PV Nikos son -- grey genetics
Thistledown Severn Nikos
HuacayaJr. Herdsire (Male)Medium Brown
AOA# 31600903DOB: 12/13/200816 yrs
Severn is a unique color combo of MB, BB, and vicuna patterning. His blanket is medium brown with good crimp, density, organization, and nice hand with excellent staple. The rest of this boy is dark where alpacas are typically light, and he has vicuna patterning on his belly and inner legs. He looks like a "negative rose grey", and based on his strong heritage of black and grey genetics, he should certainly be able to produce both.
We have exposed Severn to Rosie Angel Finch for a fall 2012 cria. The combination of her extreme density with his excellent fleece characteristics should complement each other for a very nice cria.
You have to see this boy in person to experience his unique coloring. Check him out and reserve a breeding at the listed introductory price, and watch for auction specials to help spread his genetics to other breeding programs!
comments by Thistledown Alpacas:
Severn was quite the surprise, out of 3X Champion dark silver grey sire, Nikos, and our blue ribbon-winning true black dam, Lady. Born on December 13th, with a pedigree to die for - Felix, Yupanqui, Snowmass Nova, Hannaruh, Fantasy's Gremlin and Outback Gold - his coloration is most unusual. He has a bay black head, neck and lower legs, plus black fibers shot through his brown blanket, and a white "7" on his face. He is like a negative rose grey, and has wonderful conformation and presence. Interesting little guy, with lovely fine, crimpy fiber.
