The
newest arrival to our herd, Basquiat arrived on July 22 ready to
check out the world around him. He really hit the ground running…and
kicking…and jumping! This is one little guy with a lot of spunk!
Basquiat’s fleece shimmers in the sun, reminiscent of the colors of
an abalone shell. He has amazing luster already, and is locked to
the skin with curls all around his face. He stands tall and proud
just like his 3rd Generation Champion sire, Makeanu, and
appears to share the gentle nature of both of his parents. I look
forward to showing him next spring and adding to the ribbon count of
his sire. Read more...

The
sweetest girl on the ranch! Always the first one looking for treats,
she tilts her head as if to ask, "What did you bring for me today?"
She has gorgeous reddish-brown fleece with a white stripe down the
front of her neck. At her first shearing, her staple length was 12
inches! Danniella’s sire, Gambini, is dark rose gray which means
there is a chance for her to produce gray offspring. Danniella gave
birth to her first cria in November of 2009, a female named Camille
Claudel, to whom she passed her shiny brown fleece and sweet
disposition. Her next cria, sired by His Eminance, is expected in
December 2010. His Eminance was a dark rose gray Suri, so we are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of their cria.

Just
a weanling, but so much potential to be the next
herdsire. Caravaggio is immediately recognizable with his long
flowing locks and curious nature. He’s the first to welcome someone
to his pasture, waiting for treats and a rub on the neck. He loves
to run alongside you and play with the other weanling boys. He has
excellent confirmation, just like his multiple award winning sire
NGG Accoyo Apache II. His fleece is locked to the skin and
glistens in the sun, even though usually he is covered in hay.
Caravaggio will begin showing this fall, and I am anxious to see how
he fares. I expect that he will follow right in his sire’s
footsteps, so keep an eye on Caravaggio.

What
a flashy girl! Petina has lovely penciled fleece,
ranging from gold to nearly every shade of fawn, and then fading to
beige on her topknot and belly. Always one to relish a scratch under
the chin, Petina’s gentle disposition shines through. Petina has
good confirmation and a strong build. She has excellent ancestry,
with her grandfather Cantano of Peru being sold for $265,000
in 2003. She gave birth to her first cria, Makeanu’s Basquiat, in
July 2010, and she was a rock star! The entire birth took about 20
minutes during which time she took snack breaks! She has proven to
be an attentive mother and has had an easy time nursing. As all
breeders know, a female who has an easy time birthing and nursing is
quite valuable. Petina will be sold with a breeding to our
herdsire, Makeanu of PVA, a 3rd Generation Champion.

Ameripaca's Yuletide
was the first alpaca I ever bought, and she is worth
her weight in gold! She breeds easily, births easily, and nurses
easily…a dream female! Yuletide is currently pregnant with her 7th
cria and is an excellent mother. She provides the support crias
need, but encourages independence in them as well. She has been a
wonderful start to my herd and continues to add quality crias each
year. Always independent and relating to others on her terms,
Yuletide is the feistiest one in the herd! She fully believes she
should be handfed at all times and given special treats, looking at
you in utter disbelief should you dare disagree. Yet there is
something about this spirited girl that really captures your heart.

Now
this is a girl with some pretty
impressive genetics! Her dam, Azalea, is dam to Supreme Champion
Kobe of PVA and Grand Champion Montoya of PVA. Her sire, Keanu, is
an offspring of Mahogony Prince, as well as a champion in his own
right. Azaria follows right in the footsteps of her ancestors, as a
multiple award winner and Reserve Color Champion. Her excellent
conformation and fleece production illustrates the quality of her
genetics. For her first breeding, PVA chose to match her with the
true black herdsire MacGyver’s Balboa, who in 2006/2007 won 16 AOBA
Certified Halter Class Championships and 20 First Place Halter Class
Blue Ribbons. The pairing of these two brought together generations
of champion genetics resulting in Azaria’s first cria, Balboa’s
Cezanne (female, dark brown), born in June 2010.
And what a beauty she was from day one! Azaria is currently bred to Prince Greystone for a June 2011 cria. We expect another magnificent cria…one with gray in the background! Read more...

Camille
is a mini-me of her dam, Danniella. Her medium brown fleece has a
reddish tone to it which glistens in the sun. She has a little white
snip on the back of her front foot, as well as near her mouth and
nose. Camille’s sire, Cordova, is an Accoyo Jackpot son who has
gorgeous locks from head to toe. Her dam had a 12 inch staple length
at her first shearing. So Camille’s fleece should follow nicely in
her parents’ example. Camille is at a fun age where she is
comfortable with people and enjoys getting fed by hand. She
particularly likes when you sit in the pasture with her. She is a
gentle natured girl, like her dam, and tends to be the one in the
crowd who hangs back a bit. It’s nice to watch her become more
assertive as she grows. Read

Georgia
was named for the artist Georgia O’Keefe because the color of her
fleece reminded me of O’Keefe’s paintings of the landscapes of New
Mexico where I was born. I bought Georgia when she was just over a
month old, and it has been a pleasure watching her grow up. Since
she was my first cria, we have kind of grown together in this
business. She was my first one to halter train, my first one to take
to a show…I learned a lot, and Georgia was very patient with me
along the way. In the pastures, Georgia is a bit of a loner, but she
loves to engage with people. She appreciates treats and will hum
while you visit with her. She has a very sweet, laid back
temperament and tends to do things in her own time, just like her
sire.
Georgia received strong genetics from Gianni, as well as her ancestors Kobe of PVA, Mahogony Prince, and Azalea. Her dam, Yuletide, at the age of almost 9 still has a fiber fineness of 24! Georgia’s fleece is locked to the skin and very dense. Georgia has received the best of the physical characteristics of her ancestors along with their fiber fineness and density. And to top it off, she has the cutest little dark brown spot to the right of her mouth, just like Marilyn Monroe! Her first breeding was to Prince Greystone. We’re expecting an amazing June 2011 cria who will carry the possibility of gray. Read more...

One of our newest arrivals,
Cezanne's was a
much anticipated birth. Hailing from a Color Reserve. Champion dam, Azaria of PVA, and the 17-time Champion MacGyver’s Balboa, we
expected great things of Cezanne…and she has not disappointed. Her
dark brown fleece is locked to the skin, where her fleece becomes
much darker and has an almost smoky look to it. Her head and ears
have that same smoky appearance, while her fleece has that greasy
feel we like to see in Suris. This girl has some serious genetics in
her family tree: on her dam’s side, she boasts Keanu of PVA,
Mahogony Prince, Supreme Champion Kobe of PVA, and Grand Champion
Montoya of PVA while on her sire’s side, she can boast of not only
her Champion true black sire, but none other than Peruvian MacGyver.
Those are some impressive genes! Cezanne has a gentle nature, and
can be a bit shy. She loves to run with the other crias, kicking up
her heels with sheer pleasure. She was named for the artist, Paul
Cezanne, who often had thick, black outlines in his still-life
paintings. Read
