Caprice is a huacaya from suris - bringing the potential for super-bright, silky soft fleeces to her offspring. Many farms look for huacayas from suri lines to give and edge to their show string.
Caprice also offers loads of color potential, from both sides of her pedigree!
HPA Peruvian Black Hawk's Iguazu
True Black, 840359, Full Peruvian
Very rare indeed! Iguazu is the Peruvian true black son of 2 Peruvian true black parents. That and a show champion as well! He was the color champion black male at the 2003 Great Western Alpaca Show under judge Maggie Kriegger , as well as the reserve champion at the 2004 Southern Select judged by Amanda VandenBosch. Proving he is not just a pretty face, his fleece was the blue ribbon winner at AOBA 2004. Co-owned with Marcelo, Inez and Adolfo Games of High Peak Alpacas.
The more we look at this girl - and her fiber - the more we like this well conformed young adult female with a proud bearing.
Her fine, dense fleece has a golden hue like the flower she was named for. Her long staple length exhibits well defined crimp from base to tip.
Bred to Maple Brook Bolero for 2012.
Sire - A rare black pure Peruvian male from two black parents, Iguazu is a two time Champion, from the well-respected High Plains breeding program of Colorado.
Dam - Caprice is a full Peruvian huacaya from suri lineage. Top huacaya Champions with suri in their pedigrees include multiple Champions Lazy's Phoenix and AL Paca's Simba. Sima and Phoenix have both sired Champions, yoo. Other well known breeders who have used huacayas with suri lines to produce successful show alpacas include Kelly Zanella of Spa Alpacas.
In South America suri and huacayas have traditionally been kept and bred together. The two fleece types are rather like smooth and longhaired Dachshunds that can often appear in the same litter. Some believe that huacayas with suri in their pedigrees tend to have smoother feeling fiber and extra shine.
Buttercup has a lot of poential for a color breeding program - and a 50% chance of a color-fleeced cria sired by Bolero. Color or white, we are excited about this cria!
From the highly successful grey and color program of Neil Padgett, this young maiden had been held back from breeding due to the economy. Healthy and hardy, she is sure to be a great mom.
A Paca Fun has first right of refusal on her 2012 cria. Call if you are interested in Buttercup or a Bolero cria - FAWN, BROWN, or white!
