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!

Many thanks to Wendi and Russell James of Little Providence Alpacas in Reno, Nevada for this donated breeding to Ephraim! Density, fineness, locking and luster! This male has it all, and has the capacity to pass these traits on to his progeny. His EPD scores are in the top 5% to 15% for almost every category--no surprise because his sire and dam also score in the top EPD percentiles. Ephraim is a son of the incredible Big Timber Josef, who has countless championships and champion crias. Josef is a son of the almost legendary Pucara Kahuna: for many years the star of the famed Pucara herdsire lineup. Ephraim's dam is also a champion and brings in genetics from Apache II , Uribe, Bruxo, and Mallory Jane. Take a look at Ephraim's show record--he has excelled in BOTH walking fleece and halter categories, with several championships in each! He clearly has an all-star profile that you want represented in your herd!
