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?

We purchased this gorgeous female at the 2022 Parade of Champions auction. Here are Snowmass Alpacas' Comments: It came as no surprise that when we paired this striking male, Snowmass Enchanted Wave, with the robust female, Kahuna’s Silky Syrah, we ended up with the very strong framed and correct female, Snowmass Enchanted Isis. This is a female you want to use to bring conformation, bone, head style and coverage to a show breeding program. We also got traits that we hoped for, but could not count on, namely black fleece with a roan pattern that is also evident in her mother. To get this color and pattern, along with Enchanted Isis’s exceptional genetics for fineness and micron uniformity was really exciting. Enchanted Isis carries two black ASIP alleles and will make a great addition to a black or grey breeding program. We love the particular combination of ancestors in Enchanted Isis’ pedigree, and while the sires are always going to be good we are also high on Isis’ granddames, including Snowmass Wedding Waves and the brown female, Snowmass Silky Syrah, the Snowmass Quechua granddaughter who conveyed the genetics for a very heavy cutting fleece. The depth of quality of this lovely lady is evident. Color Genotype: Ee aa Offspring: On 8/30/24, Isis presented us with a handsome Classic-DSG male sired by our exceptional AspenAlpacas Earl Grey.
