Sadly Sonora along with her unborn cria was killed in a July 2015 dog attack on our farm. Many of her off-spring are successfully working in our herd but we miss her terribly. We are leaving her listing on our page as a reference dam for many of our foundation animals.
Sonora was selected to join our foundation herd because of her elite fleece and stong production record. She's a powerhouse genetic package and undoubtedly one of the highest quality fawn suris in the U.S. Her show record speaks for itself with championships in the largest shows in the country.
In addition to exceptional fleece, conformation, and solid production, Sonora has another trait that is extremely important at Dakini - a sweet, easy going personality. Who knew she was also a clown that would keep us constantly entertained with her antics! Her first two cria, 2007's Golden Nugget and 2008's Bend it Like Mecklem, both by Apache, exhibit the same stunning fleece and sweet, confident personality that makes Sonora a joy to work with. Her 2009 female cria "E.T" is a med fawn stunner who did very well in the show-ring. In 2010, Sonora delivered a high luster white & fawn multi male by Blazen Saddle JAX who exhibits al of the outstanding phenotypic character of Sonora in white.
Mecklem produced a beautiful true black female, Dakini Chindi, who is now one of our foundation girls.
Sonora's 2011 cria Dakini Aventyr is a gorgeous male with amazing coverage and luster, by PCAF Accoyo Kaden, an outstanding full Accoyo beige Kalvin son. Aventyr is working in our herd now with great results.
Sonora delivered a bounder of a boy by Wyuna on July 20, 2014 exactly on her due date. Channeling his grandsire, Dakini Fiery Cross sports a dense and lustrous fleece in a beautiful light brown. Now proudly co-owned with Wings & a Prayer Alpacas, he had a very successful show season in 2015. Following in his mother's footsteps he won a 1st place at Alpacapalooza, 2nd at Futurity, 1st and Reserve at GWAS and 1st and Champion at CABA. We can't wait to get this boy working in our herd!
Sonora is due in July 2015 with a cria by our own Dakini Kokatahee, sire of Dakini Echo in the Bone who is easily one of the best crib we've ever produced. Kokatahee's 2015 fleece weighed 8.2 pounds and is exceptional in fineness, luster and uniformity. We are anxiously awaiting the birth of this new edition in Sonora's line.
