BBFAI Azalea is the mother of Kobe of PVA and Montoya of PVA, two of the most influential herdsires from Park View Alpacas. Azalea is a deep maroon color, almost purple in some lights. She is a fiesty and productive female--This year she gave birth to her twelfth cria, a cute little maroon female by Keanu of PVA.
And much to Azalea's delight, we're now breeding for cria number 13-- this time by Chakotah's Wyuna.
Description
Aliza is the daughter of our own past production, BBFAI Azalea. Azalea is a female that we sold to Park View Alpacas in 1998 as a yearling. If you know Suri alpacas, you know that Azalea built PVA's stellar colored Suri alpaca breeding program from the ground up, with a little help from Mahogany Prince :) Among Azalea's 13 offspring are: Kobe, Montoya, Juan Pablo, Mahogany Princess and our own Aliza, to name a few. Aliza has the same attitude, potential, and fabulous color of her phenomenal dam!
Black and Gray were once considered the most difficult colors to breed for and get consistent results. We believe that Aliza's incredible deep Maroon color is one of the most rare found in our USA herd today. ARI removed the color from the chart. Now it is simply called Dark Brown. Seriously??? It's like saying that beautiful 24K Gold jewelry is Yellow!
Aliza is a proven mother of 5 offspring (2 females, 3males). Her latest cria, BBFAI Angus, by Legend's Gold by Torbio, is absolutely fantastic. His color is so deep, it is indescribable. We have no complaints about this mom!
