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

We purchased Jaimica from Jack and Kelly Armstrong of Latah Creek. A three time Color Champion, Jaimica is a beautiful mahogany brown, dense, and super lustrous with a gorgeous head and a calm and wonderful disposition. Her sire is two time AAA Futurity Grey Champion, Prince Greystone. Her dam is Snowmass Foxy Lady, who Don and Julie Skinner consider one of the top two dams of their Snowmass suri herd. Jaimica's first cria born was a super lustrous and greasy fawn Rico daughter. In 2009, she had a killer true black Shavano son who made his debut in the show ring at the AAA Futurity in Oklahoma City, and won Reserve Black Male Color Champion, then on to GWAS and AOBA Nationals. In 2015 his offspring earned Rastamon the AAA Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year. He is unquestionably the most dense, greasy and lustrous black we have ever produced on the farm. Jaimica's 2011 cria, also sired by Shavano was another jet black, dense and lustrous cria...but a girl this time, GLR Jamaica. Jamiaca was a multiple Color Champion over her two year show career, ending it at AOBA Nationals with her last Color Championship and the coveted Judges Choice Award. She was purchased by Linda Kondris of Pines Edge Suri Ranch in CO. In 2012 Jaimica was bred to GLR Picasso and gave birth to yet another true black female GLR Jamiyah who won Black Female Color Champion at the 2015 AOA Nationals, and Black Female Color Champion and Female Judges Choice at both the AAA Futurity and the MAPACA Jubilee .Her 2014 Cinders son, is mahogany brown just like her named GLR Justice. This young guy was probably the nicest male cria we had in our crop of kids from 2014. He was purchased by Linda Kondris and Mike and Janet Wilkins. Jaimica's 2015 male cria, sired by Picasso, GLR Joaquin ended his first year on the show circuit winning Reserve Brown Male Color Champion at AOA Nationals, the 2016 MAPACA Jubilee and 3rd place at the AAA Futurity starting his first show at just a few days over 6 months old. Jaimica just keeps pumping them out! Jaimica is bred back to Cinders the 2016 Dark Herd Sire of the Year ( closed to outside breedings) and expecting a late fall 2016 cria.
