Apache was a cornerstone of our herd for over five years. He now has 41 registered offspring many of which are in our Rare Gem herd. Follow the links below to view his amazing, colorFULL progeny. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Oh, my oh my! Apache is a proven herdsire with 28 cria on the ground! Sometimes words just aren't enough. If you are looking for an appaloosa harlequin stud to cover your girls and create something truly unique, look no further. This boy has it all! Apache's pedigree is packed (on both sides) with outstanding appaloosas and harlequins. It is highly probable that Apache is homozygous meaning you do not have to breed him to another harlequin or appaloosa to get a good chance of producing an appaloosa / harlequin offspring. A definite plus for those breeding for spots. With 28 offspring now sired by Apache, we have a pretty good picture of his expressivity. Of the 28 offspring on the ground (December 2021), 27 of the dams were solid colored (not appaloosa or harlequin). All but 2 of the 27 offspring are either classic appaloosa or harlequin. That is an expression rate of 93%! Ironically, the one appaloosa female that Apache was bred to threw a solid. Apache is as sure of a bet as you can get when looking for these uniquely colored / patterned alpacas. Apache's sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon winning male that sports a beautiful fleece and strong confirmation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expecations making his grandsire the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic. Apache's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of two very well-known appaloosas - NWA/Hearsum Paulo and Cookies and Cream. In May 2021, Apache's appaloosa offspring took 2nd Place - Get of Sire at CABA. UPDATE: For the first time ever, this highly expressive stud will be made available Summer of 2022. We work with international buyers and can guide you through the process. If interested, please don't wait... contact us now!

Krispy carries the impressive quality bloodlines of her grandsires SA Peruvian Black Epic and PPPeruvian Grand Master. This quality breeding shows through in her proud carriage, beautiful conformation, super straight topline, upright elegant neck carriage and perfectly straight legs with good strong bone. She also has amazing coverage. On June 6, 2011 Krispy had a beautiful female cria, "Dottie Biscotti" a loud colored Appaloosa with gorgeous conformation, pretty head and lovely fleece! She's sired by the spectacular Charles P Atlas, winner of six blue ribbons for Get-Of-Sire and sire of six color champions so far! In 2017, Dottie carried the appaloosa gene forward throwing a spectacularly spotted female cria with popcorn fleece. In 2014, Krispy had another beautiful female cria, "Sweet Eclaire". In 2015, both Krispy and Eclaire left their farm in Ohio to live in California and become part of the Rare Gem foundation herd. I just can't say enough about this strong line of girls. I love their personalities, fleece and the ability to pass along the desired traits to their offspring. June 7, 2019... National Doughnut Day... go figure... Krispy Kream threw a beautiful silky appaloosa. Please check out "Dunkin'"... his fleece will be a hand spinner's dream! (Sold). UPDATE: Thanksgiving 2020... Krispy delivers another beautiful appaloosa... a female, Rare Gem Punkin’ Pie!

Handsome son of lavender grey herdsire, 3X Champion Rare Gem Privateer's First Mate, and true black dam, Granite Bay National Velvet. National Velvet is a daughter of 3X Futurity Herdsire of the Year-- US Steel. This boy's pedigree is packed with elite grey and black genetics. Sea Señor has been color genotyped as EE a1a2. He carries no dilution and two black alleles— including a1 which produces beautiful blue black. Sea Senor will be an asset to a black and grey breeding program. Another exciting pairing for this male will be appaloosa's carrying a dilution gene. By pairing with such a female, offspring have the potential to be classic appaloosa and even harlequin appaloosa. We have paired him with some of our very best here at Rare Gem Alpacas and are excited to see the 2024 progeny!
