Meet the 2007 AOBA National Color Champion in composite, MFI Peruvian Ensign!  Multiple champion Ensign is an outstanding male who has never finished less than first place... and he is awesome!  He took first place at the 2009 Empire Fleece Show with an 18.5 for fineness and handle at over four years of age!

His lineage, fleece and conformation are impeccable.  His sire, Peruvian Donovan, is the fawn son of Accoyo PPPeruvian Augusto, and he is one of the offspring that made him so famous.  Ensign's grand dam, 5Peruvian Duranza, was hand selected in Peru and remains one of the best fawn females in the country. Ensign's dam is a gorgeous daughter of PPeruvian Leon, the darkest fawn Accoyo male in the United States.

Ensign is a stunning robust male with extremely fine, dense, crimpy  fiber and a phenotypically perfect conformation and head style... he is ready to take your farm's colored breeding program to the top.  Breed him to black, brown, fawn or white to create some incredible colored crias!

We specialize in mobile breedings! We will bring Ensign to you so that your maidens, mothers, and babies do not have to leave their loving owners or familiar surroundings.

A special bonus!  Many of the females on our Sales List include a FREE breeding to Ensign and FREE rebreedings until you get an Ensign daughter of your own!  Click here to see them!

Incan Treasure in the BEST True Black Yearling shown at the Coastal Classic, the BigE, PAOBA, North American and the 2009 AOBA Nationals!  He is the BEST Bred and Owned Dark Yearling shown at the Coastal Classic and the BigE... and he has consistently been the top placing dark alpaca at other shows when the class has not been divided into lights and darks... at the 2009 AOBA Nationals he stood fourth after two fawns and a beige (Snowmass and Park View Alpacas) and ahead of the whites.  The judges have loved the  fineness, density, brightness, and consistent well-defined character of his fleece... and although they have looked very carefully, they have not found one white fiber, which makes him especially valuable in a black breeding program!  In addition, he is out of two outstanding black parents who both have a lineage dominated with black and gray, which significantly increases his ability to throw black offspring. 

Incan Treasure has started breeding... we are anxiously awaiting his first cria at the end of July.  Because we have been approached by a number of breeders who want to add his outstanding quality to their black breeding program, we are offering a Breeding Special...  please see below.

Bod has been aptly named "The Bod" as he is a strongly conformed stud with excellent fiber and lineage. Although his fiber is the combination of bay black and gray that is typical of a dark silver gray, he has won multiple awards at a variety of shows in the dark indefinite class.

Bod's offspring are just beginning to hit the ground... and they are dark, sometimes black, and beautiful! We are pleased to see that he is consistently pulling color out of light females that have color in their background.

We specialize in mobile breedings! We will bring "The Bod" to you so that your maidens, mothers, and babies do not have to leave their loving owners or familiar surroundings.

Breeding Fee Options:
$1200 -- Multiple breeding discounts offered
