AOA #849905 | DOB: 9/17/2003 (21 yrs)
Sire: Aussie Rockford
849905<--ari-->Medium Silver Grey<--color-->1/2 Chilean, 1/2 Peruvian
Rockford is a prepotent herdsire of national renown and available for very limited outside breedings. He is an eyecatching half-Accoyo silver grey with excellent conformation, substantial bone and an exceptional fleece -- dense, crimpy and fine, with defined lock structure and sheen. He has a very beautiful head, proud presence, and a wonderful temperament.
He has passed his remarkable phenotype on to most of his youngsters, and many have gone on to become Champions and ribbon winners in their own right. In the first half of 2004, at AOBA Nationals, Alpaca Affaire Northwest, MaPaca, AWE and Alpacapalooza his youngsters have had the distinction of winning 5 Championships, 1 Reserve Championship, 10 Firsts, 6 Seconds and 3 Third Places (and maybe more that we don't know about!).
He is truly one of a kind.
Rockford is fully booked for Spring 2005 and his schedule is filling for the Fall. We encourage you to schedule your<--description-->
Dam: Peaceful Valley Priya
849905<--ari-->Medium Rose Grey<--color-->Peruvian & Chilean
Peaceful Valley Priya, is a top quality, half-accoyo silver grey female sired by Ppperuvian Yupanqui, and a winner of multiple blue ribbons. Her offspring are in demand before they even hit the ground! To give some indication of her quality, Barbara Skolnick of Peaceful Valley Alpacas purchased Aussie Rockford as a junior herdsire specifically to breed with Priya, as they couldn't find a grey male of sufficient quality elsewhere to match with this girl...<--description-->
Description
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.
