Shavano is our true black, full Peruvian, half Accoyo male who was named the 2010 AAA Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year. His lock and density are extreme for a black suri. His mother, GLL Macatawa is a medium fawn daugher of 4 P Macusani, one of our foundation females who had 8 female crias for us in a row. Shavano's sire is 4 P Miguel a white, full accoyo male. As a juvenile, Shavano was Black Male Color Champion at the AAA Futurity in 2006 and Reserve at MAPACA. As a yearling he was first in his class at both the AAA Futurity and AOBA that year, after being shorn the previous spring. His first crop of crias were shown in 2009. We only showed two crias that year, GLR Arappaho, now owned by Linda Kondris of Pine's Edge Suri Alpacas in Colorado, who won both the MAPACA and AOBA Black Male Color Championship, and GLR Tica, who was the Reserve Brown Female Champion at both the AAA Futurity and MAPACA. So far this spring GLR Tica has gone on to win the Reserve Brown Female Championship at the 2010 AAA Futurity as a yearling and the Brown Female Color Championship and Judges Choice at GWAS in Denver. Shavano also won Get of Sire in Denver, with three colored suris. Shavano won the Dark Herdsire of the year at the AAA Futurity with 4 Reserve Color Championships in both Black and Brown, in both the male and female catagories. GLR Tica went on to win the 2010 AOBA Nationals Brown Female Color Championship and GLR Ali was awarded the 2010 ABOA Reserve Black Female Color Championship. Shavano offspring were responsible for Great Lakes Ranch being named the 2010 and the 2011 AAA Futurity Medium Size Breeder of the Year and the 2012 AAA Futurity Reserve Breeder of the Year. 2012 MAPACA 1st Place Get of Sire 2012 MAPACA 2nd Place Breeders Best of Three 2011 AAA Futurity 6th Get of Sire ( 13 total entries) 2011 Mapaca- 2nd Get of Sire 2010 AAA Futurity- Dark Herdsire of the Year 2010 GWAS 1st Place Get of Sire 2010 GWAS 2nd Place Breeders Best of Three 2007 AAA Futurity 1st in True Black Yearling Class 2007 AOBA Nationals 1st Ture Black Yearling Class 2006 AAA Futurity 1st in class 2006 AAA Futurity Black Color Champion 2006 MAPACA 1st in class 2006 MAPACA Reserve Black Color Champion

Prestigia, an AOBA Fiber Champion herself in her day, is one of the best black full Peruvian suri females that we have ever had in our herd of foundation females. Her sire, Huacho's Prestige was a champion white suri. Her dam is a black and white paint, 5Peruvian Prestige, a direct import. Her first cria was Bagheera, now a black herdsire who was also sired by a white male, and standing stud at Moon Shadow Hills. Bagheera finished in the top five in 2004 at MAPACA & AOBA. Prestigia's 2005 male cria GLR Chipotle is now owned by Windy Hills Ranch. He placed in the top of the class in the AAA Futurity, Mapaca and Aoba Nationals and has two color championships to his credit.We were so happy with Prestigia's first Synergy son, Chipotle, that we bred Prestigia back to Synergy for a another 2006 cria which resulted in GLR Pablano. GLR Pablano is a spitting image of Chipotle except he is solid brown.In Pablano's first show he won a blue ribbon at the 2007 AAA Futurity as a juvenile in a class of 15. He went on to win 1st place and Reserve Color Champ at MIAF and 1st and Color Champ at the 2007 OABA show. Prestigia's 2007 cria is a true black female, GLR Persephone, who was fourth at the 2008 AAA Futurity, Color Champion Black Female at MAPACA 2008, the largest alpaca show in the nation,first at the Michigan Breeders Show ( no Color Championship) and Black Female Color Champion at the 2008 AOBA Nationals. Prestigia delivered a true black Shavano son, GLR Padrone in 2009 who sold and is standing stud in New Mexico. Her jet black 2010 Shavano daughter GLR Black Diamond was 1st at GWAS, 2nd at the AAA Futurity and 3rd at MAPACA ,and won the 2012 AAA Futurity Black Female Color Champion . Her 2012 cria is a brown female sired by GLR Rastamon. Prestigia was bred back to Rastamon and had a cool looking true black son, GLR Pacifico. In 2013 she had a beautiful true black male GLR Paquito. Prestigia is one of our best producers of color on the ranch, year after year. She is bred back to GLR Rastamon for a 2014 cria and if we were betting people we would be betting on another beautiful black show quality cria. She has earned her place in our hearts.
