Rare Bloodlines! GREY offspring!

ALEXANDRIA, Royale...de LaCroix

A beautiful, almost spotless, SILVER GREY daughter of our NAPOLEON de LaCroix [fawn: 75% of his offspring have at least some GREY fiber] and LRF SCARLET [silver grey], ALEXANDRIA has baby fine [18.8], crimpy fleece with wonderful handle and excellent staple length. She also has perfect conformation and a perfect bite. Descended from herd sires that have performed extremely well in the show ring AND have sired an incredible percentage of BLACK and GREY offspring, her heritage is 1/2 PERUVIAN, 7/16 CHILEAN, 1/16 BOLIVIAN. NEWS! May 24th, 2017: ALEXANDRIA has given birth to a handsome GREY male with GORGEOUS FLEECE sired by our ARCHIMEDES! Rebred to Archimedes!

ALEXANDRIA's maternal line:
GREYSTONE 33 [CHILEAN great, great grand sire]: 52% GREY and 28% BLACK offspring {79% total}
JERICHO de Chuchuta [CHILEAN great grandsire]: 66% BLACK and 11% GREY offspring {77% total}
ETHAN, Tierra's...Ben Jericho [CHILEAN grandsire]: 50% BLACK and 19% GREY offspring {69% total}
Note: GREYSTONE ['98 Canadian import]is a very rare bloodline.

JERICHO de Chuchuta: [great grandsire] "Sire of many ribbon winners. A true BLACK out of two silver GREY parents, JERICHO's lustrous black fleece gleams in the sun. A true macho with flawless conformation, great coverage, and a commanding presence, JERICHO also passes on his wonderful temperament to his crias!"

Tierra's ETHAN Ben Jericho: [grandsire] "3X COLOR CHAMPION! Strikingly correct conformation. Incredibly bright fleece with consistent, uniform crimp, and a wonderfully soft, silky handle. Sire of beautiful crias [greys, blacks, and beautiful red browns]; all with his sire, JERICHO's, incredible brightness and wonderfully fine handle! ETHAN's wonderful disposition makes him very easy to handle!"

ALEXANDRIA's paternal grandsire, 6Peruvian ROMANTICO, was an elite WoodsEdge herd sire, prized for his ability to sire crias with very fine and crimpy fleeces with extensive coverage.

ALEXANDRIA's paternal great grandsire: 4Peruvian MAGNIFICO, a true black that became a DARK ROSE GREY, was a striking SURI herd sire that needed no introduction to anyone looking at color genetics. His ability to sire quality, size, and unique colors, including harlequin appaloosa [also...harlequin grey appaloosa grandson, Derwydd Peruvian HAYA], remains UNQUESTIONABLE. He left a colorful legacy that included highly regarded herd sires and daughters that graced the pastures of some of the most notable farms in the U.S. and were rarely found on a sales list. Stellar color genetics!

ALEXANDRIA's paternal great granddam: “VICUNA ROYALE, a very fine-fibered, FAWN SURI female, was imported at 2 ½ years of age with a micron of 17.6[!], and she continued to have a low-micron fleece, even after producing several crias.” [Lovers’ Lane Suri Alpacas/Froelich]

This is a GREY female to watch! She has wonderful fiber AND color genetics, as well as wonderful AND rare genetic diversity.
