulated fiber throughout. Daughter
of PV Nikos, our 3X Champion, half-accoyo dark silver grey herdsire,
Heather inherits Felix, Yupanqui and Hannaruh bloodlines from her sire.
She is the daughter of two Champions, with her Champion dark brown dam,
Holly, bringing the Black Hawk and CPeruvian Jaxon bloodlines into the
mix. Heather exhibits
precisely the excellent conformation,
fiber and rare coloration we were
hoping for from this match!
Amanda VandenBosch
awarded Heather the blue
ribbon in her first halter class, at the Level IV CABO show in February
2010. Heather placed second of all the greys in the March 2010 Walking
Fleece Fiber Futurity. Her juvenile shearing went on to place second in the 2010 MAPACA fleece show and
second at PAOBA, where she scored only 1/2 a point less than the Reserve
Champion! At the 2010 Blue Ridge Classic, Heather placed second in her
yearling class and won the Reserve Championship.

is the last of his full Accoyo sire's line, and has fineness, crimp and
luster in abundance, plus the potential to produce
elite-fibered colored alpacas. His dam, Goldie
is a full Peruvian light fawn female, with crimp, fineness and beautiful consistency to her fleece, which earned
her the second place ribbon in a very competitive 2003 AOBA Nationals fleece
show. Magnus was
sired by the full Accoyo Trujillo Alto Peru (deceased), an impressive son of
Ppperuvian Mr President with exquisite fiber - 18.6 AFD with an SD of 3.9 and
0.7 % of fibers over 30 micron at 5 years of age! We retain 5 breedings
to Magnus at this price, and he started breeding in Spring 2009. Magnus
has won numerous halter and fleece awards, including 1st out of 12 entries in the prestigious
National Fiber to Fashion Spinoff, 2nd in the 2008 MAPACA Spinoff, the largest alpaca show in the
US, 2nd out of 9 in the AOBA National SpinOff and first out of 13 entries at the 2008
VAOBA Expo, earning the second highest score in the entire competition!

Lakisha's 17lb solid black son arrived on
November 19th, and we couldn't be more excited that our multiple
award-winning white male, Tundra, has produced non-fading black from white in only one generation, or about the fact that this cria
is a 7/8 Peruvian boy! Named after Arthur's magical sword, Excalibur has
extremely dense fiber, with handle like satin,
plus a perfect bite and his dam's excellent,
heavy-boned conformation. This non-fading true black grandson of Peruvian
Presidio and CPeruvian LB Remington has bloodlines to die for in black,
plus a very mellow temperament (he is halter and performance trained in
obstacle, PR and costume). We retain 5 breedings
to Cali at this price - we want these genetics in our breeding program too! Awards:
Excalibur placed 4th in juvenile full fleece halter at his first show, the
Level I V VAOBA 2009. The judge commented on his excellent conformation and
topline and we are very pleased with his staple, handle, density and
non-fading true black coloration. at the 2010 Blue Ridge Classic! At the
2010 Blue Ridge Classic, Cali won first place yearling dark male, and his
first Championship!

Gwendolen
is the daughter of a multiple blue ribbon-winning black dam, Kerensa, and
an award-winning full Peruvian white male, Tundra, who is already proven
to produce black. Gwen is recessive black, with potential to produce
colored offspring, and includes a built-in fiber upgrade from her white
sire. Her price includes her first breeding to our true black Champion, PC
Peruvian Knightrider, when Gwen is old enough to breed. She has very bright, silky-soft fiber, plus excellent conformation
and stature, like her mother and grandmother before her, who both have the
conformation, attitude and presence of most herdsires. Her dam, Kerensa,
is one of our most intelligent alpacas, who won numerous ribbons in
performance classes, as well as halter and fleece. Our eldest daughter has
trained and shown both her mother, Kerensa, and her grandmother, Demelza,
before her! Gwen will make an excellent foundation female for a black or
colored breeding program, and has the personality to become one of those
females you never want to sell! |

Knightrider son |
|
| This full Peruvian son of a
black Champion is as handsome as all get out, but not exactly the color
we were aiming for with this breeding! His award-winning beige dam,
Bronwen, produced a true black daughter last time she was bred with our
true black Champion, PC Peruvian Knightrider, and another true black
daughter bred with our silver grey Champion, Ben MacDhui. Born May 1st
2009, this little guy is beautiful and sweet-natured, with potential to produce black bred to
black, but he is not a good fit for our breeding program. He is offered for sale to a good home for a bargain price. If you are interested in
owning alpacas for fiber or as pets, or just to learn how to take care of
them if you are thinking about getting into the business, then these boys
could be a great opportunity for you. |
He is the full Peruvian son of
two Champions - one black, one dark brown - but is not the right color for
our breeding program. His MAPACA fleece Champion and multiple award-winning
dam, Nola, is a beautiful female, with extremely dense, crimpy,
soft-handled fiber and a perfect temperament. Born May 19th, 2009, this
little guy weighed in at over 23lbs, has potential to produce black bred
to black, plus dense, plush fawn fiber. He is offered for sale to a
good home for a bargain price. If you
are interested in owning alpacas for fiber or as pets, or just to learn
how to take care of them if you are thinking about getting into the
business, then these boys could be a great opportunity for you. |
