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

Midnight Rock is a jet black full Peruvian female, with dense, super lustrous fiber,extreme coverage and a beautiful suri head. She was bred to Shavano and gave birth to a jet black daughter, GLR Black Pearl who is stunning and immediately became a foundation female for us to retain for our herd. Midnight Rock's GLR Rastamon , GLR Moab was Reserve Black Male Champion at the 2014 AOA Nationals and the MAPACA Jubilee and 2nd at the AAA Futurity. GLR Moab is dense, big boned, super lustrous and will be fun to see mature. Midnight is now three for three in the black cria department with the birth of her 2014 cria GLR Miss Phoebe who sold to Karl and Jan Heinrich of Long Hollow Suris and will be a member of their 2015 show string and join their foundation female line up when she retires. Miss Phoebe is stunning, dense, with the same pearlized locks and luster of her mother with heavy coverage. We are honored with Karl and Jan's support of our breeding program as they really know their stuff when it comes to evaluating fiber and genetics. Miss Phoebe did very well as a juvenile in the biggest shows in the nation in 2015 and won the coveted Black Female Color Championship at the 2016 AAA Futurity. Midnight had a handsome fawn 2015 male cria GLR McQueen, also a Cinders' offspring, who as a seventh month old was the 2016 AAA Futurity and AOA Nationals Reserve Fawn Male Color Championship. Midnight is bred back to Cinders , the 2016 Dark Herd Sire of the Year and expecting a spring 2017 cria.
