AOA# 30037430DOB: 5/9/200519 yrs
RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION!! 3/8ths Accoyo!! From the breeding program of Amanda VandenBosch, Captain BlackFoot is a genetic stronghold. He has the famed Captain Morgan as his sire, and his dam, Samsara, is a beautiful Accoyo Ganador daughter. He is absolutely straight and correct in his conformation with excellent balance and exquisite very fine and lustrous mahogany colored locks with dark points. He has outstanding presence, a wooly face and amazing coverage. He is sure to add these qualities to your crias. Captain BlackFoot won Reserve Brown Grand Champion at the prestigious International Alpaca Odyssey and placed 4th in tough competition at the AOBA National. At 17 months, Captain BlackFoot was breeding. Early sire maturation means early daughter maturation! BlackFoot's first cria, Painted Black is AMAZING. He has it all...from his coal black color, extreme luster, great bone and correct conformation, and tight locks from his topknot to his toes. Blackfoot passes color (including true black), marvelous luster, well-formed flat locking, and excellent conformation to his many crias. Captain Blackfoot is now co-owned with Sonia Marygold of Tanglewood Suri Alpacas--check out her website and OpenHerd listing for more information about Blackfoot's crias. This just in: The Champion Dark Male Suri AND Reserve Champion Dark Male Suri at the 2014 SouthWestRegional Alpaca Show were BOTH sons of Captain Blackfoot! Way to go, Blackfoot! Blackfoot is co-owned with Tanglewood Suri Alpacas in Agua Dulce, Southern California. He is at Derwydd Alpacas in Esparto, CA but will be moving to Alpacas of Marin in the north San Francisco Bay area by the time of this breeding. Check out his other progeny at Tanglewood's website, or at: www.openherd.com/alpacas-for-sale/41000/fda-captain-blackfoot.

Description

Diana Timmerman raved over him at AlpacaMania... And the Australian judge, Peter Kennedy (he knows his black suris!) loved him at the California Classic. And 2 international judges dithered over him in TOUGH competition in Commercial Halter at the International Alpaca Odyssey in 2013! (see below for the 2014 results...!) Our Obsidian Marquis is just a magnificent specimen (and he knows it...) Obsidian has grown into a well-proportioned male with strong bone and a perfect head. His lustrous fleece has lovely locking with "beading" on the neck. Heads turn when he passes by---and why not? Look at his genetics: his dam, (a MAPACA Champion) GLR Chask'a is the Medium Silver GREY daughter of Platinum Marquis; and his dark brown sire Captain Blackfoot took a Grand Championship at the International Alpaca Odyssey in 2004, AND he's known for passing on black and luster to his progeny. So, what will it be from Obsidian--black or GREY progeny?? THIS JUST IN---Obsidian was awarded the Color Championship at the SouthWest Regional Alpaca Show by none other than Amanda VandenBosch! She loved his solid, balanced frame and eye-catching, very black lustrous fleece with locking to the skin. He truly is "the whole package!" EVEN BETTER--Obsidian took COLOR CHAMPION in COMMERCIAL HALTER at the International Alpaca Odyssey 2014! "...I'm too sexy for my halter...too sexy for my pasture...too sexy for my lead...." Obsidian Marquis has moved to his new digs at Alpacas of Marin, north of San Francisco. He is the sweetest guy--we just love him, and he knows it!
