We knew when Riobamba was born that we would need a really GOOD name for him--this boy is something special! He's a full-Accoyo son of 7-time Champion, fawn Accoyo Ch'aska, and his dam is an Apache II daughter with her own blue ribbon to display. Riobamba has DENSITY, beautiful locking and LUSTER to burn. He has an excellent, solid conformation with a level top line and a very nice head.
Genetics...you want GENETICS?! Well, his (fawn) sire, Accoyo Ch'aska, just took Get of Sire at the California Classic (with Riobamba in his entry) and is a son of the awe-inspiring Pperuvian Bruxo. His dam, Accoyo Calamity Jane, is a daughter of the famous Apache II--he is a a son of the illustrious Pperuvian Uribe and another marvelous Accoyo import, Dulcinea.
Riobamba took his first blue ribbon at AlpacaMania 2011 and another blue ribbon at the Gold Country Gathering.
THIS JUST IN...Riobamba just took the SUPREME CHAMPIONSHIP in the Commercial Halter competition at the International Alpaca Odyssey, judged ty Ruth Elvestad and Jenny Jackson ...yes TWO International judges agreed that he was the best male Suri, any color, any age, in the show!! They loved his "stylish" presentation, the luster and density of his locks, and his strong, straight conformation.
What...ANOTHER COLOR CHAMPIONSHIP?! This time at the California Classic, judged by Jill MacLeod. Way to go, Riobamba!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ROY BERNARD OF BOCA RATON, FL!! HE HAS PURCHASED RIOBAMBA AND WILL BE AGISTING HIM AT WEST PENN ALPACAS IN PENNSYLVANIA!! WELL DONE, ROY!!
