Dark Silver Gray Suri!
LUNA ROSA'S Blackheart
Alpaca, Suri, Herdsire (Male) | Dark Silver Grey
AOA #1168334 | DOB: 8/16/2006 (18 yrs)
Sire: Bril Creme
1168334<--ari-->True Black & Wh<--color-->If you want black, FINE, FINE TRUE BLACK, this is the male for you! At his 2nd shearing benchmark (which most represents his genetic potential), age 2 1/2, he was an amazing 17.1 microns! And at age 5 1/2, he was still very, very fine -- an incredible 18.5 microns!!!! We had his 2008 fiber graded by a NAAFP certified fiber grader and he made the elite top fineness grade-under 20 microns! AT AGE 8 1/2 !!!! And, this with BLACK genetics. With 100% suri cria!
Bril Creme's sire is the great true black Bolivian Highlander owned by Alpacas of America, and leased by Andy Tillman.
Bril Creme has produced 100% Suri offspring (about 30 and counting). When bred to black, he produces black offspring -- with incredible low micron counts and awesome luster.

Dam: Roze of Sharon (Cher)
1168334<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Cher is a glossy true black suri - a real attention-getter. Her sire is the famous Fruzane Noir. All of her crias have been black/gray with flashy looks and nice glossy fleece. She is an excellent producer and has had nine crias - all suris. Cher is one our finest: in 2008 her fleece was graded as micron range 20-22 -- AND THIS WAS HER 9TH FLEECE -- and she is true black. This is incredible! <--description-->
Description
BlackHeart was entered in four shows as a juvenile in 2007 and placed 1st or 2nd each time, under four different judges, at mostly Level 5 and Level 4 shows, the highest, most competitive level!
BlackHeart has inherited his sire's uniform fine TWISTED PENCIL LOCKS and superb suri charter, and his dam's LUSTER-LUSTER-LUSTER. His first fiber analysis came back at 20.4 AFD - and this is a gray alpaca! Most whites aren't this fine . . . At his third shearing in 2009 his micron is still an incredibly low 21.0 AFD, 5.8 SD.
We are expecting BlackHeart to stay fine as his sire was 18.5 AFD at age 5 1/2! And at age 8 1/2 his sire made the NAAFP elite top fineness grade, under 20 microns. . . and this with BLACK GENETICS, not white! His dam is likewise very fine -- her 9th fleece was still 20-22 microns! We have selected for fineness for over 10 years and we anticipate using his fineness to take our breeding program to the next level.
The crias are starting - take a look at the pictures - the first cria is a gorgeous solid mahogany color with long, fine, high luster silky locks, from a solid brown dam. Just look at those locks. We think this is one of our finest cria ever!!! Already sold.
Cria number two is a lovely SOLID DARK SILVER GRAY! Yep - Island Dream's a modern silver gray with no white marks! And locks and luster to die for. We couldn't be more pleased! LOOK AT HER NECK . . .and she's GRAY! This cria is AMAZING.
Several more are on the ground now - ALL SUPERIOR CRIAS - 14 cria and counting!
He seems to be passing on his fineness, high luster, long staple length and gray . . . and is producing a majority of solid colored cria. ALL SURI CRIA. AND THE CRIA ARE GETTING INCREDIBLE TIGHT TWISTED LOCKS.
