Leonardo's crias began to arrive in 2006, and he is consistently passing on his overall "look" and stunning fiber. Leonardo's first cria, in 2006, AML Nobility has had a phenomenal show record: Five Color Championships, three Reserve Color Championships, and nine blue ribbons; plus Judge's Choice and Best Crimp at the 2009 MAPACA as a two-year-old And other of his crias have shown well too: **AML Susanah (grey): One Color Championship **Pine Hill’s Crème Brulee (medium fawn): Three first places, one second place **Calidad Cruise Control (white): Three second places, one third place (in highly competitive white male juvie classes) **Calidad Roxanne: One first place (only show) You won't find many other working males with histogram results to compare to Leonardo's. Leonardo's micron count at 5 years of age is only 21.6, and as you can see from the annual histograms below on the left, his statistics have remained the same for four years in a row (since he was a yearling)! One of our primary breeding goals is fineness that lasts as the alpaca ages, and Leonardo is helping us achieve that goal. Leonardo is one of very few full Accoyo sons of 4P Legacy, now deceased, a herdsire who was legendary for his fiber remaining very fine past ten years of age and for producing highly prized offspring. With 4Peruvian Legacy as his sire and Accoyo Grand Master daughter as his grandsire, Leonardo has spectacular lineage. He has beautiful, fine, bright, soft, crimpy, consistent fleece. Solid bone, a pleasing head, and all-around excellent conformation complete the picture of a top herdsire. One judge described him at 3-1/2 years old as a "superb male." A half interest in Leonardo is for sale. I plan to retain the other half interest. Fleece samples and histograms are available for multiple years.

Don't let Arabesque's low price fool you. She is an exceptional female, and I am trying to down-size in a slow economy. Covered in soft, curly fleece from head to toe, Arabesque is pure quality. She took a second place in full fleece halter at the AOBA Nationals, where she also helped her sire win second place in Get of Sire. Her two male full siblings, Xanadu P. Placido and Xanadu P. Thelonius, are currently standing stud, and both of them have won multiple color and reserve championships. Arabesque's sire is Xanadu P. Presidio, Caligula son and a 7-time Get of Sire winner, who is no longer available for outside breedings. Her dark fawn dam, 5P Henriette, has been an extraordinary producer of high-quality offspring. In 2006, she gave birth to an elite medium fawn Jericho daughter, Calidad Ambrosia, who took a first place ribbon at the AOBA nationals. Arabesque gave birth on September 2, 2007 to a white male, Calidad Tolstoy, sired by our Accoyo Leonardo. Most recently she produced a light brown female cria, Calidad Firefly, who has obvious show potential. Arabesque has been bred back to Calidad Redford, our new fawn herdsire. Redford's full uncle is none other than the remarkable Victor's HemiAccoyo Casanova, out of the Booher's prestigious breeding program at Timberland Alpacas in Oregon and owned by AOBA judge Diana Timmerman of Aussie Acres Alpacas in Colorado.
