WooHoo! Happy dance when this little lady was born! Gorgeous in every way with absolutely incredible fleece. Dixie's sire was sold to someone in Germany so we would love to have her remain in our herd to carry on his genetics. Appaloosas are extremely rare, and her quality is amazing! She has incredible fleece that holds up to the highest standards of a solid colored alpaca, even white! Incredible fineness with consistency through out the entire fleece. Expressive character and bundling hold true from her knees to her head. Dixie was off the farm for a few years but now she's back on MaRS and we are happily in a partnership with Las Flores del Altiplano Alpacas as she continues her production years. She was bred to AspenAlpacas Highpoint for her 2022 cria and the result is a stunning appaloosa male! It’s a no brainer that we have repeated this one. It's another appaloosa boy in 2023! We're going to keep this combination going and repeat, repeat, repeat! Hopefully we'll get a female next time.

Description

It is with great excitement that we announce the addition of this handsome young appaloosa male to the Rare Gem herd. We have followed MIrakel's dam for years as she is the closest appaloosa descendant to LF Del a Burl, the handsome appaloosa male that was exported to Germany. With his departure, these genetics were limited to just two females in the United States-- one of which is MaRs Dixie-- MIrakel's dam. Dixie is the only appaloosa descendant of daughter from LF del A Burl. In Germany, Burl went on to produce 50+ cria, the majority of which are appaloosa and/or patterned. Mirakel's grand-dam, Sugar Shoo, was a full Peruvian and a granddaughter of Auzengate, a Peruvian male, noted for throwing appaloosa cria. Mirakel's maternal side carries the Victor line and is stacked with champions, including Eastwind's Snowstorm. Dixie's owners had the foresight to breed her to an elite-fleeced male-- Aspen Alpacas Highpoint out of the Silver Rose Overture / Augusto's Cochiti line. Highpoint has stamped this offspring, Mirakel, with his beautiful phenotype including a lovely head, full coverage from nose to toes, perfect portions and an evolved, fine colorFULL appaloosa fleece! His previous owners have said "Here's betting that he gives his maternal brother, Wahoo from MaRS, a run for his money!" Those are some big "hooves" to fill, but time will tell. We invite appaloosa and harlequin breeders to keep an eye on this young male, Mirakel. We have great things planned for him! Special thanks to Alpacas from MaRS and Las Flores del Altiplano Alpacas for producing this fine male and letting him join the Rare Gem herd. With gratitude... UPDATE: Mirakel's show career is off to a great start. His most recent award is from the 2023 PNAA IFA. He took first in his class and "Most Uniform in Grade" Award - Grade 0.
