Sire: Peruvian Presidio
839309<--ari-->White<--color-->Full Peruvian
Presidio is perhaps the finest-producing son of Accoyo Caligula, and his dam, 3Peruvian Senna, is a fawn from the Solocotta region of Peru. He now has 6 "Get of Sire" wins to his credit. At last count his crias had over 45 color championships and 80 blue ribbons, and Presidio is only 6 years of age.
Presidio's fleece combines deep amplitude crimp, incomparable brightness, density and staple length. He sheared over 11.9 punds of fleece at fourth shearing with a 7.9 pound blanket. He consistently passes his heavy bone, correct structure, perfect bite and reproductive capacity to his kids.
He now has over 60 crias on the ground in nearly all colors, including black, rose grey, silver grey, dark brown, fawn and white. All carry his strong genotype.<--description-->
Dam: Pperuvian Marcela
839309<--ari-->White<--color-->Full Peruvian
Marcela's crias are all high end. She has produced 2 well known herdsires so far - Silver Dollar (out of The Silversmith) and Show Me The Money (out of Royal Fawn) and several outstanding females. Her newest male cria out of the recently deceased Vic Jr. is curly, curly. She is currently bred to Accoyo Yupanqui for an accoyo/alianza combination.<--description-->
Description
How many full Peruvian white males do you know that produce solid black?! Tundra is a multiple award-winning white male with great conformation, coverage and presence. To complete the package, he has an incredible fleece, with extreme character, bundling and wonderful density and is PROVEN to produce solid black offspring. Produced from the ideal match, breeding Marcela, the dam of "Show Me The Money" and "Silver Dollar", to Presidio, an outstanding Caligula son, Tundra has already produced color and his parents have produced some of the best colored alpacas in the nation. Presidio had 6 "Get of Sire" wins to his credit, and his crias had won over 50 color championships and 80 blue ribbons at Level 3+ shows by the time he was only 7 years old, firmly establishing him among the elite ranks of prepotent sires. Tundra's two maternal half-brothers, "Mo" and the grey "Silver Dollar", are both exceptional colored herdsires, renowned for throwing top-of-the-line greys.
Tundra is a very high end white male, placing second in three very large, white, full-fleece halter classes, the most competitive classes of the alpaca world. His sire, Presidio, has a light fawn dam with vicuna markings from the Macusani region of Peru, whose coloring allows Presidio to pass the dam's color through to his crias. Presidio's sire is the world class Caligula, now deceased, whose exceptional bloodline is well represented on the West Coast, but not so easy to find here in the East. Presidio sheared 11.9 lbs at 5 years of age, of which 7.9 lbs was prime blanket. Tundra started breeding in Fall 2006, which was the first opportunity we had to try him with a colored female in our own herd. His first, full Peruvian crias arrived in the Fall of 2007. When we saw the color, and the fiber improvement he made on both dams, he was immediately bred to three of our best award-winning black females and one maroon, and produced both solid black and solid maroon offspring!
