Sire: Captain Nemo ARI#
849790 Dark Rose Grey We love Nemo. We all love Nemo, from our partners the Sweeney's at Celtic Criations to all who come to our farm. He is proud, he is stately, he is charming and he truly may be one of the smartest alpacas I have ever met. He definitely knows that he is king over his world, he controls his herd, and they all are much better behaved with Nemo around.
Nemo has many wonderful traits that he passes onto his progeny, from incredible conformation, exquisite fineness, lovely crimp, and excellent density. He stamps them - and you can always tell a Nemo cria. Don't get me wrong - they aren't cookie cutters. They are distinct and they have an attitude and a presence that is recognizable to all of us. And he also passes on his great temperment and his intelligence. You know the saying that alpacas don't challenge fences? Well someone forgot to tell Nemo. He challenges them all. We swear he knows how to pick locks. He knows how to escape from any fence, gate, paddock, or arena around. I have seen him shimmy under a fence - like a marine crawling under fencing in boot camp. And he has taught his sons. And this is because - he has a one track mind - girls.
One late night Nemo decided it was time for a panty raid. And at 1am in the morning, he pried open a gate, he broke out of "camp"; and led 12 very very happy males over to the girls barn. The girls were thrilled, the boys were thrilled, perhaps I wasn't as thrilled......I had to get them all back. I know he was the instigator because i saw him do it. But to his credit, he also helped me corral one of the most indignant boys and get him haltered and led back down to the boys barn. Nemo pranced back to the boys barn, as proud as could be.
Ever since that night Nemo has been my buddy.
Nemo has many fine attributes other than being a girl loving escape artist. Nemo is as rare as they come... Full Peruvian, solid dark rose grey!!! This male has it all...color, fineness, crimp, charisma, presence, and attitude!! His fle
Dam: Grayson's Golden Princess ARI#
817545 Beige Lovely beige/light fawn female with wonderful carriage and a lovely disposition. A photo of her beautiful classic head is the logo for the NY Classic Halter Show. Princess has terrific cria and is a great mom. Just look below to see what we mean. Neptune, Aymaro Uno and Princess Leah are fine examples of what this dam produces. Lionheart and Prince of Rock are also a great pairing from her. She is the granddam of our Champion Funky White boy!!! Genetics rule!
Description
Rocky was born prematurely, but exhibited a tenacity that served him well as he struggled with floppy feet and an inability to stand during his first days. He taught himself to nurse while kneeling and quickly gained strength and ran and ran up and down the hills, gaining strength daily. He is quite attractive with a white face to go with his brown fleece. He is the darkest alpaca born to Princess (who has always thrown white or fawn) and has the potential to settle into a grey color.
We just love Rocky. He has a wonderful disposition and a great stance that only his sire can take credit for. He has one of the most dense fleece out in our male fields. He has turned grey on his chest, so we do expect him to be slowly turning grey all over.
