NAPOLEON de LaCroix was a wonderful herd sire with beautiful fleece and perfect conformation. His sire was the prized, light fawn 6Peruvian ROMANTICO, and from his sire, NAPOLEON inherited fleece with long-lasting fineness and soft handle, even in his advanced years. There was also the suri influence in NAPOLEON's color and luster. NAPOLEON's dam, beige POWDER PUFF Royale, was a huacaya out of two EXCEPTIONAL suris: 4Peruvian MAGNIFICO, a dark ROSE GREY, and 5Peruvian VICUNA ROYALE, a medium FAWN. NAPOLEON's offspring inherited his fineness, as well as his beautiful head and extensive fiber coverage. Better yet, more than 75% exhibited grey fiber, most often ROSE GREY. His daughter, Royale ALEXANDRIA, is a beautiful baby-fine grey out of a grey dam, LRF SCARLET. Sadly, NAPOLEON passed away on November 11, 2020, at the age of 19 years. Sire: “MAGNIFICO, a true black that became a DARK SILVER GREY, was a striking herd sire that needed no introduction to anyone looking at color genetics. His ability to sire quality, size, and unique colors, including harlequin appaloosa[!], remains unquestionable. He left a colorful legacy that included highly regarded herd sires and daughters that graced the pastures of some of the most notable farms in the U.S. and were rarely found on a sales list. Stellar color genetics!” Dam: “VICUNA ROYALE, a very fine-fibered, FAWN SURI female, was imported at 2 ½ years of age with a micron of 17.6[!], and she continued to have a low-micron fleece, even after producing several crias.” [Lovers’ Lane Suri Alpacas/Froelich] NOTE: Although it is possible that a HUACAYA with a SURI ancestry might generate a SURI, the possibility is very slight. I am NOT advocating the cross breeding of SURIs and HUACAYAs nor am I cross breeding SURIs and HUACAYAs. I am ONLY breeding HUACAYAs and am simply taking advantage of the great genetics that the NAPOLEON line offers.

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.
