CA Peruvian Incantation is a Full Peruvian male out of two outstanding imports from the Sollocota region of Peru. His dam, 5P Mignon is dark silver grey and his sire, 4P Black Magic is true black. His parents gave Incantation the perfect combination of a heavy-boned, athletic frame, and excellent fiber characteristics. His fleece is dense with lots of crimp. He's so black he casts a purple hue in the sunlight. Incantation is a dream to handle, thanks to his mellow personality. Inc has produced black cria for us when bred to silver dams. His daughter Genna recently took a blue ribbon at the AlpacaMania spin-off.

I am humbled and fortunate to own this very typey Peruvian hembra. I wish I had a whole herd like her. When I saw her blurry Jan 06 sale photo I knew she was something very special..a perfect head, the slight curve in her neck, the topline and rounded rump, low tail set, deep chest, huge body capacity and blanket area, uniform color, density, fineness, character...all exemplified a textbook alpaca. One exception: she's my tallest female by 2-3", but all of her offspring are average sized. Maroon Monaco has a blanket weight very close if not the same to my whites, Pearl, and her 3x champion dam, Brentina (ARI EPD 1% club for fleece weight). She has very strong protection / survival instincts and is very expressive, yet is very tractable and easy to handle. She shows constant concern for others, alpacas and people alike. She passed our detailed selection criteria and was purchased to be one of our top foundation females. She blossomed slowly and year after year has maintained the exceptional qualities that earned her a blue ribbon from judge Safley. All four of her fawn colored grandparents are from the last, most stringent '98 importation and different regions. She's a full Peruvian with outcross vigor. (No Accoyo.) Her breeder, other breeders, her veterinarians and breeder/judge Mike Safley have all commented on her outstanding qualities. Offspring: 07: P. Lady Grace - By P. Tacitus; 2350 IgG; 1st place VAOBA, SOLD to Catalpa Creek Alpacas. 08: Triumph - Non-fading TB by P. Incantation, very typey and pure black all over. 09: Christina - maroon foundation female by our Constantino; she's a top producer. 10: P. RRoyal Faith - super dense and typey DSG F by our AOBA champion, Snowmass RRoyal Fox. 11: P. RRoyal Marquis - uniform royal fine maroon M by Snowmass RRoyal Fox. 12: Concordia - gorgeous dark maroon F by our Casimiro. 13: Prince of Monaco - DSG M by Rincon Cloud. 15: Exotique - F. very dark maroon/black (like her maternal gr.sire), by Constantino (LF). Some breeders admit, "Sometimes it's the dam you want." and finding a stud to significantly improve Monaco is a good problem to have. Her fleece is as good as our best herdsires. I wish I had lots more just like her.
