Royal Riptide is what we all breed for in grey. He has extreme density and extreme fineness, which is complimented by his very well defined, consistent crimp. He is conformationally sound, and has exceptional bone. He is also a rare alpaca due to the fact that he is 3/4 accoyo. There are not many tuxedo silver grey alpacas out there with that amount of accoyo in their background.
Royal Riptide is a genetic powerhouse. Anyone serious about breeding alpacas will recognize his sire full accoyo Royal Fawn. Some would argue that no other alpaca in the country has had as much impact on the industry as PPPeruvian Royal Fawn. His progeny boast 108 known champions and 329 blue ribbons in every solid color group. PPPeruvian Royal Fawn was the 1999 and 2000 "Get-of-Sire" winner at the AOBA National Show, and record breaking highest selling male in alpaca history in October, 2005. On ARI, Royal Fawn has 450 registered offspring. Including Royal Riptide only ten are grey. His dam is our 4 time fleece champ Gracy. Gracy is a phenomenal example of a high quality grey animal. She has tons of crimp and fineness. She proved her worth by winning the color championship at Mapaca and the Green Mountain Fall Alpaca Spectacular for her fleece!!!! Her score for the fleece show was an 87% out of 100!!! Also, she took a reserve banner for her fleece at Aoba nationals! Her stats read like a high quality white animal!!! She showed at the NJ Alpaca Show and Sale and Judge Wade Gease exclaimed that her fleece was "terribly exciting" and "you don't normally see this kind of fleece even in a white animal!" Gracy's genetics are incredible. They include MSA Peruvian Brunello, PCA Spartacus, Peruvian Camillio, MSA Peruvian Accoyo Santino, Peruvian Hemmingway, Peruvian Dracula, Aussie Rockford, Peruvian Felix, and the Silversmith. Does a pedigree really get any better? It's safe to say that he is a rare color for the genetics he carries.
Special thanks to Nancy and everyone at Double "O" Good Alpacas for donating this breeding to the Mapaca vet program, and all of the FREE help and direction they've given us, we really do appreciate it.
