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.

Sells with a FREE breeding. Primera is never to be overlooked. Her 2011 son, Phillippe, will convince you! Primera is a daughter of the famous, light silver grey Peruvian MACUSANI [ARI #117916] of WoodsEdge and the daughter of medium fawn 6Peruvian Good Fortune [ARI #811892]. Like her sire, she is a beautiful silver grey with excellent conformation. Gentle-natured, Primera conceives easily and was bred three times to a wonderful, fawn herd sire, Napoleon de LaCroix [6Peruvian Romantico son], producing two fawn daughters and a son, PHILLIPPE, a vigorous and handsome ROSE GREY/fawn son with long, lustrous, fine fleece! Based on the grey in the top knot of one of her beautiful daughters, the markings on her son, and her grey and black ancestry [her grand dam: dark silver grey; her half-sister: black], I am confident that she will produce grey or black if bred to grey or black. Her crias exhibit fine fleeces, beautiful heads, and great personalities! In 2012, she was bred to Rainbow Mountain MOOONTRAXX {"Traxx"} [5Peruvian Quicksilver/CPeruvian Jaxon/PPeruvian Demetrio/Peruvian Maximus] of Peaceful Pasture Alpacas [Curt & De Ruth]. Traxx, an award winner, has it all: fine, fine BLACK fleece; crimp; density; conformation. On September 18, 2013, Primera produced the beautiful, black TRAXX daughter, Priscilla, pictured on the right! Priscilla looks a lot like her sire but does have more coverage in black fiber than TRAXX does. For 2015, w have bred Primera to MOJITO [see his web page], sire of grey offspring. With her percentage of female production [75%] and his ability to sire grey, we look forward to the outcome!
