Rockstar's Peruvian Paloma has it all. We purchased her from Mary and Kirk Evans at TPC auction. She is awesome and we are thrilled to have her in our Great Lakes foundation herd. She was shown three times in 2006 and was Color Champion at all three shows ( AAA Futurity, Ohio Buckeye Show & OABA Alpacafest).Her last show before retiring to be shorn and become a mom was the 2007 AAA Futurity, where she won Color Champion, once again. Her first cria was a beautiful rose grey little girl, GLR Picassa, sired by Platinum Marquis bought at the TPC auction by Cindy Harris and Doug Fieg of Alpacas at Windy Hill. GLR Picassa, as a juvenile was 3rd at the 2008 AAA Futurity, 1st and Reserve Grey Female Color Champion at MAPACA 2008, the biggest alpaca show in the nation and 1st and Reserve Grey Female Champion at the 2008 AOBA Nationals in Sandy Utah. Paloma's 2008 cria, GLR Pomona, is a stunning dark brown Synergy daughter, sold to Mike and Janet Wilkins at our Great Lake Classic Sale in 2009. Her 2009 cria is a super greasy, incredibly dense dark copper colored male, with a 15.8 micron count, GLR Picasso, who made his debut at the AAA Futurity and GWAS, at just 6 months old and won Reserve Brown Male Color Champion at both shows. He is co-owned now with Airell and Gretchen Nygaard of Eventyrgaard Alpacas in Sonora, CA. Paloma had another copper colored Shavano son, GLR Pablo in 2010 who was the 2012 Brown Color Champion, now breeding and available for sale. Paloma's Shavano son in 2011, GLR Paulo did well in the show ring in 2012. Her 2013 son GLR Painter, a Rastamon son was purchased by Marty and Mary Raynor and will be standing stud at M and M Alpaca Farm in North Carolina. In 2014 Paloma had a Cinders son GLR Pastor who looks to be turning bay black and coming along nicely. She is bred back to CInders and expecting in September 2015.
