Get to know the beautiful Iris....
Iris is a rare HALF-ACCOYO TRUE BLACK dam. She is the daughter of Mr. Accoyo Sandman OIJ, a medium fawn full Accoyo son of CPeruvian Accoyo Kekae 103 IMPF98 (an import from Peru to Canada), so, as you can see, Iris offers some uncommon Accoyo bloodlines.
On her dam's side of her pedigree, Iris offers some very colorful Chilean genes, and you'll see nothing but dark shades of alpaca colorations, such as dark brown, medium brown, dark silver grey, medium silver grey, and, of course, lots of true black.
Iris is a proven dam, having produced three ARI registered cria thus far. She has not been bred since fall of 2011's delivery of her daughter, Nancy Ess Impaca (a true black and already sold without transfer). Both of her sons are offered for sale, though, and can be seen on this sales list. Do take a look at MICKEY ESS IMPACA (Light Brown) and KNIGHT NIGHT ESS IMPACA (True Black) to get an idea of what this female can produce.
According to the Tuccillo Farm Manager, Shirley Vaughn, Iris is "a good breeder and has good mothering qualities." She also notes that Iris' "crias are a bit smaller in body size" than most others, but they definitely catch up and are normal in stature and health, as well.
Shirley went on to say that "Iris has a good temperament," and in one word describes Iris' attitude as "unconcerned." This tells me Iris is confident and secure in nature.
Iris's 2012 shearing provided a yield of 4.5 lbs + a 2.5 lb blanket, for 7 lbs total, which isn't bad for a 6 year old production dam.
Iris is worth serious consideration - don't you agree?
