MacDhui's ARI certificate reads like a veritable "Who's Who" of the nation's top grey alpacas! His sire, Request the Best, is one of the most spectacular grey herdsires to be found anywhere, a multiple blue ribbon winner who placed first at the AOBA Nationals for three successive years. Dhui's grandsire on his father's side is the great medium rose grey, Cisco Kid, who is also sire to the famous General Schwarzkopf. From his black dam, MacDhui has inherited perfect conformation and a grey and black pedigree going back four generations, including SA Silverado and The Silversmith. Quite apart from his star-studded pedigree, Ben MacDhui is well known on the show circuit as a top quality grey herdsire in his own right. At MaPaca 2002, Mike Safley pronounced him "the densest alpaca in the class" and at the 2002 Virginia Classic Dr. Anthony Stachowski remarked on his "exquisite head" and "exemplary density". Other judges comments include "wonderful fleece", "very typey conformation" and "stylish". MacDhui is a real head-turner, with a wonderful temperament, excellent coverage, conformation and fiber. His first son, the half-Peruvian rose grey Kinross, sold as a future herdsire at only 4 months of age and won a blue ribbon in his first show. His first daughter, Shannon of Cairngorm, placed second in the "Bred and owned female" class at the 2005 Virginia Classic and sold within a week of being offered for sale. His second daughter, Eilwen, sold before she was weaned and without ever being listed for sale and placed third in halter at the 2006 Virginia Classic. His medium silver grey son, Skye, sold as a herdsire prospect and won a blue ribbon in yearling halter at the Level V Buckeye Show in 2006. Elin, his beautiful half-Peruvian dark brown daughter, won a blue ribbon at MAPACA in 2007!

Iris is the brown / recessive black daughter of the Champion rose grey McGinnis, who sired both the grey Color Champion female at the 2004 AOBA Nationals and the 2005 grey Futurity Champion female, who sold at auction for $80,000! Iris inherits her rich, brown coloring from her 3/4 Peruvian dam, and has excellent potential to throw quality black and grey offspring. Iris has an even, dark brown color, her fiber is crimpy and soft, and she is balanced, with straight legs and wonderful overall conformation. She is halter and performance trained, very smart with a friendly nature and should grow up to be an important asset in any breeding program. Iris's bloodlines include Peruvian King, PPPeruvian Augusto and PPeruvian Pluro. She delivered a beautiful, show quality black son, Kelvin, in November 2008, from a breeding to our grey Champion, Ben MacDhui, and is now bred with our half-Accoyo silver grey Champion, PV Nikos. Take a look at the grey, black and white males we have available to breed with Iris - between them they have brought home 5 Championships, 15 blue ribbons and 13 second place ribbons from major US shows, including AOBA Nationals, MAPACA, The Virginia Classic, the Great Western Alpaca Show and PAOBA!
