Sire: Shavano

32138979<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Shavano is a true black, full Peruvian, half Accoyo male who was named the 2010 AAA Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year. His lock and density are extreme for a black suri. His mother, GLL Macatawa is a medium fawn daugher of 4 P Macusani, one of our foundation females who had 8 female crias for us in a row. Shavano's sire is 4 P Miguel a white, full accoyo male. As a juvenile, Shavano was Black Male Color Champion at the AAA Futurity in 2006 and Reserve at MAPACA. As a yearling he was first in his class at both the AAA Futurity and AOBA that year, after being shorn the previous spring. His first crop of crias were shown in 2009. We only showed two crias that year, GLR Arappaho, now owned by Linda Kondris of Pine's Edge Suri Alpacas in Colorado, who won both the MAPACA and AOBA Black Male Color Championship, and GLR Tica, who was the Reserve Brown Female Champion at both the AAA Futurity and MAPACA. So far this spring GLR Tica has gone on to win the Reserve Brown Female Championship at the 2010 AAA Futurity as a yearling and the Brown Female Color Championship and Judges Choice at GWAS in Denver. Shavano also won Get of Sire in Denver, with three colored suris. Shavano won the Dark Herdsire of the year at the AAA Futurity with 4 Reserve Color Championships in both Black and Brown, in both the male and female catagories. GLR Tica went on to win the 2010 AOBA Nationals Brown Female Color Championship and GLR Ali was awarded the 2010 ABOA Reserve Black Female Color Championship. Shavano offspring were responsible for Great Lakes Ranch being named the 2010 and the 2011 AAA Futurity Medium Size Breeder of the Year and the 2012 AAA Futurity Reserve Breeder of the Year. 2012 MAPACA 1st Place Get of Sire 2012 MAPACA 2nd Place Breeders Best of Three 2011 AAA Futurity 6th Get of Sire ( 13 total entries) 2011 Mapaca- 2nd Get of Sire 2010 AAA Futurity- Dark Herdsire of the Year 2010 GWAS 1st Place Get of Sire 2010 GWAS 2nd Place Breeders Best of Three 2007 AAA Fu<--description-->

Dam: LCA Jaimica

32138979<--ari-->Dark Brown<--color-->We purchased Jaimica from Jack and Kelly Armstrong of Latah Creek. A three time Color Champion, Jaimica is a beautiful mahogany brown, dense, and super lustrous with a gorgeous head and a calm and wonderful disposition. Her sire is two time AAA Futurity Grey Champion, Prince Greystone. Her dam is Snowmass Foxy Lady, who Don and Julie Skinner consider one of the top two dams of their Snowmass suri herd. Jaimica's first cria born was a super lustrous and greasy fawn Rico daughter. In 2009, she had a killer true black Shavano son who made his debut in the show ring at the AAA Futurity in Oklahoma City, and won Reserve Black Male Color Champion, then on to GWAS and AOBA Nationals. In 2015 his offspring earned Rastamon the AAA Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year. He is unquestionably the most dense, greasy and lustrous black we have ever produced on the farm. Jaimica's 2011 cria, also sired by Shavano was another jet black, dense and lustrous cria...but a girl this time, GLR Jamaica. Jamiaca was a multiple Color Champion over her two year show career, ending it at AOBA Nationals with her last Color Championship and the coveted Judges Choice Award. She was purchased by Linda Kondris of Pines Edge Suri Ranch in CO. In 2012 Jaimica was bred to GLR Picasso and gave birth to yet another true black female GLR Jamiyah who won Black Female Color Champion at the 2015 AOA Nationals, and Black Female Color Champion and Female Judges Choice at both the AAA Futurity and the MAPACA Jubilee .Her 2014 Cinders son, is mahogany brown just like her named GLR Justice. This young guy was probably the nicest male cria we had in our crop of kids from 2014. He was purchased by Linda Kondris and Mike and Janet Wilkins. Jaimica's 2015 male cria, sired by Picasso, GLR Joaquin ended his first year on the show circuit winning Reserve Brown Male Color Champion at AOA Nationals, the 2016 MAPACA Jubilee and 3rd place at the AAA Futurity starting his first show at just a few days over 6 months old.

SuriHerdsire (Male)True Black

AOA# 35064183DOB: 11/5/201311 yrs

Our VADER'S kids have hit the show ring, big time. True black son, Uproar, has been named 2 X AOA Supreme Champion and Judge's Choice at Futurity and GWAS. Vader's son Cinch has been named AOA National Black Champion and Vader son, Lights Out was named Champion black male at GWAS, while Vader son Applejack was named Champion fawn male at GWAS. Vader won the Get of Sire, dark offspring, class at AOA Nationals. What a start for the Vader kids!! VADER is a true black herdsire with exact conformation and top biopsy scores to support his fleece quality. And, he is deep true black offering the possibility of rich color in his offspring. VADER has an outstanding pedigree and is sired by the famous Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar who was named 2015 Res Herdsire of the Year. Vader's dam, Stone Brook's Midnight Lockdown is a true black multiple champion including AOBA Nationals. Add these genetics to Vader's biopsy scores and you can see why we're so excited about this boy. EXCEPTIONAL BIOPSY SCORES: DENSITY - 68 follicles/sq. mm (average 44.3), SECONDARY/PRIMARY FIBERS- S/P ratio, 12.1-1 (average 9.5-1), LUSTER - 4/4 glands (average 2.9), FINENESS - secondary fibers 21.5 (average 24.1). (Averages are for Suri Males, 2014 thru March 2016, Dr Norm Evans). Please click the article tab above and read the Skin Biopsies article, by Liz Vahlkamp, to more fully understand the importance of these outstanding scores. Vader can definitely add density, luster and fineness to his offspring and his locks are consistent and well defined. VADER experienced a significant fleece break as a youngster and as a result was never shown in full fleece. It remains for his offspring to bring home the banners. I'm proud to co-own Vader with Mike and Janet Wilkins at Wilkin's Ranch Alpacas.

Description

Big Thank You to Lisa and Bob at Memory MACRES Suris in New Jersey for the purchase of Jamaica. She will continue to produce champions with their outstanding studs, GLR Picasso and Goldstar's Vader. In over 20 years, Jamaica is the best we've had at Pines Edge. We retain her twice Supreme Champion son, Uproar. GLR JAMAICA is simply phenomenal! She is a solid jet black with a fleece that just hasn't any equal. Her dense fleece consists of layer upon layer of glistening wave and twist locks and her conformation is exact with strong bone and good capacity topped off with a great Suri head. The Judge's recognized her excellence and awarded her JUDGE'S CHOICE at the 2013 AOBA NATIONAL show. A rare achievement for a black! Here's the proof. Three cria by different studs and all have achieved an AOA National Championship!!! Jamaica is a true black, full Peruvian, rare Shavano daughter. Shavano is a legend at Great Lakes Ranch and Herdsire of the Year, 2010. Her dam is LCA Jaimica, the daughter of one of Snowmass Alpacas favorite suri dams, Snowmass Foxy Lady. Jamaica shows great presence and has a sweet disposition. She is a Futurity Champion and twice Champion at AOBA Nationals. She did it as a juvenile and continued as a yearling to leave judges in awe of her solid build and amazing fleece. Biopsy Report, 28 months, Dr Norm Evans - "GLR Jamaica would place in the top 1% of Suri females based on density, (62), S/P ratio, (13.9), and gland presence, (4/4) ." Jamaica's secondary fibers were rated as 21.4 micron showing great fineness, especially for black. Jamaica delivered a striking, true black female cria, Jetina, in September 2014 sired by Black Beau of PVA. Big thanks to Mike and Janet Wilkins for adding Jetina to their outstanding suri herd. Jamaica's 2016 model is a handsome black boy, Blackrock, by Cinders a Great Lakes Ranch black stud closed to outside breedings. Blackrock was named Res Champion at AOA Nationals and GWAS. In 2017 Jamaica delivered another outstanding cria, a true black son, Uproar, by Vader. This is a solid boy showing great presence with lots of luster and lock. Watch for him in the 2018 shows. We watched, and he is now the 2018 AOA National Suri Male Supreme Champion, Futurity Judge's Choice Suri Male and GWAS Judge's Choice Suri Male. WOW! Jamaica deliver a beautiful true black female, 8/2/2019. This girl is the full sister of two time National Supreme Champion Uproar. Get her quick. Jamaica is bred back to Vader.
