Prince Greystone is a strikingly 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.

Marquis is a striking, tall, elegant Medium Silver Grey Suri Male--heads turn when he passes. And why not? His dam is a MAPACA champion by Platinum Marquis and his sire is twice Futurity Champion and AOBA champion with "too numerous to count" champion offspring, WWR Prince Greystone!
So, that means that he not only (obviously) carries the genetics of a classic grey, he may very well also carry the genetics of the modern grey/appaloosa-type that his sire famously demonstrates!
So, what will it be from Marquis--Classic grey or modern grey offspring?!
At his first show (no grey champion class), he took a blue ribbon and the judge commented that his lovely twisted locks were already"turning themselves into yarn".
He went on to take blue ribbons at his second and third shows in Spring 2015.
Marquis is a tall male (the Platinum Marquis line is tall) with correct conformation, and a perfect bite (our vet wants us to emphasize that!). He has moderate density and luster, and a straight, round, twisting lock. And now that he's beginning his regrowth, he's almost more gorgeous than he was in full fleece--just a beautiful medium silver grey blanket, and an adorable face!
Marquis finished out his show career with yet another blue ribbon in halter from Jude Anderson at the California Classic in 2016. He is standing stud at Alpacas at Windy Hill in Somis, CA where he has settled his first girls.
