We really are "gobsmacked" by this boy, purchased from Bev and Jason Brehm of Rogue Suri Alpacas! Coppola has had a terrific show career, earning 4 championships (both halter and Walking Fleece) at level 4 or higher shows, plus his first RC at the Alpaca Breeders' Invitational, and beating out his "old man" (Nico) for Color Champion at the 2017 California Classic! Now that he is shorn, I can really get my hands on his fleece---he has incredibly buttery ropey pitch-black locks that are distinctly well-defined and lustrous. It's almost unnatural--I've never seen anything like it. And who ever heard of a True Black male in the TOP 5% EPD for AFD!! His dam, WAP Showtime, is a multi Champion (including Futurity), sired by WAP Bet on Black. She is one of Rogue Suri's best producers. And, of course, Coppola's sire is the fantastic GLR NICO!!-- a multi Champion in his own right! Earning a whopping 12 Championships in halter, fleece and well into his 4th year fleece! (actually, he has earned even more championships since this was written, but who's counting?) Check out Coppola's Get of Sire entry at the Gold Country Gathering in October, 2021!

From the respected PVA program, Fanfare is an AWE Champion and Futurity Blue Ribbon winner. She comes from strong black genetics on both sides. Fanfare is an impressive, elegant female with a ram-rod straight back and her sire's perfect head. Nice locking and density, and each of her offspring have had good to outstanding luster (even the huacaya "love child"!) and nice personalities. She is an excellent mother--textbook birthings, lots of milk, and a good maternal instinct. Fanfare comes bred to our True Black Futurity RC, RGSA Coppola, who sired her award-winning son, Fredo. She is due in late June, 2024.
