Platinum Marquis has proven himself nationally in the show ring. Shown, as a juvenile, at the three largest North American alpaca shows (AOBA,AAA Futurity and MAPACA) in 2004, Platinum Marquis won Champion and Reserve Grey Color Champion in these three shows.His luster and his lock are so remarkable that many breeders ask if he is an accoyo. He is a full Peruvian with accoyo blood from his dam's (Silverbelle) side (Bruxo, Uribe and Helios). Silverbelle was the Reserve Grey Color Champion at both AOBA and AAA Futurity in 2002 as well as the highest selling suri alpaca at the 2002 AOBA National Auction. Platinum Marquis' sire, Silver Marquis,is a deep gunmetal silver grey, a product of two silver grey parents, Silver King and Silver Gem. Platinum Marquis, a third generation silver grey suri,sired his first crop of crias born in 2006.All of them were colored suris with excellent lock and luster and out of 14 born, 10 were grey. Since then, Platinum Marquis has produced many more champion winning cria.Some of his well known champion cria  are, GLR Marakesh , GLR Orion, GLR Kiva , GLR Picassa , GLR Chasca, GLR Silvario and Silvano of PVA.

Nina has proven herself inthe show ring and has an extensive pedigree including, Bruxo, Inca and Uribe. Her first cria, Top Brass, earned a Blue Ribbon in his first show with the judge remarking, "his luster knocks your socks off" and was Champion at the National Sweepstakes show. Nina is bred to WWR Prince Greystone for a May 2009 cria.

We are very excited to add Champion true black GLR Arappaho to our herd. Arappaho is a striking suri herdsire with rare bloodlines, from the outstanding breeding program at Great Lakes Ranch, Brad and Jandy Sprouse. Arappaho was named Black Male Champion at both the 2009 AOBA National show in Cleveland with over 800 suris and was also Champion at MAPACA in 2009. He was only shown twice in 2009. His fleece has that sought after extreme greasy feel and is lustrous throughout each lock. He has well defined, consistent locks across the blanket with coverage to his toes and his conformation is exact with strong bone. Arappaho is a Shavano son out of an outstanding Synergy daughter. Shavano is half accoyo, true black and the 2010 Dark Herdsire of the Year. He was Black Male Color Champion as a juvenile at the 2006 AAA Futurity, and Reserve Black Male Color Champion at MAPACA that spring. Shavano went on to win his class the next year as a yearling at both the AAA Futurity and AOBA Nationals in 2007. Arappaho's dam, GLR Allelujah, is a fawn female with extreme luster and great density. Shavano is not open to outside breedings so Arappaho presents a great opportunity to add some of Shavano's rare genetics to your breeding program. Plan your breedings now to this Champion, rare Shavano son, GLR Arappaho.
