Full Peruvian, with champions in his bloodlines that make you take a second look -- yes, that is the now deceased multiple champion true black Knight Ryder who showed who took the ring by storm in his day. And Shades of Silver is the champion son of the notable champion Legend's Peruvian Revelation by KPR. This pedigree is definitely 'name dropping' if you are interested in champion black and grey. In his showing he often stood second to Val d'Sere, the legendary many times color champion and judge's choice winner. And during the color champion, though the CCNF male took reserve (after Val d'Sere took CC, of course), we got several 2nd glances by the judge when Axios moved up to the front row for consideration. Axios, for his first breeding year, bred to our Sparrow Lark (who had made a lovely TB female by our multiple champion black herdsire), produced a fantastic deep brown boy last year and a mirrored girl this year. Both are beautiful. His 2019 boy, Shakespeare, is still available as we ramp back up into show mode after the year of Covid-19 restrictions, and his 2020 girl was sold at her dam's side. In 2021, Axios made three beautiful female and one male crias for us! He throws color! Sweet Carolina is a well grown BG out of (LF) Aika; no fault to him as Aika is resisting putting out dark. Divine Glamour is a luxurious BB out of our MF Divine Lady, and Oraine is a glowing MB out of our champion white Danica. He also made a spectacular bay black male out of a our MF dam, Carnaval who unfortunately had an ear infection as a young cria that affected our ability to show him. So, the girls, Glamour and Oraine, had to represent Axios alone - both garnering banners! We are more than proud. He is closed to outside breedings but will be available as a service sire to sold dams from Autumn Sun Alpacas.

Lark is a proven dam whose lineage and progeny speaks volumes for her. Your eye catches her quiet grace, free movement, and well-balanced frame decorated by her excellent coverage of black fleece. Along with her dark looks and boxy conformation, she offers crimpy fiber with great density, shine and handle to her crias. Lark's first born -- AutumnSun's Canyon Wren -- is a lovely medium brown girl sired by Annual's Bea-2 Bomber, 3X AOA champion & overall 9X champion light rose grey son of the invincible Aussie .38 Special. This vigorous girl has her dam's spot-on conformation and stately beauty adorned with a long and crimpy fleece. Lark is loaded with grey and black lineages. Her dam, Mystery, is true black dam with grey genetics out of Crescent Moon's Raylina, a medium rose grey champion producing champions. Skyline Alpacas (known for their grey & black program) says of this dam: "Raylina produces what we believe to be the "Premier Seed Stock" that we are striving for...." Mystery's medium silver grey sire, ATV Silver Magnum, is a grey champion son of Mr. Roosevelt as well as the sire of champion ATV Silver Elation, himself a sire of champions. With this parentage, it clear that Lark has the genetics to be an excellent dam in either or both a black and grey program. Lark was then bred to our true black 13x champion AutumnSun's Black Maelstrom to produce Starling who was sold in the 2019 Futurity auction. In 2019, Lark gave us a beautiful rich brown male by our herdsire Axios that has extremely nice fleece. He is Shakespeare. This boy doesn't sell at her side but can be negotiated separately. This year we repeated that breeding and got just what we wanted, a full sister to Shakespeare that looks just like him! Beautiful!
