True black from two true black parents, Jag carries color genetics deep with black and grey. In addition to the rich black color, his fiber has wonderful hand and architecture...a fabulous combination! We purchased Jag to be the perfect complement to daughters coming from our three champion colored herdsires, Snowmass King Crimson, Lace's Peruvian Black Lance,and Avalon's Peruvian Granger. We've already seen the outstanding daughters coming from Crimson and Lance, so we knew we had to find a male worthy of them. We believe Jag is the answer. Unfortunately, Jag was not shown as a juvenile. Tucked away in a back pasture of a large farm, Jag went unnoticed. Well, that has changed! Since we purchased Jag, we have been eager to get him into the showring. He "came home" in early March 2007 and, as a yearling, had his first experience with a halter and lead. Only days later he was in his first show. Jag gained confidence and it has shown in the ring. He glides and prances as he enters the ring, capturing the judges' attention. NOTE! Jag came into his own at the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival where he was chosen as the 1st Place True Black Yearling Male. Judge Jude Anderson then selected him as the Black Color Champion, noting that his fleece was the "finest with good crimp, and lock, even from skin to tip, well covered, conformationally sound with great style"! If you are looking to find a top quality, true black male to breed to your girls, this is definitely a male you'll want to check out. Visit us and see for yourself.

2009 Update: Beautiful dark brown female cria, Avalon's Jamaica Rose, by Our Black Jag Avalon's Amber Rose was selected by Judge Charlene Friedman as the 2006 AOBA NATIONAL SHOW BROWN FEMALE COLOR CHAMPION, making Amber a 7X Color Champion! Judge Friedman said of Amber, "Excellent proportion & substance...the finest in the class. She commanded my attention. It was hard to take my eyes off her!" Wow...that says it all! Amber Rose is the daughter of our fabulous grey foundation female, Sugar Rose and our premier fawn herdsire, AFA Royal Peruvian Aristocrat. Years ago we sold a female cria from this match to Sleeping Monk Farm in New Hampshire. When that female, Avalon's Laurel Rose, went on to win multiple blue ribbons at shows in the East, we promised ourselves that we would repeat that special match in the hope of getting a female just like "Rosie" that we could keep to take her dam's place in our herd. We finally did, and Amber is the result! Amber's bright dark brown, almost bay black, fiber has crimp from skin to tip. Her conformation is excellent. This is the real deal...a total package. We have enjoyed taking her to shows where we could show her off. She's definitely an attention getter and is proving now to be one of our most valuable foundation females...just like her dam!
