AOA# 831944DOB: 6/8/200123 yrs
This young dam has already produced 2 outstanding black daughters, the award-winning Ishbel and Iona, who can both be viewed here on Alpacanation. The only reason Hisami is available for sale is that we are keeping both of her girls for our own herd, so need to diversify our genetics. Hisami is a beautiful true black daughter of Danko, possibly the top grey herdsire in the nation, whose offspring have set auction price records and taken ribbons in every showring. She has extremely fine (20.3 AFD), soft-handled, non-fading true black fleece, comes from a solid black and grey lineage and is an excellent mother and milker. Her dam is a "blue black" Macintosh daughter selected from the Alpacas de la Patagonia herd, with two generations of black in her background and a micron of 24.4 at 4 years of age. Hisami has great coverage, a lovely typey head, good conformation and a perfect (never trimmed) bite. In November 2003 she gave birth to Ishbel, an award-winning bay black (now turning dark silver/dark rose grey) daughter sired by El R Peruvian Luciano, a rose grey son of Peruvian Platinum. In November 2004 she produced Iona, a magnificent, 20lb jet black daughter of CPeruvian Axtion Jaxon, the outstanding champion black herdsire. Iona is not included in this price! Hisami sells bred to our Champion silver grey herdsire, Ben MacDhui, with free board until Iona is weaned in the Spring of 2005. Hisami delivers the superfine blacks everyone is looking for, Dhui is renowned for his density and has produced only black and grey offspring to date, so this cria should be spectacular - don't miss this rare opportunity!

HuacayaHerdsire (Male)Dark Silver Grey
AOA# 849905DOB: 9/17/200321 yrs
Nikos is an exceptional, half-accoyo, showy son of the renowned silver grey herdsire Aussie Rockford. Nikos is also out of one of the top quality grey females in the nation, Peaceful Valley Priya. Rockford is a half-accoyo son of Pperuvian Felix (deceased) and Priya is a half-accoyo daughter of Pperuvian Yupanqui (deceased), and both of Nikos' parents are highly regarded winners of numerous blue ribbons. Nikos has outstanding conformation, a well-shaped beautiful head, extreme coverage and a dense topknot. His fleece is very, very fine and bright, with good architecture and a gorgeous dark silver grey color. He has well-defined narrow crimp throughout his fiber - all the way up his neck and into his topknot. Nikos is one of the most eye-catching and stylish grey males we have ever seen, with fantastic conformation, coverage, presence, movement and superb fiber. He has three Championships and nine blue ribbons to his credit, even though he has only set foot in a showring three times in his life! The rose grey Avatar son who was Reserve Champion to Nikos at the VA Classic, went on to win Reserve Champion at the prestigious Futurity in 2005, which gives you some idea of the quality of this male... His first crias arrived in Fall 2007 - one solid true black, one true black with a white face - and his 2008 son out of a black dam appears to be a rare dark-pointed roan! Proven to hold fineness and handle over time, Nikos offers excellent quality in colored fiber and rare Accoyo ancestry. His genetics will only be available through his offspring for the forseeable future, and we are currently offering a dark brown 7/8 Peruvian Champion female, Holly, bred with Nikos for her May 2009 cria, either as a 3-in-1, or as part of our "Six for $36,000" package.

Description

Luciano's Ishbel arrived the week before Hurricane Isabel, hence her name, which is the Scottish form of Isabel. This half-Peruvian bombshell is a Danko & Platinum granddaughter, and has inherited four generations of world class grey and black ancestry from her dam, Hisami. A lovely, black Danko daughter, Hisami has extremely fine (20.3 AFD), soft-handled fleece, great coverage, a nice typey head, and has proven to be a wonderful mother. Ishbel's sire is El R Peruvian Luciano, a full Peruvian medium rose grey son of the renowned Peruvian Platinum (deceased). Luciano had an adult micron count of 19.3 and 2.3% of fibers over 30 at his 3rd shearing. His density and handle are excellent, he has a full topknot on a true to type huacaya head and a calm temperament with great presence. Luciano won blue ribbons at the 2003 International Alpaca Odyssey, the 2002 Southwest Regional Alpaca Show, and the 2002 Calpaca Regional Show. Ishbel's maternal grandsire is Danko, one of the top grey herdsires in the country, whose offspring have set auction price records and taken ribbons in every showring. He is a phenomenal herdsire with outstanding coverage and conformation and an AFD of 21.4 at 2 1/2 years of age. Mia, Ishbel's maternal granddam, is a "blue black" Macintosh daughter who remains black all the way to the tips of her fleece. Selected from the Alpacas de la Patagonia herd for her exceptionally strong, straight, dense-boned conformation, Mia has nice luster and a fine, soft handled fleece, with a micron of 24.4 at 4 years of age. Ishbel has exceptional fineness and a wonderful high frequency, low amplitude crimp to her fiber, which is now turning dark silver/dark rose grey. With her wonderful typey head, excellent coverage, and proud, upright presence, Ishbel has already earned herself a place in our foundation herd, as well as our hearts!
