Sire: CRUSADER, Archimedes Vintage
35301615<--ari-->Medium Rose Grey<--color-->“Half ACCOYO, 1/2 PERUVIAN, 1/2 CHILEAN, MAPACA Color Champion, and ROSE GREY PERFECTION! What a great combination of fawn [sire] and grey [dam] genetics! CRUSADER’s fleece is loaded with density, crimp and brightness... almost like a platinum sheen! AOA judge Mary Reed of Chagrin Valley Alpacas, estimated his micron at 14-16 microns and said that there was absolutely NO guard hair in the sample that she pulled to inspect! Even in 2011, CRUSADER fleece is showing retained crimp.
In addition, CRUSADER has NO spots -- NONE!! His feet are white as is his forehead, grey ears, then rose grey throughout. CRUSADER also has big, thick, heavy legs and very large feet with fiber all the way to the toes!
And CRUSADER is a female producer and has sire many duplicates of himself in medium ROSE GREY!
CRUSADER’s sire is the FULL ACCOYO FAWN macho, Accoyo ARCHIMEDES.
CRUSADER’s dam is DONA Savia Tolst, a medium SILVER GREY, who is a 2 time AOBA champion in both fleece and halter and has produced 4 outstanding male offspring, all of herd sire quality! Of course his sire and dam have been re-bred for a repeat performance! Check out his full sister, CRYSTAL, the AOBA Juvenile ROSE GREY female Blue Ribbon Winner! ??Still not convinced? Check out SILVER STERLING, who is CRUSADER’s half brother out of DONA Savia Tolst. STERLING is a knock out show-winner in Silver Grey and producer of several Color Champions and many Blue Ribbon offspring!” ?

AOA# 30626010DOB: 11/2/200816 yrs
SYDNEY has produced a series of wonderful grey crias! In 2012, medium silver grey Lord NELSON. In 2015, dark silver grey McFARLAND de Mojito [originally registered as true black]. In 2015, light silver grey Crusader's ROSE.
Revolution's SYDNEY continues to produce wonderful crias for LaCroix Alpacas. In 2020, she produced ALEXZANDER le Grand de LaCroix's first offspring: patterned, grey RAFFAELLA Adora. RAFFAELLA has very dense and very fine grey fleece, excellent conformation, and she has been very robust since the day of her birth. Consequently, SYDNEY is being rebred to ALEXZANDER.
