Champion Producing Foundation Dam
Peaceful Valley Grace 
Alpaca, Huacaya, Bred (Female) | True Black
AOA #830051 | DOB: 6/22/2001 (23 yrs) (Due Date: 8/17/2011)
Sire: Michelangelo
830051<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Michelangelo is a PPeruvian Guellermo son bred & raised on the West Coast who sold to a prestigious farm on the east coast. Michelangelo has proven himself to be a producer of many show stopping offspring.<--description-->
Dam: Peaceful Valley Celina
830051<--ari-->Bay Black<--color-->Celina is a PPPeruvian Yupanqui daughter, and consistently produces award winning offspring.<--description-->
Service Sire: Xanadu After Hours
830051<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Meet Xanadu After Hours. Perfect phenotype and classic pedigree describe this stunning proven male. He's a wonderful combination of elite fleece (Caligula bloodline) and generations of color.
The judges agree with our assessment of his potential with 3 times 1st Place and Reserve Champion, 1st Place at 2005 GWAS, 2nd Place at AAA Futurity, and 2nd Place at 2005 AOBA Nationals. He is a stunning boy with an amazing temperament.
Now with over 30 cria on the ground it is clear that After Hours is delivering in the breeding barn. We can safely say (as safe as genetic predictions can be) that After Hours is consistently producing cookie cutter replica's of himself. From deep black & grey color & pedigree he has produced black or grey in 11 of the 12 black & grey dams bred to him. Females that bring other colors both in phenotype & genotype he tends to let the dam's color come through. He has produced gorgeous maroons & fawns with excellent fleece character and high frequency crimp.
One thing for sure. His kids have his boxy true-to-type huacaya frame, substantial bone & stunning head all covered in crimpy, dense, bundled fleece. His offspring that have been shown have represented their owners well. The latest is our own Bellatrix taking 1st in both conformation and fleece at the 2009 AROW Composite show & snagging the Color Championship in a combined class of Blacks & Browns and Reserve Championship at 2010 PNAA out of 25 blacks.

Description
Grace is in a class of her own. This is the female that defined our breeding program. Her offspring are always the top of our show string.
She is a spectacular true black female with solid bone, excellent balanced conformation, and a stunning classic head. Shiny black, broad crimp, and wonderful handle define her fleece, a tribute to the Accoyo line. Grandsires Ppperuvian Yupanqui, and Guellermo provide the solid foundation. Her dam is Peaceful Valley Celina, a ½ Accoyo true black out of a Maroon dam. Her sire, Michelangelo, is a phenomenal black male who passes on his conformation, fleece quality, incredible presence. Grace displays elegance in presence, movement, and attitude that are rare.
Grace's 2003 cria, Steele Magnolia, sired by Aussie Rockford is a gorgeous medium grey female who gathered many blues, a reserve color champion and Color Champion at the level V AWE as a yearling.
Grace's 2004 cria, Stonyridge Capella is also sired by Rockford, and followed her big sister's footsteps earning blues in the show ring.
Grace delivered a true black female, Carina, in Sept. '05 sired by Patagonia's Compadre, a typey male with excellent conformation presence, and dense, crimpy true black fleece. Carina also earned her share of the limelight in her juvenile show year, and was sold as a weanling.
Her repeat breeding to Aussie Rockford produced a stunning silver male, Perseus, in '06 who won two blues in fleece spin-offs.
Grace produced a true black male in '07 from her breeding to Peruvian Black Epic, and her '08 After Hours cria is a lovely true black female. Given her successful Rockford kids, her '09 Rockford daughter, Arista is a happy addition.
Grace & her kids possess an elusive slick hand to their fleeces that spinners absolutely love.
Grace produced a striking mahogany male in '10 from her Vermeer (light fawn) breeding. Given the awesome '08 cria, Bellatrix, from her pairing with After Hours, we have bred her back to him for her 2011 cria. Can anyone say repeat performance?
