***2024 Cria are here, pics to come! Rosemont is one of the premier gray Suri herdsires of his era. The fleece traits this male has maintained with age are hard to come by in any color, let alone gray. Rosemont is the total package -- good bone, sound conformation, with a fleece boasting density, luster, and fineness all maintained with age. Rosemont has also consistently passed on these traits to his offspring, of which aside from being all males, are all exquisite rising herdsires in their own right. At ten years of age, Rosemont is still maintaining a grade 2 fleece. At the 2023 PNAA IFA fleece show he was second in grade 2 gray, placing two points behind a juvenile fleece! Rosemont inherited the best traits from his dam and sire; dense coverage and big bone from his dam's side and extreme fineness from his sire, Rosie truly is special. Rosemont has Accoyo in his blood from NGG Cortez on his dam's side and is big boned with exceptional coverage in ropey locks. His beautiful head comes from Cortez on his dam's side and Peruvian Aureo on his sire's side. His dam's contribution should not be dismissed, as she possesses coverage rarely seen in a female, high luster and dense twisted locks. Rosemont is a direct descendant of Shasta Springs Bachelor out of one of Gail Campbell's top herdsires, Maranta's Peruvian Maximillan. Bachelor passed on a beautiful head to his offspring and improved luster, lock and fineness in all of this offspring. Bachelor produced gray from every female he was bred to, a feat that will be hard to replicate. We sent his 2022 fleece off to the Suri Network fleece show, where Rosie earned a third-place ribbon in the combined-gender, gray mature fleece class, with 11 entries. It was a very close competition between all seven fleeces we had entered in that class, but Rosie received very high marks for his luster, fineness, and handle, at almost nine years of age. Rosemont is a prime example of the phenotypical and fiber characteristics that define the standard of our breeding program.

Dam: London's Paris

2023 cria update -- it's a boy!!

London's Paris

Suri Open (Female) Light Silver Grey

AOA# 31573412 DOB: 8/3/200915 yrs

Paris exudes confidence and grace, true to her grand-champion genetics. Paris is a very unique light silver gray with tight lustrous curly locks that continue to relock after shearing -- even at 13 years of age! The strength of her phenotype comes from her grand dam two-time grand champion, Ameripaca's Lorraine. Paris' dam, London, had notorious long black penciled locks, producing a long staple length year after year. Paris also benefits from her sire's genetic line in increased facial fiber ...

Paris for the win! Paris' Black Ty affair is a beautiful combination of his dam and sire. Ty has a solid balanced conformation (good bone, short back and longer legs) and an upright presence. Ty has the same run-way model conformation as his dam and maternal great grand dam and grand dam, that "look at me" kind of attitude, and consistent pencil locks from nose to tail.

A very wise alpaca breeder/judge told me years ago that the strength of a show stopping herdsire comes from his dam line, and Ty's lineage is filled with show stopping females. Ty's great grand dam on his maternal side was part of our first foundation herd. Lorraine (highly penciled lustrous white) was winning in the white show ring in those days against males and females. She took two grand championships before she started her breeding career. Her daughter, London (Ty's grand dam), spitting image of her dam in true black also took 2nd in Black Yearling Females and first in Owner's Best Bred and Owned at GWAS 2007. Ty's dam, Paris (light silver gray) has been wowing in the fiber arena. The commonalities on Ty's maternal side are a solid upright conformation, highly penciled lustrous fiber, and excellent coverage.

Ty's paternal dam lineage is just as impressive. Ty's great granddam was also part of our foundation herd, a very lustrous tightly locked with over the sky coverage in light fawn. Summerwind's Symphony, a Uribe daughter (my favorite Accoyo lineage), had good bone, extreme coverage and tightly twisted locks. It was not a surprise that she and Sandusky produced a limited-edition female like Melody. Melody has the coverage usually reserved for only the most elite herdsires, with tightly locked fiber from day one and blinding luster. Melody and Bachelor (an Aureo descendant who stamped a great head on his offspring) produced Rosemont, Ty's sire. Rosemont has the coverage of his dam and her blinding luster with the fineness of his sire. Rosemont also boasts extreme fineness, of which he has maintained with age. At nine years old, Rosemont is still 21 microns.

Both of Ty's parents and Ty were winners in the fiber show circuit this past year with very impressive fineness and luster scores. We are anxious to have Ty put his stamp on our herd this year and look forward to seeing the strength of his gray genetics.

If you're looking for a herdsire with strong gray genetics, Ty is the total package. Message us for more information on Ty's introductory breeding special.
