There are few alpaca herd sires in the same league as MacGyver’s Balboa. He is co-owned by Park View All American Alpacas in Oregon and Victoria Lane Alpacas in Ohio. During the course of his show career Balboa racked up 16 Halter Championships-- 13 Color Championships and 3 Reserve Championships. And his fleece won a few awards too. At the MAPACA 2008 Fleece competition, Balboa’s fleece was awarded a First Place and Best Suri Locks. Then at the 2008 AOBA National Fleece Show, Balboa was awarded First Place and Reserve Color Championship. His fleece also received a Special Award at Nationals for Best Suri Locks. Balboa’s offspring have accrued more than 25 championships among them to date! Though he is true black, Balboa specializes in both light and dark colored offspring, and both do equally well in the show ring. Thus it is at the 2011 Futurity, he was named both Dark Herd Sire of the Year and Reserve Light Herd Sire of the Year. Included on the light side of the family, from Park View Alpacas, are: Lucieno of PVA, 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; the divine Imperial Princess of PVA, 2011 IAO Supreme Color Champion, 2011 CABA Color Champion, and 2011 Futurity Res Color Champion; Balboa’s Fanfare of PVA, the 2011 IAO Color Champion; Chablis of PVA: 2010 GWAS Res. Color Champion, and 2011 IAO Best Head; and blue-ribbon-winning and future color champion Chardonnay of PVA: 1st 2011 AOBA National Show, 1st 2011 Futurity, 1st 2011 GWAS, and 2011 IAO Best Head. But wait, Balboa makes dark Color Champions as well! These include, again from Park View Alpacas: Bejeweled of PVA, 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; Nataliah of PVA, half-sister of PVA Mahogany Prince and 2011 AOBA National Show Color Champion; Chanterelle of PVA, 2011 Futurity Color Champion and 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; Fawnessa of PVA, 2011 IAO Color Champion; and the immortal, memorable Testaverde of PVA: 2011 Color Champion at the IAO, the CABA Classic, the AOBA National Show, and 2010 Futurity Color Champion. Balboa has also sired some champions for Victoria Lane Alpacas. His first offspring to hit the ground, Balboa’s Adrienne, won 3 Reserve Championships during her show career. Then Adrienne’s full sister, Balboa’s Lexi, came along and also took 3 Reserve Championships—FABA 2011, Best of US 2011, and CABO 2011. In addition to these accomplishments, Balboa is just plain an all-around great guy. He’s friendly and intelligent, easy to handle, comes when he’s called, doesn’t cause problems with other males, and treats his ladies with dignity. UPDATE: NEW CO-OWNERS M&M ALPACAS OF NORTH CAROLINA

Are you looking for a black female with a lot of dark colors in her background, and bred to a black multiple-championship-holding male? Then look no further than Gerusha of PVA. True black, her fleece grows in thin pencil locks with shiny luster. Her head is small and fine, and immediately calls to mind her sire, Kobe of PVA. Gerusha’s sire, Kobe, has enjoyed a long and prosperous career both on his own and through his numerous and beribboned offspring. Through her sire, Gerusha carries the blood of BBFAI Azalea and PVA Mahogany Prince. Her dam, PVA Geneva, is one of PVA’s oldest and most productive females. She is out of Nikatia (the very same Nikatia who produced Mahogany Prince) and by Cool Fire. Geneva has given birth to many healthy crias who were either bay black or true black, including Genobe of PVA. Gerusha is expecting her second cria in autumn of 2012. We rebred her to MacGyver’s Balboa, who was recently named both Dark Herdsire of the Year and Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year in 2011. October 2011: Gerusha gave birth to a pixie of a cutie--a little bay black girl! Gerusha is a fine (if anxious) mother. Her milk is so good that her cria gained a pound almost every day! Gerushita, the cria, is very friendly and sweet, and has lustrous little locks to boot. November 2012: Gerusha has given birth to a beautiful medium fawn male by Balboa. Though the youngest of this year's crias, he is a leader in mischief!
