31082204<--ari-->Medium Silver Grey<--color-->One of the greatest pleasures that you can have when raising alpacas is to have your efforts rewarded by a cria that surpasses the good qualities of both his sire and dam. Such is the case with A Paca Fun's Inspector Clouseau. Among his other awards, Clouseau was the 2003 AOBA MSG huacaya juvi blue ribbon winner. He has a dozen cria to date, all but 2 are tuxedo gray.<--description-->

What can I say - when Dee Sousa ran up to me at the bar at the 2011 Futurity and said "wanna go in on Iron!!!" how could I say NO... and so the story began - we had the winning bid and we took this little weanling home with us. His full sister sold that day for over $80,000.... we KNEW we had a winner - we just had to wait while he grew up. And grow up he did - winning a number of championships along the way including a sweep at IAO 2012 winning the Grey Male COMMERCIAL Halter Championship and Reserve Grey Male COTTAGE Fleece Championship - A fleece good for BOTH divisions!! And THIS YEAR SPINNERS DREAM IAO 2013 - The top award in the Cottage Fleece division!
So yeah - he has WON a whole rack of ribbons for us, but really? What I am excited about is his fantastic fineness and the consistency of that fineness thru out his fleece and colored fibers - they are ALL fine... beautiful hand, stocky bone, BEST HEAD IAO 2011!! so yeah - really nice head too.. and all that color... and all those ever so famous ancestors - what a pedigree this boy has - very deep - very proven.. I simply can't wait to get MY first offspring on the ground - he is going to ROCK our colored huacaya breeding program.
Check out his pedigree, look over his winnings.. if you had a chance to get look at his fleece while he was on our show string! Well you KNOW its good.

Description
Espoir is a beautiful medium silver grey female with strong grey genetics. She is 4th generation grey, and seven out of ten of her ancestors are grey! She has good confirmation, ample coverage and great staple length.
As a foundation female Espoir delivers! Espoir has had three tux grey female crias, all with quality fleece. Espoir is an easy birther and an even better mom with lots of milk. She is kind and gentle, and a joy to have in our herd.
Espoir's first cria Eowyn is a gorgeous rose-grey girl who has done well in the ring.
Espoir's second cria, Silver Sage, is a beautiful silver grey girl with awesome density and crimp.
