GLR Ali is a full sister to GLR Arappaho, now owned by Pines Edge Suri Alpacas and the 2009 MAPACA and AOBA Black Male Color Champion. She is a beautiful true black Shavano daughter from one of our favorite dams, GLR Allelujah, one of the only Synergy daughters we have ever kept. Her first dance in the show ring was at the 2010 AAA Futurity where she awarded Black Female Reserve Champion as a juvenile. She took first place and Black Female Color Champion at GWAS in Denver, the largest alpaca show in the nation and went on to earn the 2010 Reserve Black Female Color Champion at the AOBA Nationals in Ft. Wayne Indiana. She won Black Female Color Champion, and 2nd in Bred and Owned Female at the 2011 Mapaca Jubilee and she was Black Female Reserve Color Champion at the 2011 AAA Futurity and Black Reserve Color Champion at the 2011 GWAS show. She also won the Black Female Color Championship at the 2011 Suri Network Fleece Show. She is a beautiful girl with great bone, excellent conformation, a lustrous greasy fleece, that desirable wedge shaped head and a sweet, mellow disposition to boot. Ali's 2014 cria is a gorgeous true black daughter GLR Ongeleigh, sired by CInders, who Karl and Jan Heinrich, of Long Hollow Suri Alpacas purchased this fall. Ongeleigh is every bit as beautiful as her mother with incredible fleece, excellent luster, coverage and fineness, a great suri head , straight conformation and that sweet personality she inherited from her mom. We are honored by Karl and Jan's support of our breeding program with their purchase as they both are experts in evaluating and understanding suri fleece. We wish them luck in the show ring and can't wait to see Ongeleigh's cria when she retires to become a mom. Ali's 2015 female cria is yet another true black girl, GLR Alleycat who is just as promising as Ongelleigh and sired once again by Cinders who did well on the show circuit in 2016 in the top of the black juvenile classes and the 2016 Reserve Black Female at the 2016 Mapaca Jubilee. Alleycat ought to be a serious contender as a yearling in the show ring. Ali gave birth 2016 to yet another jet black male cria, GLR Alix.

Legend is now a proven herdsire! And his first cria is a gorgeous rose grey! Yaquina delivered a gorgeous brown male rightfully named Legend! This boy is covered in fiber on every inch of his body! He carries excellent bone, but most of all his luster is amazing! Legend was a part of the Nico get 2018! If stud is what you are looking for, this boy has got it all! To top it all off.... Legend took the National Fleece Brown Championship 2018 AND Suri Network Fleece show Male Color Championship too! This guy has the FLEECE!!! Then the story for Legend gets better... Rogue’s Legend takes a Reserve Champion at Futurity 2019 as a SHORN yearling. This boy is ready to produce Champions for your farm! If quality fleece is what you are looking for, this male should be at the TOP of your list! “Rogue Suri Alpaca’s Legend” was biopsied as a 3 year old dark brown suri male with ARI#35090038. His 15x scan shows fiber clusters that appear very uniform in size, shape and placement within his connective tissue. His density measures 81.5 follicles SQ MM of skin with no adjustment. His S/P ratio from 25 normal fiber clusters averages 14.3 to 1. He grades level 1 of 4 gland presence and near 100% of his secondary fibers show a degree of medullation. 100 secondary fibers average 20.4 microns while 50 primary fibersaverage 27.3 microns for a S/P micron variation of only 6.9 microns. Legend’s AFD on August 29, 2020 is 20.88 microns. Two things to note on Legend’s biopsy workup. Note on all scans that most of his secondary fibers are round in shape which many fiber judges agree is associated with more lustrous fiber. The other note that merits attention is all scans show the presence of dead secondary fibers that stain dark red or purple. This is often observed in the more dense alpacas or those that may be lower in the social hierarchy while acquiring nutrition. Legend’s fiber stats certainly place him at the top of his breed.
