AspenAlpacas Earl Grey is an exceptional grey herdsire and we are excited about adding him to our breeding program. He stands out with his statuesque silhouette, proud presence, and gorgeous phenotype. He comes by this naturally from breeding two multi-champions. Earl Grey has his sire's outstanding coverage, large bone, and macho, wedge shaped full head, and stunning classic dark silver-grey color. Earl Grey is sired by DSG multi-champion, Applewoods Phantom. His multi-champion fawn dam is Silver Rose Elegance (who has Cochiti and Legacy as close genetics). Not only are his dam and sire champions, all of his grandparents are champions as well! His paternal grandsire is Jerimiah’s Qualtrain and five-time champion grey. This makes for an impressive pedigree that boasts of Majestic Peruvian Jerimiah, MFI Peruvian Jericho, HA Shades of Grey, Peruvian Presidio, PPPeruvian Augusto, 4Peruvian Legacy, Augusto, Cochiti, Caligula, and Victor! Unfortunately, the covid pandemic limited Earl Grey’s show career. Earl Grey has a beautiful handling fleece in a uniform dark silver-grey color. The color is uniform across his body. The micron range is uniform between his white and black fibers. His first histogram displayed a 17.2 micron, 4.4 standard deviation, and 2.2% over thirty micron. He also carries a very long staple length. The crimp is consistent across his blanket and has a high frequency. The fleece shows great brightness with an excellent degree of density. BLUE-RIBBON PROGENY! Earl Grey has already displayed his ability to pass these traits onto his offspring. His 2023 daughter, Estates Danish Silver Mermaid recently won a Blue-Ribbon at the 2024 Houston show! His MSG son placed 2nd at the 2023 CABA halter show (at only six months and five days old), and his MRG daughter placed 2nd at the 2023 Alpaca Western Extravaganza show! With 15 cria on the ground, 11 are black or grey and the dams vary from grey to white! With this pedigree, show records, fleece traits, and progeny, what is not to like?

AMBER AUTUMN RHODA Rhoda is the daughter of 8x champion, Accoyo America Jason, who won the AOBA Nationals championship in brown three years running (2005, 2006, 2007). She has Pperuvian Camilio G4562, Camilio's Accoyo Endurance, Pussywillow and Pacific Crest's Camilio's Phoenicia. You can't go wrong with these genetics, and this is just her sire's side. Her dam's side adds two legendary herdsires known for their long-lasting fineness: Rhoda's maternal grandsire is Jolimont 2 Peruvian IVANO, one of the most well-known Studs in Canada. IVANO’s fleece was super dense and kept an exceptional characteristics retention with age. In fact, he had an incredible AFD of 25 at 12 years old! Her maternal granddame, Snowmass Ruby's Rosalee (1/2 sister to Snowmass Satin Reserve XX) is the daughter of Snowmass Nova's Private Reserve XX (out of Snowmass Nova), a magnificent multi-champion true black stud from the Snowmass black breeding program with amazing fineness.
