Mr. Big-- Producer of Champions AND GLAMOR MODELS!! His son, Charming, has "hit the runway"! Mr. Big is sired by MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite-- thought to be one of the most successful black herdsire in the industry. At his peak, his breedings sold for $7500. His offspring have dominated at the shows across the country for years. Mr. Big's dam 'Maia' is a two time 'Produce of Dam' blue ribbon winner and is a daughter of MFI Peruvian Jericho, who has produced offspring that have won over 130 championships. He is also the sire of Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah. Mr. Big's fleece is very, very dense with zipper crimp, full of character and beautiful brightness-- even at age 10. When shown under Wade Gease, he described it as being very velvety. Mr. Big is a solidly built boy with big bone, straight legs. Mr. Big is a real 'eat pellets out of your hand' kinda guy. He has a confident, calm, very relaxed disposition which makes him very nice to handle and show. Show History: Mr. Big's first show and it's a first place! At The Best Of the US Show in Columbus Oh. March 10, 2012. Mr. Big placed second at the 2012 AOBA Nationals in Louisville, KY. First show of 2013 for Mr. Big and he placed 3rd in a very large competitive class at the Best of the US Show in the dark brown yearling male class (this is the only show that they did not put him the multi class). Amanda Vandenbosch appreciated his denseness with it's lovely character, along with his substantial frame and big bone. Finally they offered a championship for multis, at the 2013 MAPACA Show, a level 5 show and Mr. Big won the Reserve Championship. Still going strong in 2014 with a first at the Best of the US Show in Columbus, Ohio, and then followed that up with another blue at the 2014 Kentucky Classic in Lexington, Ky. and another blue at the 2014 MAPACA Jubilee! 2014 OABA AlpacaFest and another blue. Mr. Big now has six offspring on the ground. Five are True Blacks out of True Blacks and one is dark brown out of bay black. Daughter, Rare Gem Grace O'Malley, is a 3X banner winner and will be consigned to the 2023 Parade of Champions Auction in New York.

Corky is only one of two true black females ever produced from 6 Peruvian The Last Don! Corky is a full Peruvian, half Accoyo true black with impressive genetics. She was sired by the one and only 6Peruvian Accoyo The Last Don and her dam was 5Peruvian Indigo Ink. These two alpacas were Peruvian imports and quickly made their mark in the industry. Corky is exceptional for a true black just like her mom. She is well-proportioned, true to type with a proper head and broad muzzle. Corky has excellent substance of bone with good body capacity through her chest. Even though Corky is one of Rare Gem's mature foundation girls, her fleece and topknot are still thick and dense at almost 12 years of age. Her fleece is still crimpy and bright. We really appreciate Corky’s classic Accoyo look as evidenced by her compact broad muzzle. Corky was bred to Taos' Peruvian Pearl Jam and produced a beautiful 2014 cria BMF Pearl Jam's Indigo Ink Spot! "Wow" is the result of this breeding. Pearl Jam is a 9x Blue Ribbon winner and full brother to BMF Taos' Zeppelin! His Pearl Jam fineness and crimp genetics with this Last Don gal shows again just what she can produce. 2016 Update: Corky produced another silky-fleeced cria, Rare Gem Grace O'Malley. She has proven herself to deliver quality. Her genetics are great match for any color phased herdsire of quality. 2017 Updates: - Corky's 2016 progeny, Rare Gem Grace O'Malley, entered the show world this year and took Black Reserve Color Champion in the Cottage Fleece Competition at the 2017 AOA National Fleece Show. - 11/21/17 Corky throws a gorgeous modern grey female cria!! 2019 Update: - June 2019... meet the arrival of Corky's handsome jet black young man, RG Cuppa Joe!

June 7, 2019... National Doughnut Day... go figure... this handsome classic appaloosa boy... Dunkin' was born. At 359 days gestation, Dunkin' weighed in at 19.5 pounds. From the very beginning, it was very clear that Dunkin's fleece was something out of the ordinary. Aside from the spots, which we had bred for, Dunkin's fleece was ultra-fine and ultra-bright. He was cria-shorn on 7/14/19 and his fleece has come in nicely. Dunkin's fleece will be ideal handspun... raw. A spinner's dream! Not one for the mill. A little about Dunkin's dam... Krispy Kream carries the impressive quality bloodlines of her grandsires SA Peruvian Black Epic and PPPeruvian Grand Master. This quality breeding shows through in her proud carriage, beautiful conformation, super straight topline, upright elegant neck carriage and perfectly straight legs with good strong bone. She also has amazing coverage. At 12 years of age, she is still going strong and an invaluable foundational contributor to the Rare Gem program. Krispy Kream has fiber and stats to be proud of. At age eleven and half (2019), she was 22 micron and EPDs in the top 5% in 3 categories (AFD, SD, SF) and top 1% (fibers >30)... 331 of the 47,399 female alpacas tested in 2019. Krispy carries the appaloosa gene from the Black Epic line. She proved this genetic propensity when bred to Charles P. Atlas, a non-appaloosa gene carrier and they produced the wildly spotted appaloosa Dottie Biscotti (2011). So, while Dunkin's sire is an appaloosa, he could very well be homozygous for the appaloosa gene as both his parents carry it. And a little about Dunkin's sire... Rare Gem XXXteme Spots. Spots is a new comer to the appaloosa alpaca scene. Spots' appaloosa gene comes from NGG Lional-- a known appaloosa carrier that has been well-proven in Canada but is rather rare in the United States. In the past... in the United States... the appy program has been focused on achieving the spots which required certain genetic combinations, but unfortunately... not always best known for outstanding fleece qualities. What is so special about Spots from an appaloosa breeder program perspective is that he carries elite-fleeced heavy hitter lines in his pedigree such as Legacy, El Nino, and XXXtreme (out of Hemingway) ALONG WITH the expressed appy gene! Spots sports a fleece you would expect from such a stellar pedigree. He is dense and fine and FULL of crimp! Lasting fineness is in the genes, Dunkin's paternal grandfather-- Sai-Hoji, was 21 micron at 11 years of age. Update: Dunkin's offspring are hitting the ground and definitely not disappointing! Excited for more to arrive in 2023!
