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!

We purchased Pepper as a maiden from at the 2020 Autumn Amber Auction. Pepper is an attractive female with all of the ingredients needed for a wonderful production dam. Sire AOV Accoyo Eros worked his magic crossed over a Jericho/Jeremiah/Mr. President daughter. Throw in some Royal Fawn/Vengador on the top side and what do you get? Pepper!! ... a lovely female with very nice phenotype, an attractive head, strong well-balanced frame and a perfect bite. Her fleece displays density, fineness, staple length, high frequency crimp and uniformity well into her extremities. Pepper’s most recent show results are the 2022 AOA National Fleece show. She received 1st place in her class and the “Most Uniform” award. Judge Wade Gease commented “Impressive density and volume to this fleece along with its micron range and uniformity. Excellent entry!” And Pepper's 2nd fleece was entered in the 2020 AOA National Fleece Show's Innovative Fleece Assessment. A copy of the score card / assessment can be Judge Cheryl Gehly commented "Fine secondaries in this dense, bright, highly aligned fleece!" Pepper delivered her first baby on 11/21/21 out of harlequin male Taupie's Son-shine of DVAF. The result is a lovely light fawn female-- Pepper's Spice Girl of DVAF. In October 2022, offspring, Spice Girl, attended her first show and placed first and Reserve Light Fawn Color Championship. Spice Girl is being offered in the 2023 Education with a Destination Auction - Lot 51. For Pepper's second breeding, she was paired with the wildly spotted harlequin appaloosa herdsire, Apache Gentleman. On 11/10/22 she delivered a handsome harlequin appaloosa male. Even at birth, this male has bundles of bright, dense curls. For more info, on Spirit, please see link below. Pepper's color genotype is ee a1a2. With her double dilute and double black alleles, she can be successful stamping her lovely phenotype and elite fleece across a variety of breeding programs such as black, grey, fawn and even harlequin appaloosa. UPDATE: On 5/30/23, Pepper was bred to our new handsome appaloosa herdsires, Chimbote from MaRS AND Rare Gem X-Man. It was Chimbote's first breeding and a bit short... so we had appaloosa herdsire Rare Gem X-Man cover her as well. Pepper has been spitting on her weekly behavior test since 5/30. Upon birth, DNA will confirm which of these handsome appaloosa males is the sire of the offspring. Pepper is co-owned with Diamond Valley Alpacas.
