Diamonte of PVA now belongs to AJ's Alpaca Ranch in Navarre, Ohio. We have included him in our database because PVA still owns many of his children and grandchildren. Any inquiries regardin Diamonte of PVA should be directed to Erin Williams-Kerns of AJ's Alpaca Ranch. Here is a sampling of Diamonte's Championship winning offspring--4th Generation Champion: Black Beau of PVA 2010 IAO Color Champion and Supreme Color Champion The Countess of PVA 2010 Futurity Color Champion Mirante of PVA 2009 Futurity Color Champion Palmira of PVA 2009 CABA Classic Color Champion Mikimoto of PVA 2008 AOBA Nationals Color Champion Delahaye of PVA 2008 AOBA Nationals Color Champion Diamonte's Diva of PVA 2008 AOBA Nationals Color Champion Black Tie of PVA 2008 AWE Reserve Color Champion Cream Brulee of PVA 2009 CABA Classic Color Champion Marzipan of PVA 2008 CABA Classic Reserve Color Champion Sweetsuccess of PVA 2008 AWE Reserve Color Champion Nuance of PVA 2009 AOBA Nationals Reserve Color Champion La Mystere of PVA 2009 Futurity Reserve Color Champion Miura of PVA 2010 IAO Reserve Color Champion Mr. Liberio of PVA 2012 IAO Color Champion Fabuloso of PVA 2012 IAO Reserve Color Champion

Black Beauty has been an important individual among PVA’s production females for these last five years. Her notable offspring include Diamonte’s Diva (2006) and Black Beau (2008), who this year won IAO Supreme CHAMPION and became a 4th Generation COLOR CHAMPION winning at both AOBA Nationals and the Futurity, as well as Beyonce (2005), Black Bella (2007), Bettina (2009), and a pearly-white female in 2010. Each cria has enjoyed good health and great mothering from Black Beauty. Black Beauty stands out from the herd thanks to her true-black coloring, her expressive eyes, and the tightly-curling ringlets on her face and neck. We decided to try something a bit different for 2010, and bred her to Corneliani instead of Kobe or Diamonte. Corneliani won 1st Place halter and 1st Place Best Head in the 2007 Internaional Alpaca Odyssey. He also placed 1st Place AOBA National. Reserve Champion 2006 Futurity, Reserve Champion 2006 AWE, Reserve Champion 2005 AWE, Reserve Champion 2005 Buckeye, 1st Place 2005 MAPACA Eastern Jubilee. She delivered a female cria by Corneliani in September of 2010. Black Beauty gave birth to a true black female cria by Balboa for 2012. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, this cria is a sterling example of what both her sire and dam are capable of producing-- luster and locks, good conformation, winning disposition! Black Beauty is breeding to Chakotah's Wyuna for 2013, at the request of her new owner.

There are few alpaca herd sires in the same league as MacGyver’s Balboa. He is co-owned by Park View All American Alpacas in Oregon and Victoria Lane Alpacas in Ohio. During the course of his show career Balboa racked up 16 Halter Championships-- 13 Color Championships and 3 Reserve Championships. And his fleece won a few awards too. At the MAPACA 2008 Fleece competition, Balboa’s fleece was awarded a First Place and Best Suri Locks. Then at the 2008 AOBA National Fleece Show, Balboa was awarded First Place and Reserve Color Championship. His fleece also received a Special Award at Nationals for Best Suri Locks. Balboa’s offspring have accrued more than 25 championships among them to date! Though he is true black, Balboa specializes in both light and dark colored offspring, and both do equally well in the show ring. Thus it is at the 2011 Futurity, he was named both Dark Herd Sire of the Year and Reserve Light Herd Sire of the Year. Included on the light side of the family, from Park View Alpacas, are: Lucieno of PVA, 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; the divine Imperial Princess of PVA, 2011 IAO Supreme Color Champion, 2011 CABA Color Champion, and 2011 Futurity Res Color Champion; Balboa’s Fanfare of PVA, the 2011 IAO Color Champion; Chablis of PVA: 2010 GWAS Res. Color Champion, and 2011 IAO Best Head; and blue-ribbon-winning and future color champion Chardonnay of PVA: 1st 2011 AOBA National Show, 1st 2011 Futurity, 1st 2011 GWAS, and 2011 IAO Best Head. But wait, Balboa makes dark Color Champions as well! These include, again from Park View Alpacas: Bejeweled of PVA, 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; Nataliah of PVA, half-sister of PVA Mahogany Prince and 2011 AOBA National Show Color Champion; Chanterelle of PVA, 2011 Futurity Color Champion and 2011 AOBA National Show Reserve Color Champion; Fawnessa of PVA, 2011 IAO Color Champion; and the immortal, memorable Testaverde of PVA: 2011 Color Champion at the IAO, the CABA Classic, the AOBA National Show, and 2010 Futurity Color Champion. Balboa has also sired some champions for Victoria Lane Alpacas. His first offspring to hit the ground, Balboa’s Adrienne, won 3 Reserve Championships during her show career. Then Adrienne’s full sister, Balboa’s Lexi, came along and also took 3 Reserve Championships—FABA 2011, Best of US 2011, and CABO 2011. In addition to these accomplishments, Balboa is just plain an all-around great guy. He’s friendly and intelligent, easy to handle, comes when he’s called, doesn’t cause problems with other males, and treats his ladies with dignity. UPDATE: NEW CO-OWNERS M&M ALPACAS OF NORTH CAROLINA
