Adirondack Alpacas

AdA Mariposa's Elusive Butterfly   

White, 838695, 7/8 Peruvian

"Lucy" is a wonderful female. She exhibits head-to-toe, crimpy, bright fleece, dense, with soft, smooth hand. She has a wonderful head, with dark pigment around the lips, nostrils and eyes, (looks like her sire); she passes on these characteristics to her crias; she is very correct conformationally.

Lucy is 7/8 Peruvian, 1/2 Accoyo. She carries the Accoyo lines of Caligula, Auzengate (who has been recognized as an "impact herdsire" in Australia and whose genetics are coveted in the U.S. for their rarity and quality) and El Rey.

In winning a blue ribbon at her first show, the judge, Ruth Inglefield, stated that she was "well balanced, moved out nicely front and back", had "excellent capacity" and a "great, typey huacaya head"; she indicated that Lucy would make "an excellent foundation female". Judge Lavona Fercho called Lucy a "robust female" in "a class of superb foundation females".

Lucy has produced two crias, both lovely white females, Passion Vine and

Accoyanza stands proudly at the top of our herdsire row. He is a Hemingway x Vengador grandson (thus making him the great grandson of the legendary Accoyo, Shere Khan).

Acoyanza's fleece has tremendous brightness, very nice consistent crimp from head to tail, combining fabulous density with fineness. He has solid conformation, perfect bite, exceptional presence and a great head. This macho is cool, calm, collected; a natural showman. He has a very easy temperament, making him a breeze to husband, a trait which he passes on to his crias.

Acoyanza took a blue ribbon in full fleece, under Dr. Julio Sumar, at 2002 SOJAA.
