Co-owned with Jack and Kelly Armstrong of PureSuri Breeding Company Here is another stunning example of the cross between PureSuri and Pucara. PureSuri herd is the best example we can give of a superb breeding philosophy. The Armstrongs, formerly Latah Creek, dominated the suri show ring with, amongst others, their Inca line white suris and it was artistry in the making when we combined the lines of Latah Creek with those of Pucara Kahuna. Lexus was at the top of the class in our 2013 drop. He has grown out with exceptional density combined with fineness and who we have used extensively since spending his 2015 breeding season in Colorado at Goldyn Rae Alpacas. The production there verified our hopes for him to produce to the excellence of his line! He shows off a stunning head on a well conformed frame but its the fleece that spanks of his royal lineage. It is exactly what we breed for. High luster, in fact luster to burn! It is fine and dense and displays nice independence of locking with that buttery greasy handle that we love to see in our program. In March 2014 he tested at 18.6m 3.9sd 20.9cv Sired by none other than the five times Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year Pucara Kahuna, his mother also comes from immaculate lineage. PureSuri Lexus is a daughter of one of the densest males we have ever seen, LCA Viho (Inca son) and her dam is a Snowmass Ice Dancer daughter that is infused with the superior genetics of Uribe and Ganador. We have been stoked with the production from Lexus. We were offering him for sale but we don't think so any more! The cria have had blazing luster with density that is so hard to achieve. He has taken a very important place in our ET program. We are of course selling breedings. He will compliment your suri program with all the suri fleece traits that we admire.

Update: Tatiana and Lexus had a “blazing white”, according to Al Cousil, boy cria on May 4th, and just what we wanted! We purchased Tatiana at the Snow Diamond auction in 2016. Here is what Jude Anderson had to say about her: 'It is not very often I make posts about our alpacas but the recent inclusion of TSSS Chico’s Tatiana at the Snow Diamond auction this weekend begs my input. This sterling young female is all about prepotence. Prepotence is what builds the genetic quality of an animal. It means genetics are built into the ancestry so the outcome and production are not only reliable but repeatable. Our breeding program is best exampled by this layer upon layer approach. Building levels of potency that will produce traits we are breeding for. Using the genetics we know from lines that have in the past been true to the purpose. So I will explain this in Tatiana’s case. The paternal grandsire: Pucara Kahuna. How many Futurity Herdsires of the Year has he won based on production? I’ve lost count. More than any other suri herdsire in US history. And his sons and grandsons in both light and dark have won Herdsires of the Year. The paternal grand dam: The daughter of Moon Rivers Durango who is now producing excellence in Australia in the form of AAA National Best In Shows! Her dam, Manchita has produced champions and reserve champions such as Pucara Pipeline at the Futurity and Nationals. The sire: Kahuna’s Chico. One of those sons who has done so well in the show ring and now with his production. Chico absolutely blazed with luster from his high density fused with fineness. He was a champion in the show ring and in the fleece room! The maternal grandsire: Pucara Allegro. At last look he had produced 21 Best In Shows or as they say in Australia, Supreme Champions… The dam: Pucara Lettina, one of our last Allegro daughters who nearly always produce amongst our best on the farm. Lettina has Letterman, Beachley, Kuta Beach and Lombok to her claim, and now Tatiana. So there is the multi layered cake if you please. With Tatiana you will be buying generations of our careful planning!" Thank you Al and Jude for sharing your program with us!
