Arabesque is a three time Color Champion and one of the stars of Dundee Farm. Her micron tested 19.1 at 18 months and is still fine today. She is 3/4 Peruvian, has two true black grandsires as well as sire, and is an excellent mother. Her 2004 cria, Dundee's Jacqueline Jaxon, placed 2nd in a large, competitive class at the Great Western Alpaca Show and went on to win a first place at Fall Festival. Her 2005 cria is The Lad, a 2x Color Champion and multiple blue ribbon winner in his own right. Her '07 cria, Bentley (7/8ths Peruvian), is a true black, dense, Axtion Jaxon son showing great promise as a herdsire. We bred Arabesque to Adrenalin for a September 2008 cria. Adrenalin has thrown black from fawn, so we think we might get a black cria. This fabulous production female is only offered because we are keeping her son, The Lad, as well as other related girls. As seasoned alpaca breeders know, a herd needs variety. Arabesque is perfect for those breeding for black who want predictability, pedigree, and champion bloodlines. Arabesque is available with her 07 cria Bentley at a very good price. Call for details.
