Thistledown Iris/Tundra son |
Thistledown "Robin" |
Thistledown "Teddy" |
| Born November 9, 2012, this young man
certainly has the "it" factor. His full brother, "Skippy"
had the best
fiber of all our Fall 2011 crias - uniform, fine,
soft-handled and dense, with beautiful architecture and crimp - and this
little one seems to be following in his brother's footsteps. His dam is the
brown blue-ribbon winning Iris, and his sire is Tundra,
our white producer of Champion colored offspring. Boisterous
good-natured and healthy, this young male has beautiful fiber and
excellent conformation. He is offered as a fiber male only because he does not match our grey/black
breeding profile and is related to one of our herdsires.
Congratulations to Sherry, Abe and family, new owners of this beautiful
young male! |
This black boy was born at 5.00 p.m. on
December 17, 2012 and we honestly didn't think he was going to make it.
His temperature was 90.8 at birth, and he was weak, so we knew he must
have had a tough time making it out into the world. Dried him off, bundled
him up in three cria coats, sat him on a piglet heat pad and prepared for
the worst. But he turned out to be a fighter! His temperature gradually
increased, we gave him supportive care for a couple of weeks, and he
surprised us all. He is now a robust and healthy black youngster, with
gorgeous, silky-soft black fleece. His black dam is a 4X blue ribbon-winner
for her fiber, and his sire is our 3X Champion dark silver grey herdsire,
PV Nikos. This little guy is available for sale as a fiber male and is a
hand-spinner's dream! Congratulations to Sherry, Abe and family,
new owners of this beautiful young male! |
Born December 2, 2012, this son of our Champion silver grey male, Ben
MacDhui is out of our white female, Chiffon, who produced the brown
MAPACA 2012 / PAOBA 2012 fleece Champion. His fiber is dense, developing
nice character and his dam's wonderful smooth handle. Not sure if he would show as modern rose grey, indefinite light or dark
fawn, but he certainly has potential to produce quality grey offspring, so
could be a really good fit for a modern grey breeding program. Maternal
bloodlines include Pperuvian Victor, Sunset Hills Farm Andean Gold and
PPPeruvian Augusto, while his sire's 4 generation black and grey pedigree
reads like a "who's who" of the best colored alpacas in the US!
We can't keep this little guy, as he is related to our grey herdsire.
Congratulations to Sherry, Abe and family, new owners of this beautiful
young herdsire prospect! |

"Batman"
|
Thistledown "Yoda" |
Thistledown "Grunt" |
| Born
on December 12, 2011 and nicknamed "Batman", because his ears
were inside-out at birth, so he looked like he had bat ears (he looks just
fine now though)! Black with a white moon on his front left leg, Batman
has fleece with handle like satin. His dam, Kerensa, is a 4X blue
ribbon-winning black daughter of Compadre, and his sire, MacDhui, is a
silver grey Champion and multiple ribbon-winner in halter and fleece
classes. Batman has a wonderful sweet-natured personality, and beautiful
soft-handled black fleece. We had to pick burrs out of his fleece and
top-knot before taking this photo, and he just stood there, patiently, as if
he understood we were helping him. Really nice nature! Congratulations to
Sherry, Abe and family, new owners of this beautiful young male! |
Born
on December 10, 2011, he was nicknamed "Yoda" because his ears stuck out
from his head on both sides at a 45 degree angle, so he just had that
"look"! His true black fiber is dense and fine with good character, and we
were originally planning to keep him as a herdsire prospect, as his mother
is now sold. Unfortunately, given that we own his grey Champion sire, and a
number of his half-sisters, and need to restrict the size of our herd and
maintain genetic diversity, he is not a good "fit" for our breeding program,
so we are offering him as a fiber male. Congratulations to Sherry, Abe
and family, new owners of this beautiful young male! |
Born
backward on October 18, 2011, delivered by our vet, this little guy hit the
ground running and never looked back! Nicknamed "Grunt" because of the funny
little noises he made, this son of our 3X Champion dark silver grey male, PV
Nikos, and our multiple blue ribbon-winning dark silver grey herd matriarch,
Ishbel, was always destined for greatness! He exhibits his dam's exceptional
staple length and wonderful temperament, plus his sire's exceptional
fineness and hand, combined with excellent conformation and coverage from
both parents. Congratulations to Lisa and James on a great herdsire
choice, and thank you for allowing us to retain a few breedings :)

Duncan Nikos
|
|
|
|
| Magnus
is the last of his full Accoyo sire's line, and has fineness, crimp and
luster in abundance. 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 has started breeding. 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!

Iona's second true black
Knightrider son arrived on the morning of November 3rd, a few minutes
before Nola's pinto daughter. His head and chest were out while her head
and legs were presenting! He is a beautiful non-fading, non-tipping true black 20lb male,
with soft-handled, crimpy fiber, excellent conformation and a perfect
bite. This grandson of 5Peruvian Black Ice and
CPeruvian Axtion Jaxon is as strong as an ox and has a wonderful, proud presence and
"look-at-me" attitude. We are selling Conan as a fiber / pet
male because he does not have the fiber density we would like to see in a
breeding male, but he is a good-natured young male, with true black fiber
genetics, who is "bomb-proof" around people. First time he wore
a full-length costume he didn't even kick once - it was like he had
"been here before". Congratulations to "the Fairy
Lady", proud new owner of Conan! |
Blush's
beautiful solid maroon son surprised us by arriving late in the
afternoon on October 28, 2010. He is healthy and strong and has dense,
uniform, crimpy fiber
with a handle like plush velvet. At 6 months he is clearly exhibiting his dam's density, crimp,
fineness and hand and his sire's fineness, uniformity and gorgeous head,
so could have significant herdsire potential. This grandson of the AOBA blue winning silver grey
Aussie Rockford, and maroon Champion Peruvian King Crimson, has potential to produce both rose and
silver grey. His Accoyo Yupanqui and Accoyo Felix bloodlines are an asset
in any colored breeding program. Definitely one to watch - not shown
in 2011 because he was small for his age, but this little guy has
potential! Congratulations to "the Fairy Lady", proud new owner
of Duncan! |

Champion, Ben MacDhui, has excellent "typey"
conformation, plus wonderful crimp, staple length and coverage. Meliora certainly
has "the look", and is like a miniature black version of her

offspring, and a quality foundation female. Congratulations to Margaret
and Danny on their purchase of this award-winning, proven producer, bred with Champion
dark silver grey, PV Nikos. |
Iona
is a sleek and shiny, fine-fibered, half-Peruvian, jet black Jaxon / Danko
granddaughter, whose sire is the 4X Champion true black Peruvian CPeruvian Axtion
Jaxon. In his first year AJ's fiber analysis was AFD 18.4, SD 3.7, CV
20.0, >30 1.4%, which is phenomenal for a true black. Congratulations
and thanks to Danny and Margaret on their purchase of this award-winning

Lady
is the award-winning black daughter of Nova's Black Knight III, a Futurity Reserve Champion.
Her fleece is lustrous, velvety
soft, and full of uniform crimp and she is a powerhouse of top genetics,
including Bueno, Drambuie, Snowmass Nova,
Peruvian Casanova (rose grey), Felix and Outback Gold. Her black mother has
gorgeous fleece with a CV of 13.2 and SD of 3.6 at 2 years of age. Congratulations

"Skippy" |
| Only 9lbs at
birth on October 27, 2011, Tiny 2 was small, but
strong, and has grown and gained well ever since, just like his big sister,
PipSqueak. Excellent presence, stature and confirmation. His black
dam, Meli, tends to birth small crias that gain quickly. Dark silver grey,
just like his Champion dad, PV Nikos, Tiny 2 is a really sweet and confident little character, with
wonderful, dark silver grey fleece and great conformation. Congratulations
Danny and Margaret on your little heart-breaker! |
This fawn / indefinite light
/ light rose grey daughter of our dark brown blue ribbon-winning dam,
Iris, combines her dam's signature silky-soft handle, with
the uniformity and fineness of her dark silver grey 3X Champion sire,
Nikos. This granddaughter of the AOBA blue winning silver grey
Aussie Rockford, and rose grey Champion McGinnis, has potential to produce both rose and
silver grey and her Accoyo Yupanqui and Accoyo Felix bloodlines are an asset
in any colored breeding program. Congratulations Margaret and
Danny on your beautiful new girl! |
Born October 24,
2011, "Skippy" probably has the best
fiber of all our Fall 2011 crias - medium brown, uniform, fine,
soft-handled and dense, with beautiful structure and crimp. His dam is the
brown blue-ribbon winning Iris, and his sire our white producer of
Champion colored offspring. Iris X Tundra. Repeated this breeding for
2012. Congratulations to Jo on the purchase of this gorgeous young

PC Peruvian Knightrider is the son of two
true black Peruvian imports, 5Peruvian
Black Ice and 6Peruvian Anastasia. Knightrider has excellent
conformation and beautiful dense, crimpy fiber with great staple length
and handle. He produces quality
black, grey and brown offspring, even out of white and beige dams! Congratulations
to Margaret & Danny of VA on their purchase of our half interest in
Knightrider, and thanks for allowing us to retain some breedings for our
girls! |
First cria born
in Fall 2011, Moo took us a
little by surprise - we were expecting a solid or a grey, but got a black
spot instead. I was running around the barn trying to see which of our
patterned dams had given birth, but it turned out to be our beige girl,
Bronwen. No matter - Moo is blessed with good looks and a perfect
temperament, because
both of his parents are sweet-natured, with wonderful "typey"
conformation and great coverage. Congratulations to Jo on the purchase
of this beautiful young male.
|
Nicknamed "Galumph", due to his
habit of charging around like a baby elephant- this little guy simply
cannot creep uo on you! Dark silver grey, out of two solid black parents
who have always produced blacks together in the past. Iona X Knightrider.
Bred Iona with MacDhui for 2012 for a change, as he is silver grey, with a
history of producing black. Thanks and congratulations to Jo on her
purchase of this handsome young fellow - this photo really doesn't do him
justice, especially now he is shorn!

He is the full Peruvian son of

| Iris's true black son, Kelvin, arrived
on November 8, 2008. He has awesome conformation - strong broad neck and
shoulders with heavy bone, and carries himself like a macho already. Fiber
is very soft-handled, fine and crimpy and feels downright oily. Both his parents
are remarkably dense, with excellent staple length and compact,
heavy-boned conformation, and this little guy is built like a proverbial
brick outhouse. At 4 months, he weighed 60lbs. This one is an absolute beauty,
with phenomenal coverage and a beautiful head. He is the fifth
black cria in a year that his Champion silver grey sire, MacDhui, has
sired, out of all brown and
beige dams. We retain 5 breedings to Kelvin for our own breeding
program. Congratulations and thanks to Margaret and Danny of VA on
their purchase of this beautiful true black junior herdsire prospect -
we'll miss him! |
Severn
was quite the surprise, out of 3X Champion dark silver grey sire, Nikos,
and our blue ribbon-winning true black dam, Lady. Born on December 13th,
with a pedigree to die for - Felix, Yupanqui, Snowmass Nova, Hannaruh,
Fantasy's Gremlin and Outback Gold - his coloration is most unusual. He
has a bay black head, neck and lower legs, plus black fibers shot through
his brown blanket, and a white "7" on his face. He is like a
negative rose grey, and has wonderful conformation and presence.
Interesting little guy, with lovely fine, crimpy fiber - we are looking forward to
seeing him shorn, when his markings should look even more dramatic! We
retain 5 breedings to Severn. Congratulations and thanks to Margaret
and Danny of VA on their purchase of this beautiful junior herdsire
prospect, with rare coloring and excellent fiber characteristics. |
Kieran
is a 3/4 Peruvian, 1/4 Accoyo male,
with a solid black blanket, a white head and knee length socks, plus black
shoes on all four feet. His dam, Caterina, is the MAPACA fleece Champion half Accoyo
granddaughter of Accoyo Camilio and Victor's VAccoyo, and even at 5 years
of age, she has fiber with handle to die for - last year her fiber still
felt as good as many of our award-winning yearlings. Kieran's Champion
sire, Knightrider, is the full Peruvian son of Black Ice and a black dam
from the 6th Peruvian importation. Kieran has
crimpy, bright true black fiber that feels like spun silk. His
name is derived from both Cair, Welsh for "dark", and Ciaran,
Irish for "dark", "black" and we retain 5 breedings to
him for our own breeding program. Congratulations and thanks to
