Accoyo heritage. Lingering fineness.
EKATERINA de LaCroix
Alpaca, Huacaya, Open (Female) | True Black
AOA #845408 | DOB: 6/10/2002 (22 yrs) (Due Date: 7/5/2015)
Sire: Equinox Eternix
845408<--ari-->medium rose grey<--color-->
Dam: 6Peruvina Good Fortune
845408<--ari-->medium fawn<--color-->
Service Sire: Mojito, AV Rambo's Peruvian T.
845408<--ari-->Light Brown<--color-->Mojito's genetic potency is not yet well-known BUT you should see and feel his FINE fleece! The natural luster in his fleece even makes him look fine. After winning at AOBA for Alpaca Ventures, he was sold to a secluded farm, where his opportunities as a herd sire were unfortunately limited for a few years. Now, he is on a new farm and "out there"!
Mojito's pedigree includes 4P BLACK MAGIC, 5Peruvian QUICKSILVER, and MAGIC'S Peruvian RAMBO [see important sire information concerning Rambo]. He also has ACCOYO genetics [CPeruvian ACCOYO ARCTIC] through his paternal granddam, CPeruvian Rebecca!
Mojito's very fine, indefinite, light brown fleece is definitely greying, and his ability to sire grey is very evident in his 2012 rose grey son, Lord Nelson. Nelson's grey fleece is both crimpy and incredibly soft! Revolution's SYDNEY [Lord Nelson's fancy grey dam/See her web page] delivered her 2nd MOJITO cria in June, a handsome BAY BLACK male named McFARLAND. Ah! Fine, lustrous, crimpy fleece, perfect conformation, excellent health, and handsome!
Searching for an older, FULL Peruvian herd sire with an excellent pedigree, very fine fleece, and the ability to add grey color genetics? Mojito may be just right for you. The 2014 breeding season has been busy for Mojito. Bred to four females [2 grey; 2 black], he impregnated each at the first breeding. He is definitely a gentleman and only needs 12-15 minutes to do the job.
Take advantage of his many qualities! He has so much going for him:
an AOBA CHAMPIONSHIP!;
an older male with fine, lustrous, crimpy fleece;
the ability to sire grey offspring;
perfect conformation;
a potent breeder;
genetic diversity [BLACK MAGIC; ACCOYO ARTIC; QUICKSILVER];
and a wonderful personality!
Have you ever wondered what "mojito" means? The mojito is one of the most famous of the rum-based highballs, and the birthplace of the mojito is Cuba. It was a favorite drink of author Ernest Hemingway, who made<--description-->
Description
With black fleece that has lingering fineness, luster, crimp, & density, perfect conformation, a beautiful head, a calm personality, and excellent offspring, EKATERINA is a true black beauty. This is one of the reasons that her price is so high at her age.
EKATERINA's CHAMPIONSHIP sire is EQUINOX ETERNIX [medium rose grey] out of the famous PPeruvian CAMILIO [paternal ACCOYO grandsire-medium fawn] and PPeruvian GUELLERMO [great grandsire-fawn?].
EKATERINA's dam is 6Peruvian GOOD FORTUNE [medium fawn] out of 6Peruvian FORTUNATA [granddam-dark silver grey].
"Peruvian ACCOYO CAMILIO [Ekaterina's grandsire], son of Don Julio Barreda's Standing Bear, was the TOP FAWN PICK in the largest import of Accoyo fawn herd sires to date.
At age 3, his micron count was 20 with a 1995 shear weight of 13 pounds.
CAMILIO has a proud, handsome presence with heavy bone and prefect conformation.
While he sports a beautiful APRICOT-COLORED fleece, his crias have ranged in color from white to fawn to red-brown to jet black, with many winning prizes on the North American show circuit."
Review the show record list at the bottom of the page to see EKATERINA's award-winning heritage.
EKATERINA is currently bred to my AOBA award-winning herd sire, AV Rambo's Peruvian T. MOJITO, for a July 2015 cria. In MOJITO, "Katia" has been bred to exceptional genetics, and I expect an exceptional cria. This is the 1st time that EKATERINA has been bred to a dark herd sire, and I am really anticipating the results and hoping for grey, as well. A repeat of WESTIN STARR in grey or black would be wonderful!
[See EKATERINA's fleece samples under MORE INFO.]
Although EKATERINA [1/4 ACCOYO] conceives easily [despite the sometimes long intervals], we have chosen not to breed her often. She has always been in excellent health and has no medical history, except for routine shots and de-worming.
