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!

CONGRATULATIONS to Caryl and Sam on their purchase of Bisturi's Periwinkle. She has been a premier foundation breeder here at Plateau Breeze Ranch and has given us some gorgeous appaloosa/harlequins. She will stay close to us here in California but will be missed. ************************************************************************************************************************** Another coveted daughter of an incredible black female, Hvla Poppy, Bisturi's Periwinkle has a beautiful Dark rose grey fleece and Vicuna pattern and a unique phenotype. Her fiber has an excellent crimp. She is a great foundation dam and a stellar breeder. She never has a problem getting pregnant, holding her pregnancies, delivers large 20lb plus babies, has tons of milk and is the most attentive of moms. Periwinkle threw a harlequin/appaloosa in 2018, Rare Gem Heart Kandi (check out her page) when bred to harlequin/appaloosa herdsire, Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia. The following year she impressively threw another wildly-spotted, rare and classic appaloosa/harlequin (PBR Gentlemen's Fascination (see her page!) out of Apache Gentlemen. Then once again, in 2020, we paired her up with Apache Gentlemen, and she threw another gorgeous harlequin/appaloosa, PBR Apache's Spark's Fly. That's 3 for 3 when bred for appaloosa/harlequin. Her sire is Bisturi, one of the most consistent producers of grey and black offspring and is considered a legendary herdsire. Bisturi moved to Austria in 2013 and, at 12 years old, has a fabulous, uniformly grey-coloured fleece. He has an impressive pedigree. Of over 100 offspring, 55 greys and 25 black animals are on the ground. Bisturi is a fabulous stallion with numerous victories on which he has proven his uniqueness.

If you are looking for a top quality appaloosa to breed to, Cygnus is it! Cygnus is well put together from head to toe. Many have admired the fineness of his fleece and that it carries the same consistency from color to color, which is something that is hard to find in Appaloosas. His fleece is coming in beautifully with fineness, good density, wonderful handle and hardly any halo. Conformationally correct, nice large bone, good width in the front and rear, with straight legs and toes pointing forward. Cygnus comes from great appaloosa genetics, carrying the beautiful all over pattern of spots and has improved upon the fleece of his amazing sire Lu Tau. Cyg offspring- he has produced highly expressive Appaloosa in 3 out of 5 crias, two of which were out of non Appaloosa dams. Cyg seems to be pushing his great fleece characteristics in the offspring regardless of dams fleece quality. Cria weights have been consistent in the 16-17lb range. He will be open to a VERY LIMITED number of outsides breedings each year. Please reach out to us if you are interested. **Proudly Co-Owned with Elderwood Farms
