Description
If you know Gem-stone, then you know she ranks right up there with Caligula. She is meant to be owned by one of the BEST breeders in the country.
Gem has won 25 Ribbons in 8 Shows! She is a 6X White Color Champion, 1 Reserve Championship, 8 blue ribbons, and many specialty ribbons, including 5X Best Huacaya Crimp award (including 2007 Nationals) and 3X Judge's Choice (including the Ohio AlpacaFest 2007).
2007 Precious Gem's Golden Jubilee - a beautiful light fawn female cria sired by SuperNova's Quattro. To date, she's been shown twice, taking the Color Champion and Reserve Color Champion ribbons.
2008 - Precious Gem's Vintage Topaz - WOW, a gorgeous dark fawn male cria! Dense with phenomenal staple, and curls up to his nose and thru his top top knot. Shown twice, taking First Place both times and Color Champion too.
2009 - Dupioni's Vintage Troubadour - Look Out! He's full of skin folds and what an awesome head! Gem x Dupioni made an excellent cria. This boy is going places for sure.
2010 Gem x Stratosphere - a gorgeous female that we named "Stratosphere's Sanita." Watch for her in the Winner's Circle. Sanita sold recently and is on her way to her new home.
2011 "HUA El Ninos Precious Gem's BoDiddly" - another winner for sure.
