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.

Anticipation is sometimes better than the actual event. That is NOT the case with this star, who is still in the making. We were anxiously awaiting a pregnant MFI Pins and Needle's arrival and were not disappointed. She is out of an all-time favorite female, Ready to Run, and a male I like so much, MFI Peruvian Cactus Jack. The results are plain to see—outstanding phenotype with an even more impressive evenness to her fleece. I love this blanket's handle; its brightness is something to behold. With the colored pedigree in this female, the breeding choices are wide open. Best of all, she carries the MFI name on both sides of her pedigree!! She is extraordinary as she passes her fine genetics onto her crias. PBR Divine World's Bellagio won in 2020 as an AOA National Show Champion at eight months old!!!! And then again in 2021 in PAOBA! Her sire, MFI Peruvian Cactus Jack, has won reserve champion three times and is in the top 15% for fiber diameter, spin fineness and crimp.MFI Peruvian Cactus Jack, sold in the 2007 Breeder's Choice Auction for $150,000. What makes Jack so unique other than the offspring he is producing? *Perfect phenotype: balanced proportion, erect presence, straight legs, correct bite, gorgeous head, luxurious coverage, rich color, soft handled fleece, tight crimp, tremendous density, long-staple, well-organized bundling, and serious pedigrees with familiar names. Jeronimo S282, Pperuvian Guellerermo, Pperuvian Epifania, and Cperuvian Silvio. Pperuvian Guellermo sired some outstanding progeny on the West Coast; he was unknown until he returned to the United States in 2002. Her dam, MFI Ready to Run, an incredible bundling fawn, is the daughter of Pperuvian Ramona B4394, producing numerous champions for MFI. MFI Ready to Run's pedigree includes alpacas from the heart of the MFI breeding program, MFI Peruvian Jericho, Peruvian Dakotia and NWA, LTD Jean.

Thank you Pamela Ray of Xanadu Alpaca Farm for half interest in this exceptional male! Sensation has top genetics on both sides! He displays a gorgeous phenotype and beautiful head style, with full coverage. This handsome guy is a 9x champion and Judges Choice winner! Take a look at his fiber stats!!! He has exquisite uniformity, fineness and sparkling brightness! He carries strong color genetics through his dam, Xanadu Althea, a CC herself, and full sister to Xanadu Aristide, a top producer of grays, blacks and appaloosas. Aristide was also sire to the 2022 Australian National Supreme Champion! Sensation’s sire, Snowmass Defiance’s genetics combine the lasting fineness found in the Hemingway and Legacy lines, with a low medullation for which the elite line is well known for. Sensation is working now and his first cria is a pattern (Wh/MF) out of a white dam! WOWZA! This is exciting! We can’t wait to add his exquisite fiber traits and handsome phenotype to our appy/harley/ multi-colored program! His genotype is eeAA, which means he’s fully dilute and should throw the dam’s color!!!! Ask us about a breeding, and adding these top genetics and spectacular traits to your program. Proudly co-owned with Pamela Ray of Xanadu Alpaca Farm!
