Sabra's full sister - Skyview Stargazer - was very successful in the show ring, earning 2 Championships! Sabra did not get the chance to equal her sister's show record, but Champions run in this family - Let Sabre produce a couple for you! This lovely black female has been a key producer for Green Vale Alpacas. She has excellent conformation, a good bite and a nice head. Sabra is the kind of alpaca we all like to see grazing in our fields, a good mom - and she has the ability to produce BOTH show ring winners and luxurious fiber. She looks just like her Champion full sister. Her fiber is uniformly crimpy with a wonderfully soft, fine hand. It shines with blue highlights, and even at her age, Sabra has almost no light fibers in her fleece, which is very uncommon for older black alpacas. Owners Hidden Pasture Alpacas of NJ on Sabra's FULL SISTER, Skyeview Stargazer: "How many ways can you say 'WOW!'? Stargazer is a true black beauty that did exceptionally well during her show career. Stargazer is one of our treasures. We fell in love with her at an alpaca show and just couldn't get her off our mind. We eventually purchased her and had a great time in the show ring for the next season. The word to describe Stargazer is stylish. She is a classic huacaya alpaca with a white quality fleece in midnight black. She is sired by Skyeview's Samson, a medium silver grey Bueno line herdsire, and is out of a beige Peruvian import that consistently produced winning offspring. Stargazer's fleece is lovely, with a very soft handle and excellent fineness. She still has a micron of 21.1 at the age of 4 years with a total shear weight of 7.7 pounds in 2008. She is conformationally very correct with a level topline, staight legs, and an elegant stylish huacaya head. $35,000." http://hiddenpasturesalpacas.com/index.php?option=com_adsmanager&page=show_ad&adid=99&catid=17&Itemid=2 At only $1,500, Sabra may be the best bargain you will find in a true BLACK female! Her price is so low only because she is no longer a youngster, but she is vigorously healthy and should produce several wonderful crias for you.

Description

From a Champion sire, Darla has a strong pedigree. Darla is a great mother with good bone and a sweet personality. She is 'pretty as a picture' in your pasture - and will produce ciras to be proud of. Get a 'rainbow' of alpaca colors! Registered as beige, Darla is almost a light fawn, with the color pattern ('varigated' and darker along the topline, shading to a white belly) that top grey breeder, Dr. Neil Padgett of A Paca Fun Farm in Maryland, says tends to produce grey. A Paca Fun has produced numerous Champion greys over the past 14 years, so we tend to trust Dr. Padgett's opinion. According to Dr. Andy Merriwhether PhD, a geneticist and alpaca breeder, Darla carries the black gene from her mom, and will produce black. Other experienced breeders say you can expect the full spectrum of alpaca colors from a female like Darla (depending on which male she is bred to, of course). Pedigree: This pedigree is full of color. Darla's sire, CB Basillio is a son of 4Peruvian Wira Cocha and out of daughter of Kenamori Gold - two males retained by Earlah Swift for Mariah Alpacas. Along with 4Peruvian White Wizzard and PPP Inca, these males were the kingpin's of the Mariah Alpacas herd. Basillio's dam, PPPeruvian Gigi, well known for her exceptional beauty, was one of the best producers for the Mariah herd. Darla's dam is the beautiful BLACK Skyeview Sabra, full sister to the stunning 2X Champion Skyeview Stargazer. Sabra has produced some lovely crias for Green Vale, with soft-as-silk fleeces. Most of Sabra's crias have been 'black black': true 'jet-black' non-fading with no other colors in the blankets. Darla has an interesting pattern that suggests that she would easily produce grey offspring! With a true black dam, the color possibilites with Darla are endless...
