Tatianna is all you can ask for in a Suri. She's a big girl with outstanding conformation and GEORGOUS black fleece! She is locked to the skin with luster to spare! She has the kind of fiber that is so hard to come by in black. Her Daddy, Peruvian Silver Heat, is a magnificent medium silver grey with 10 blue ribbons, 3 Reserve Championships and 1 Color Championship! She already is a tremendous addition to our foundation females. Her own show career was something else! 4 COLOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, 5 RESERVE COLOR CHAMPIONSHIPS and 10 Blue Ribbons. We couldn't be more happy with Tatianna. Oh, wait, we could! She is bred to our 5 TIME JUDGES CHOICE CHAMPION herd sire Chakotah's Midas! To be honest, we bought Tatianna just for him. We now know that this was an outstanding decision! Her first cria is Midas' Black Ice and he is magnificent! He was in 8 shows as a Juvie and has 8 Color Championships, 8 Blue Ribbons, 1 Judges Choice and is the AOA NATIONAL SUPREME CHAMPION DARK SURI MALE. Needless to say, we will repeat the breeding in 2017 (why wouldn't we?)!

Description

This boy puts it all together with rock solid confirmation, beautiful Suri style and drop-dead gorgeous fleece. On-top of that he's a result of careful breeding choices with top lines that consistently produce outstanding Suris. We sheared him at the end of his spectacular 2016 show season and his re-growth fleece is all that we hoped for. The staple length has prompted breeders to doubt that he was ever sheared. He's very interested in the girls and he'll get to start his job in May as soon as show season concludes. Watch for his offspring in 2018 or better yet have one for yourself! He's a great option to out-cross your MacGyver line girls for color or for any situations where you're looking for a very fine, uniform fleece with fantastic density and staple length. Ice's skin biopsy was analyzed in 2017 by Dr. Norm Evans. Dr. Evans stated: “Midas Black Ice of Lunasea Farm was biopsied as a 24 month old true black Suri male. His 15x scan shows fiber clusters very uniform in shape and placement within his connective tissue. His true density is 63.25 follicles SQ MM of skin and 25 typical fiber clusters show an average S/P of 12.5 to 1. He shows level 4 of 4 gland presence and 50% of his secondary fibers show a level of medullation. 100 secondary fibers averaged 20.2 microns while 50 primary fibers averaged 28.1 microns for a spread of only 7.9 microns. Midas Black Ice AFD on July 8, 2017 figures 20.83 microns." Ice was SHIP classified in June 2017. He has perfect scores of 5 in all conformation categories. His fleece scored a perfect 5 for Uniformity of Color and Fleece Phenotype. He scored 4.5 for Luster and Lock Structure and a 4 for Fineness. Classification scores that again confirm his show ring performance. **Proudly co-owned with Lunasea Alpacas and Big Timber Alpacas ** Thank you Lucy Lee & King Fowler for making and sharing this boy with us!! Tragically Black Ice passed away in the fall of 2018. Fortunately he was able to pass on his genetics to a select group of offspring which we are treasuring in our herd.
