Co-owned by Renaissance Ridge Alpacas and UINTA ALPACAS and residing in Utah right off of I-80 for easy transport access! Gun's A'Blazin' did in fact come into our herd in a "blaze" and took us through an incredible ride as a youngster. He was without question the best fleeced alpaca that we had seen in our herd. He went on to have a brilliant show career and start his breeding career at only 23 months of age. He was biopsied and follicle tested by Ian Watt and as of July 2010, is the densest non white alpaca ever tested by or either through him or Jim Watt's lab in Australia, of any in the world. Although we rely heavily on biopsies for density, we put equal importance on histograms and especially "hand and eye", none of which Blaze has disappointed us with. More importantly, his production has been nothing less than outstanding having produced champions in grey, black, brown and fawn. We have our own "in house" EPD system and unfortunately are unable to demonstrate the analytics on Blaze's offspring. All of the ones in our herd have been done to date (9/2015): Have a look at the data on the his page on the Renaissance Ridge website...the remarkable thing in our breeding scheme is not only that he has consistently and dramatically improved fiber density over the dams, many of whose data can be linked to, but that density has been accompanied by an across the board improvement the differential in micron between primary and secondary fiber, and an excellent SD in each fiber population. Likewise the progeny histograms support the improvement in fineness, and uniformity. Blaze has been a powerful influence in our breeding program. Density: 78.3/mm2 S:P ratio 11.2:1 in skin P 27.5 SD 3.6 in skin S 19.6 SD 3.3

Melani has a bright very uniform, high amplitude, dense fleece on a sturdy but compact, beautifully proportioned frame. There is grace and elegance in her movement. Her color genetics include grey from her dad, Patagonia's Quijote, who is out of the reknowned Danko and her maternal grandsire who is a medium rose grey Yupanqui son. Melani's only been shown twice and only seen blue. Her 2008 cria, RR Gun's Gold Panner is a stunning solid lavender rose grey with no tuxedo markings and uniform color across his blanket. For 2009 she produced RR Gun's Next of Kin, a classic silver grey, who stands on our herdsire row. She confirmed that she carries a recessive black allele not just from having produced a siver grey in 2010, but producing an outstanding true black male male, sith RR Guns A'Blazin' as sire...and what a male he is. RR Lorenzo di Medici is carrying the finest, densest cria fiber that we have yet seen in our program!
