Suri Alpacas Sold

Oops! A gate got left open... and lookie what happened. Harlequin Appaloosa Suri X Harlequin Appaloosa Huacaya = Platinum Harlequin suri offspring. The suri gene is dominant and, as such, the cria will be registered as suri. This lil guy has been in Oregon with his mom and the ladies traveling to Europe. They depart in July, so he is currently being weaned and will be returning to Rare Gem Alpacas in July 2021. So, mom and future maternal brothers and sisters will be living in Switzerland and dad-- Taupie... the homozygous huacaya harlequin appaloosa has now infused his highly expressive appaloosa genetics into the suri line!! Once this unique young man returns to California, he will be shorn... stay tuned for the lovely grey to reveal under those suri locks...

Update: Congratulations to Jabe Alpacas of Switzerland on their purchase of Rose for their appaloosa breeding program. Rose will bring new genetics to Europe and we are very excited to see what Rose will produce for her new owners. Rose is a gorgeous harlequin appaloosa female sired by AOBA champion, WWR Prince Greystone and full Peruvian Condor Granddauther. Her fiber is a beautiful rose grey with lovely lock, luster and density. Her build is sturdy and correct. Rose has a super sweet disposition and is a favorite of guests during farm visits. SIRE: Prince Greystone is a stikingly beautiful Rose Grey Suri herdsire, whose accomplishments in the ring are second to none. He has twice won AAA Futurity Color Champion, he took AOBA and AWE Color Championships, and took first in the International Alpaca Odyssey (no grey championship in that show). He has very uniform, lovely rose grey color throughout, with high luster and excellent independent twisted locks. He is a large, well-conformed male with a very "typey" head. Greystone's attributes are seen in his offspring!! Many of his spectacular progeny carry the same rose-grey fleece with the trademark "freckles" of his illustrious sire, Condor. One of his first crias sold at the 2007 Futurity auction for $30K, and another sold at the 2007 AOBA auction for $40K!! DAM: SoCal Marygold is a lovely, densely-locked, lustrous girl with good bone and excellent conformation. Her bloodlines are impressive--the legendary Sirius Black is her sire, and he brings in the pedigree of MacGyver and Bruxo. Her dam, Paiget of PVA, is a lustrous black Kobe daughter and she follows in the lines of Mahogany Prince. (photos of Marygold courtesy of Alpacas of Marin)

Lovely suri girl with shiny fawn locks. Dam is a harlequin appaloosa. Quen-tessa is super friendly and loves to eat pellets out of your hand.
