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.

JACQUELINE has perfect conformation and dense, lustrous fleece. Although beige out of a white sire and a white dam, her first offspring has ROSE GREY in her lustrous, fawn fleece! Jacqueline's fleece has remained quite fine [approximately 20 microns]. A great genetic attribute in an older female. Although only bred twice in her life [as a 3 yr. old & an 8 yr. old], she has conceived easily on the first breeding and is currently bred to a young ACCOYO herd sire, Odyssey's ACCOYO Silk Sheetz [see his web page]. This breeding should produce a May 2014 cria with excellent conformation and fleece that is dense, very fine, and very lustrous with excellent staple length and, possibly, color! If you want to add more to your gene pool, especially ACCOYO genetics through her cria, JACQUELINE may be just what you need.
