Our Marko is a real sleeper--he's absolutely gorgeous, and we think he has valuable depth of genotype AND phenotype. Marko has silky, well- demarcated pencilled black locks to the skin with gorgeous luster. He has a PERFECT head! The judges at the West Coast Alpaca show (Wade Gease and Winnie La Breque--THEY know a thing or 2 about suris,...) LOVED him and awarded him 2 halter championships, including the prestigious Champion Processing-Length Suri--for ALL shorn suris--male and female! He is calm and manageable, and has a sturdy, compact, correct and balanced frame. We LOVE this guy! Oooh...now here's a tantalizing "factoid". Marko's FULL Sister, Siriana, just had an appy/rose grey cria by Balboa of PVA, who is true black. Siriana is true black like her brother, but this means she is probably phenotypically black and GENOTYPICALLY appy/Modern Grey! We think Marko might carry the same genotype! And in his last 2 shows, Marko color-checked as "indeterminant dark""--basically black with a regular distribution of white fibers. Sure sounds a lot like a very dark grey.... With his potential for grey (from sire, Greystone), and black genetics going back to Sirius Black and Kobe, Greystone's Marko has it all. Cindy Harris of Alpacas at Windy Hill was transporting Marko to GWAS, and fell in love with him. We are now partners in Marko! We are honored that Cindy sees the same great potential in this male that we do. He spent the summer of 2016 at Alpacas at Windy Hill working on his resume. Marko has finished his sabbatical at Windy Hill, having produced 3 BLACK and 2 BROWN crias, with more to come next year! Marko can be found at Alpacas of Marin in the North San Francisco Bay area.

Marygold's bloodlines are impressive--the legendary Sirius Black is her sire, and he brings in the pedigree of MacGyver and Bruxo. Her dam, Paiget of PVA, is a lustrous black Kobe daughter and she follows in the lines of Mahogany Prince. Marygold is an eye-catching medium fawn girl, but with black genetics from sire and dam, she can certainly produce darker offspring. She has had 4 crias--all uneventful pregnancies and deliveries, and she has been a great mom. Marygold has passed her very cute head to all of her crias--short muzzle, curly bangs. She has also passed on density and luster, and her quiet, reserved personality. This is a true quality animal! Marygold had a gorgeous rose grey/appy female by AOBA champion, WWR Prince Greystone. Each of her 4 offspring have her curly bangs and lustrous fleece, good bite, and solid, well-balanced frame. Now she is bred to multi champion and sire of champions, the legendary Derwydd Accoyo Chaska due Spring 2023! UPDATE: Marygold's cria Willie B Special is our favorite 2023 cria. He has the proud, regal bearing of his sire Chaska and his gorgeous light fawn fleece literally sparkles in the sun. We're looking forward to taking him into the show ring in 2024.
