Peruvian Hot Chocolate   

Dark Silver Grey, 809977, Full Peruvian

Hot Chocolate is a rare full Peruvian, dark silver grey suri female. Her dam is true black, and her sire is an unknown Peruvian.

Hottie’s strong color genes have allowed her to throw crias that are 3+ shades darker than her service sire. She has delivered three dark colored suris in three years, including a medium brown/maroon pinto when bred to white, a bay black when bred to dark fawn, and another bay black when bred to dark maroon.

Hottie has very nice lock structure, good square conformation, and a likable temperament. When experience breeders visit the farm, they are always attracted to Hottie.

He also has won a blue ribbon for "Best Hand" -- roughly the equivalent to a Grand Champion ribbon in fleece competition -- since it is the judge's #1 choice out of all the fleeces at a show.

Vivaldi displays attitude, presence, and a strong suri phenotype. He has a strong conformation, correct proportions, a square back, straight legs, even hocks, and a good bite.

The most expensive alpaca in the world -- who sold for over $250,000 -- is maroon.

Vivaldi's sire is known for throwing award-winning suri offspring and has contributed exce
