This champion grey herdsire has it all! Vantaggio has been given the stamp of approval by the show judges and his incredible Multi-Reserve and Color Champion show record speaks for itself. Perfect conformation, compelling presence, excellent crimp, amazing staple length, extreme color, luster and sheen with a beautiful head and a very dense top knot are all exactly what you should be looking for in a herdsire, and the fact that Vantaggio possesses all of these qualities places him heads above the rest! Vantaggio is a stunning male with a strong and well-balanced heavy bone structure. His bite is perfectly aligned under the top pallet and centered correctly. Very much like his sire, Bisturi, himself a grey Multi-Color Champion, Vantaggio has a commanding presence and is phenotypically stunning to behold! Vantaggio possesses superior huacaya genetics with a pedigree that includes Bisturi, Silver Sage, Peruvian Drambuie, He is truly an outstanding male, from head to toe and represents everything a breeder looking for a grey & black background wants & desires in their program! * This male is co-owned with Lin & Steve Murray - Lassen View Alpacas.

Bella is something incredible exquisite! You will hear terms like modern silver grey, harlequin, platinum grey-- well roll them all into one and that is Bella. This coloration in incredibly rare, one of the absolute rarest alpacas colors out there. Bella is a solid platinum silver harlequin and her name, Bella Gris, meaning "beautiful grey" could not be more appropriate. Bella began life as a light fawn cria and by two years of age, she was completely grey-- except for her top-knot and leg fringe. She is completely spotless and the most beautiful light silver grey. While harlequins are not too common-- the solid, platinum variety such as this-- well, there may be a handful, at most, in the United States. So sometimes we find these special colored alpacas and then some other aspect falls short for a breeding program. Well, not with Bella. She has a very desirable build and beautiful fleece with nice crimp and lock structure. Before starting her production career, Bella had a nice run in the show ring-- 2X banner winner and 6 blue and red ribbons in just 7 shows. And for those of you wondering, she was shown in the grey class :-) Before joining the Rare Gem herd, Bella produced 3 lovely cria. Two females and one male-- all grey-- one harlequin grey!

Description

And a little history on Harley... Years ago I looked out into a large herd of alpacas when I was visiting a ranch and one alpaca in particular caught my eye. Before I even knew what a harlequin was, the stunning Bella Gris started my journey to learn about harlequins and what makes them so very special. In 2016, I had an opportunity to add this beautiful harlequin daughter of Bella Gris to my herd. Their looks are very different, one a very light silver grey platinum harlequin and the other a darker version-- both simply exquisite! While Harley's color is a variation of her dam's, she carries the same beautiful phenotype of her dam and sire-- LV Vantaggio Di Bisturi--with fleece to die for. And for those Bisturi and Assie Rockford lovers-- Harley is the granddaughter of both! UPDATE: 2021 Fiber Stat results just in. Please note Harley's test scores... her stats practically unchanged since 2014!
