Fiona is our first cria from our Captain Morgan/ Fiorenza breeding program and.....my oh my.....what a stunning combination! This little girl is a FULL 5th generation US born suri. All ancestors for 5 generations are listed on her ARI - no imports and no unknowns. There are very few of these in the country - this girl is 100% USA Suri!
Fiona has inherited all the suri characteristics that we are breeding for - tiny pencilled locks, that oily feel to her lustrous fleece, incredible handle, and a very typey suri head.
Her dam, The Captain's Miss Chloe, placed in virtually every show she was shown in, including Color Champion at 2004 Alpaca Futurity. Chloe delivers her crias unassisted and produces healthy birth weights and weight gains (her first cria was weaned at 4 mos. and 62 lbs.!) Her fleece regrowth is locked every year and she maintains a very high degree of luster.
Fiona's sire, Fiorenza of PVA, brings good bone structure, size, and strong genetics to the plate in this combination. Our purchase of Fio was long thought out and our search for him was lengthy. We wanted to find that next generation male to breed our Captain Morgan daughters. Fio not only has 3 generations of champion ancestors, he stands alone on his suri phenotype and the qualities he is imparting to his offspring.
