CONGRATULATIONS to BREITFELD ALPAKAS on their purchase of Rare Gem Whole Latte Love. He leaves for quarantine in Oregon in March and then off to Canada to establish residency. He will be flown to Europe to his new home in Switzerland thereafter. I'm sure he will add new genetics to their ranch and can't wait to see what he produces. ************************************************************************************************************************** Born as a calico harlequin/appaloosa, Rare Gem Whole Latte Love, has grayed out and become a gorgeous, handsome stud. With perfect conformation and coverage from head to toe on a solid and robust frame, Rare Gem Whole Latte Love is a phenotypically flawless herd sire. He is the unique blending of the Aussie Rockford and Polaris (A Hemingway son), lines with a dense and long staple length. At 18 months he settled his first girl who gave birth to one of the curliest babies I've ever seen!!! The second baby, a male, PBR Clover, an appaloosa (sold) and now to add to his accomplishments, a 2022 female, PBR Charming Cappuccino (sold), was born. Latte wasn't finished yet, as another 2022 breeding gave us a gorgeous harlequin female, PBR Sensational Demitasse. 2022 blessed us again with a gorgeous harlequin appaloosa male, PBR Artesian Macchiato (sold), the last of Latte's offspring in the United States as he has been exported to his new home in Switzerland. Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia, Latte's sire, is a striking appaloosa harlequin male whose heritage boasts appaloosa genetics on both sides of his lineage with Aussie Rockford out of Hannahruh on his sire's side and Chiquita Import on his dam's side. Latte's dam, Bright Water Ranch's Espresso, was a lovely Bay Black female. (We lost her to unknown causes). She was the daughter of VF Yahoo too, a very successful male in the alpaca industry and BMR Sienna, a daughter of Polaris). Espresso had a beautiful bright fleece with excellent crimp, and she displayed a perfect phenotype. Her bloodlines included recognizable names such as Peruvian Hemingway, Polaris, Peruvian Felix and Snowmass Snowmaster's Shiraz and she, herself, was in the top 25% for crimp.

At Plateau Breeze Ranch, there are alpacas that captivate with their fleece, and then there are those whose sheer presence brings a spark of magic—meet PBR Absolut’s Black Magic Charm. With her dazzling personality and elite fleece, Charm is the kind of alpaca that turns heads and wins hearts. The daughter of Springtoo Skyfall, Charm was stamped with his signature crimpy, typey-alpaca look, elevating her to an undeniable show-ring contender. But the touch of perfection comes from her dam, Spot Snowflake, a harlequin/appaloosa beauty who gifted Charm with delicate fawn spots cascading down her neck—a rarity that adds to her irresistible charm. And with a fleece measuring an impressive 17.2 microns, SD 3.8, CV 16.9, her level of fineness is nothing short of extraordinary. Charm’s proven excellence doesn’t stop at her own fleece—she passed down her magic in 2023 when she produced PBR Scout’s Magical Rainbow, an absolute showstopper of a cria and the finest we’ve seen to date! With a bloodline stacked with legends, Charm embodies generations of elite alpacas, including Accoyo Yupanqui, Accoyo Pluro, Peruvian Black Magic, Black Epic, and NGG Lionel. These names don’t just promise quality—they define it. Looking ahead to 2024, Charm will be paired with none other than Clown’s Magical Scout, an elite stud known for his head-to-toe fleece coverage and undeniable presence. With an impressive genetic lineup featuring Pluro, Black Magic, Hemingway, and Accoyo El Nino, Scout’s track record of producing appaloosa and harlequin offspring makes this pairing one to watch. If you’re searching for a female who delivers fineness, rarity, and next-level fleece, Charm is a dream come true. With an enchanting look, top-tier lineage, and an undeniable ability to pass on stunning genetics, she is the kind of alpaca that transforms a herd. We couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds for her at Plateau Breeze Ranch!
