How many full Peruvian white males do you know that produce solid black?! Tundra is a multiple award-winning white male with great conformation, coverage and presence. To complete the package, he has an incredible fleece, with extreme character, bundling and wonderful density and is PROVEN to produce solid black offspring. Produced from the ideal match, breeding Marcela, the dam of "Show Me The Money" and "Silver Dollar", to Presidio, an outstanding Caligula son, Tundra has already produced color and his parents have produced some of the best colored alpacas in the nation. Presidio had 6 "Get of Sire" wins to his credit, and his crias had won over 50 color championships and 80 blue ribbons at Level 3+ shows by the time he was only 7 years old, firmly establishing him among the elite ranks of prepotent sires. Tundra's two maternal half-brothers, "Mo" and the grey "Silver Dollar", are both exceptional colored herdsires, renowned for throwing top-of-the-line greys. Tundra is a very high end white male, placing second in three very large, white, full-fleece halter classes, the most competitive classes of the alpaca world. His sire, Presidio, has a light fawn dam with vicuna markings from the Macusani region of Peru, whose coloring allows Presidio to pass the dam's color through to his crias. Presidio's sire is the world class Caligula, now deceased, whose exceptional bloodline is well represented on the West Coast, but not so easy to find here in the East. Presidio sheared 11.9 lbs at 5 years of age, of which 7.9 lbs was prime blanket. Tundra started breeding in Fall 2006, which was the first opportunity we had to try him with a colored female in our own herd. His first, full Peruvian crias arrived in the Fall of 2007. When we saw the color, and the fiber improvement he made on both dams, he was immediately bred to three of our best award-winning black females and one maroon, and produced both solid black and solid maroon offspring!

This award-winning 7/8 Peruvian daughter of Champion pinto herdsire, Peruvian Maverick, and our MaPaca blue ribbon-winning pinto, Fiona, is also maternal half-sister to the 2005 Virginia Classic brown female Champion, Thistledown's Myfanwy. Nola is a rare brown, black and white "tricolor" - her head, neck, body and back legs are brown, her nose, ears, eyes and gums are black, and her front legs are white. She also has two full Peruvian black grandparents (Peruvian Matador and Black Jack Jax sired by 4Peruvian Black Magic). Nola is absolutely covered with crimpy, dense, lustrous fiber, and just brimming over with presence and style. Her Champion maroon sister and her bay black cousin (sired by Patagonia's Compadre) are already foundation females in our herd, so we really should diversify our bloodlines, but can't bear to part with this girl! Nola was bred with our full Peruvian true black Champion and 2X AOBA ribbon-winning herdsire, Peruvian Knightrider, out of two black Peruvian imports - 5Peruvian Black Ice and 6Peruvian Anastasia. Her first cria, Octavius, arrived on New Year's Day 2008 (hence the name!), and is a solid maroon / recessive black, 15/16th Peruvian male with incredibly dense, crimpy, soft-handled fiber. Nola is a beautiful, Champion girl, with excellent potential to produce "a better black", and she will remain in our breeding program for the forseeable future.
