Sire: Shavano
32138535<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Shavano is our true black, full Peruvian, half Accoyo male who was named the 2010 AAA Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year. His lock and density are extreme for a black suri. His mother, GLL Macatawa is a medium fawn daugher of 4 P Macusani, one of our foundation females who had 8 female crias for us in a row. Shavano's sire is 4 P Miguel a white, full accoyo male. As a juvenile, Shavano was Black Male Color Champion at the AAA Futurity in 2006 and Reserve at MAPACA. As a yearling he was first in his class at both the AAA Futurity and AOBA that year, after being shorn the previous spring. His first crop of crias were shown in 2009. We only showed two crias that year, GLR Arappaho, now owned by Linda Kondris of Pine's Edge Suri Alpacas in Colorado, who won both the MAPACA and AOBA Black Male Color Championship, and GLR Tica, who was the Reserve Brown Female Champion at both the AAA Futurity and MAPACA. So far this spring GLR Tica has gone on to win the Reserve Brown Female Championship at the 2010 AAA Futurity as a yearling and the Brown Female Color Championship and Judges Choice at GWAS in Denver. Shavano also won Get of Sire in Denver, with three colored suris. Shavano won the Dark Herdsire of the year at the AAA Futurity with 4 Reserve Color Championships in both Black and Brown, in both the male and female catagories. GLR Tica went on to win the 2010 AOBA Nationals Brown Female Color Championship and GLR Ali was awarded the 2010 ABOA Reserve Black Female Color Championship.
Shavano offspring were responsible for Great Lakes Ranch being named the 2010 and the 2011 AAA Futurity Medium Size Breeder of the Year and the 2012 AAA Futurity Reserve Breeder of the Year.

NOW VERY PROUDLY CO-OWNED WITH ROGUE SURI ALPACAS AND TRIPLE H RANCH!
GLR Nico has produced a Futurity Champion every year he has been in Production!
He is now standing stud in Oregon half the year and Colorado half the year! Many people who have purchased breedings to Nico over the years have put Champion offspring on the ground as a result. We are proud of his longevity of fleece traits in this color and his continuing success in his breeding career.
Nico's progeny need no introduction, they continue to blow away the competition in the show ring and it is easy to understand why! With his genetics and pedigree, he continues to stamp LUSTER and LOCK on everything! Nico has blown us away with his ability to pair extremely well with Macgyver lines! Our best pairings with Nico have been from Macgyver lineage girls! Between confirmation, lock and luster, Nico has not let us down. Below are some of his amazing offspring and we have had a hard time hanging onto these guys and you will be able to see why!
On top of being a wonderfully easy boy to handle and breed, this boy has given us several offspring to be very proud of! And because Nico's offspring are so Wildly popular, we have only been able to keep a few long enough to be able to biopsy. But his kids did not disappoint us at all, in fact right after biopsying these guys they were sold!
