"Choco" is full Peruvian and part Accoyo -- one of the few black suri herdsires in the country who are! His beautiful fleece and solid conformation, along with his superior genes, are a welcome addition to selective suri herds. He is a grandson on his dam's side of true black 4Peruvian Royal Black Gold, so the black genes run deep. On his dam's side, he is a half-brother to multiple blue ribbon winner and Champion, RFSS Peach Truffles. Choco's crias, many of them black, have been beautiful. World-class alpaca judge, Amanda VandenBosch, said that she pegged Choco's son, Jasper, for her first place juvenile dark suri male as soon as he walked into the ring at the 2006 Sunshine State Alpaca Expo, and she then picked Jasper as her Reserve Champion over 14 other males, many two years and older, when he was just eight months of age. The next month, Jasper was chosen as Color Champion at the Southern Select 2006, and then he took a First at the 2006 MaPaca Jubilee, one of the industry’s largest alpaca shows. In 2008, Choco's daughter, RFSS Rosebud, was unbeaten in her color class and took two Championships. Choco's son, Ali of TCF, placed ahead of sons of Torbio, Commander in Chief, and Sirius Black in the 2008 Spring shows, taking a Championship at the Palmetto Classic and placing Fifth at the All American Alpaca Futurity. Choco's son, RFSS Bonfire, took three Championships in three shows in Spring, 2009, at just eight months of age. Choco's many award-winning offspring are too numerous to mention here. Check out Choco's latest offpsring, Regal Raissa, owned by Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm, Plant City, Florida -- Raissa is dark rose gray, possibly turning to medium silver gray! Choco is co-owned with Joyce Johnson, Shadowland Ranch Suri Alpacas, Defiance, Missouri, so you can catch up with Choco at either farm.
