We knew this girl was special when we first saw her. She's our ranch ambassador and official greeter who makes friends with everyone she meets. If there was a competition for "Miss Congeniality" she would surely take the championship. Her official AOA color category is "Fancy." That's Apollonia alright! And with her impressive genetics we expected her to do well in the show ring. Now it's confirmed. Top 5% EPDs! First place ribbons! Amazing luster! ! Here's what the judges had to say. "Good uniformity of micron in both colors!" - Cheryl Gehly, 2021 AOA National Fleece Show "Soft hand to this fleece with good weight relative to fineness." - Diana Timmerman, 2021 Suri Network Fleece Show...

Many thanks to Wendi and Russell James of Little Providence Alpacas in Reno, Nevada for this donated breeding to Ephraim! Density, fineness, locking and luster! This male has it all, and has the capacity to pass these traits on to his progeny. His EPD scores are in the top 5% to 15% for almost every category--no surprise because his sire and dam also score in the top EPD percentiles. Ephraim is a son of the incredible Big Timber Josef, who has countless championships and champion crias. Josef is a son of the almost legendary Pucara Kahuna: for many years the star of the famed Pucara herdsire lineup. Ephraim's dam is also a champion and brings in...

Coletta's maternal line carries strong black genetics, including Champion grandsire, Dundee's AJ Stormcat. Her sire, Kiernan, is a product of Amanda Vanden Bosch's breeding program and he has numerous champion offspring and get-of-sire wins. Our Coletta has a very pretty, balanced, sturdy frame, a richly-colored crimpy fleece with a soft handle and winning color genetics. She's a sweet girl and is easily lured with food. She had a beautiful girl last Fall who we love! We bred her this Spring to multi champion Accoyo American Hawkeye. We can't wait to meet her new cria! Coletta is on our farm in Sonoma County in the North San Francisco Bay area. ...

Hawkeye is probably the last full Accoyo fawn offspring of the legendary Accoyo El Nino, revered for his prepotency in passing his outstanding characteristics on to his offspring, and we expect no less from Hawkeye. Hawkeye's full brother, Accoyo Polaris, just sold for $100,000 at the 2012 Parade of Champions Auction! His dam, Pussywillow, was a Futurity champion with numerous illustrious offspring. El Nino was reknown for DENSITY, and he has passed this trait on to his son, Hawkeye. Hawkeye has outrageously crimping, bundling fleece, with that quality of "draping" that you only see with exceptionally dense fleece that has long staple length. Brightness? Look no further--Hawkeye's fleece will knock your socks off! And for a young male, Hawkeye has a "macho" conformation--solid with excellent bone, a level topline, and a classic Accoyo head, not to mention a perfect bite at 7 years of age! Hawkeye returned from his summer at the Firestone vineyards, and he looks MAGNIFICENT!! The new generation rises from the legacies of the great Accoyos El Nino, Caligula, Sunipani, Pussywillow, and Auzengate! When I look at Hawkeye, I am often reminded of his sire, Accoyo El Nino, and how he died outside in a winter storm, refusing to come into the barn because he was "protecting" his harem from the attentions of another herdsire (who happened to be his son!). Hawkeye looks just like his sire (in fawn), refusing to go out to the field to graze, preferring to "protect" his turf (although he rarely fights or spits--he's a very "benign" dictatior!). Hawkey's first cria, Mohican, took 3rd of 13 his first time out in the ring at the GWAS--he had barely turned 6 months of age. He is gorgeous--3 blue ribbons, and the spittin' image of his sire in white. Hawkeye also has a rose grey daughter who just took the Color Group banner (CC) at the California Classic. Hawkeye ws featured in the video on EPDs at the 2015 AOA Nationals, representing the top 1% for Fleece Weight. He is honored! Hawkeye is co-owned with Jan and Dale Davis, of Derwydd Alpacas. He is enjoying the ocean breezes of Coastal Marin County north of San Francisco, at Alpacas of Marin.

WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR LIGHT HERDSIRES TO BREED TO WE DISCOVERED ICE KING'S POSEIDON OF TSSS LOCATED AT PUCARA STUD. WE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A HERDSIRE WITH THESE LINES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE DAM IS PURESURI MANDALAY FROM SILKWORM. AND HIS SIRE IS THE FAMOUS PUCARA PURESURI TIKANUI'S ICE KING WHO WE HAD SEEN AT MANY SHOWS. WE WERE SO EXCITED WHEN POSEIDON BECAME AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. THANK YOU TO HIS FORMER OWNERS, PUCARA INTERNATIONAL STUD AND HASSELBRING'S HARMONY RANCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. WE NOW PROUDLY CO-OWN THIS HERDSIRE WITH DALE DAVIS FROM DERWYDD ALPACAS!!! WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING!!!!!...

The lovely ShimmerNShine.. lives up to her name, really NICE LUSTER... long staple, good fineness, slick cool hand.. out of the 14X Champion GLR Nico and Derwydd Accoyo Champi! Great show career! Shimmer is a wonderful mom and has produced beautiful crias for us. She was bred this spring once again to TSSS Ice King's Poseidon!! We know she can throw color, so what will she do bred to elite white! UPDATE: Shimmer has done it again! Her 2023 cria is a beautiful bright, white boy, and we're so happy with him.

What a gorgeous girl! We're so proud to have Liquid Luck join our herd. Thank you Jason and Beverly Brehm! The judges certainly loved her. With her breeding to 2023 AOA Suri Light Male National Supreme Champion RGSA Phoenix, this cria will indeed be royalty! We look forward to a long and productive career for her. ...

Phoenix continues to dominate the show ring every time he enters it. With 23 Championship banners and 7X Judges Choices, Phoenix is a male at Rogue we have chosen not only to keep for our Herdsire row, but he is CLOSED to outside breedings. Phoenix is the first cria to hit the ground out of GLR Jazlen. Although Phoenix was not exactly the color we expected with the pairing of MMALP Goldstar's Vader, Phoenix exibits luster and density that is just remarkable. He also exibits excellent phenotype with a very typey head. This pedigree combination of Cinders with the Vader cross is sure to make a very large splash at the shows in 2021! Phoenix is a male that could improve either a colored p...

Autumn is such a sweetheart and just about the cutest alpaca you've ever met. She's the favorite of everyone who comes to visit. And, the judges liked her too! No surprise there really. Her pedigree is outstanding! She's grand daughter to the famous Matrix and her dam is daughter of Kiernan. She obviously doesn't fit into our breeding program at Sonoma Suri Alpacas, but it will be hard to see her go if we ever decide to sell her. ...

Beautiful grand daughter of GLR Nico on sire's side, DDF Accoyo Armani on dam's side, plus all those genetics behind them. Tiny Dancer's first cria was a lovely white female by El Dorado Wind Surfer, who sadly is now gone. Dancer is now bred to Derwydd Wyndd Danncer, fleece Champion with fantastic fineness and uniformity, due in Fall 2024. I can't wait to see what these two dancers will produce!...
