Forever Precious Sapphire   

Dark Fawn, 1009828, 1/4 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian

Sapphire is a rich chestnut brown color that glistens in the sun light and so her nickname is "Fire." She is a large, well conformed girl with dense soft fleece and a good bite. Her grand dam and dam are excellent breeders and good mothers who have produced a high proportion of females. Last year Sapphire presented us with her fist cria, Geraldine, a lovely girl of similar coloration. This year she has given us an outstanding Calypsa male, Hunter. Sapphire is an excellent mother and good milker. Sapphire has a calm disposition, just like her mother.
Sapphire is a big boned girl who has inherited the proud bearing and vicuna pattern from her wonderful sire, Peruvian Virutal Vicuna.
She has also inherited her sire's density and wonderful fleece quality. She has earned two second place ribbons for her fleece in the two shows in which she has competed.

A full Accoyo son of Felix and a grandson of Caligula on his dam's side, Calypsa possesses a regal bearing and perfect conformation. With his commanding presence, it is no surprise that Calypsa won a first place blue ribbon as a yearling at the 2001 AOBA Nationals. His lustrous, champagne-colored fleece is extremely fine and dense. His AFD at 4 years of age was a low 22.5 microns. This year he sheared an amazing 11 pounds of fleece! He continues to win blue ribbons for his fleece at the national conferences.

He has 25 outstanding crias on the ground showing a variety of colors including white, beige, fawn, light brown, true black, rose gray, and silver gray. Most recently,he has produced a handsome light brown boy named Harrison and a lovely little rose gray girl. Calypsa is one of those rare Accoyos who lets the color of the dam pass through while passing along his density and fineness to his crias.
