King Richard is a genetic powerhouse and is pushing those genetics and excellent fleece characteristics into his cria. Part of his appeal is that his genetics are rare in the west. That fits in with our goal of providing proven but rare genetics for out-crossing to create hybrid vigor. Among his ancestors are AOA champion Accoyo Troubador, CCNF Archangel, Accoyo Elite, 13x champion Sunset Hills Citation, Reserve AOA champion Accoyo America North Star....and the list goes on. For what ever reason, Ricky did not grow at the rate of his peers, so did not get the opportunity to participate in halter shows as he was maturing. In 2020, his fleece was submitted to the AOA National Fleece show and he received a blue ribbon in his class. Our excitement grows everyday as we see his cria enter this world and mature. Ricky is co-owned with Dundee Farm Alpacas. Fiber Testing: 7 year fleece; afd 22.6 3 year fleece; afd 19.1

Silky, Silky, Silky fleece with tremendous brightness is the best way to describe Rico's Tenacious. The finess represented in this fleece is exactly what we were planning for when we chose DDF Peruvian Rico Suave as the service sire for Xanadu Clandestine; The integration of the Accoyo Elite, Hemingway, Maple Brook Barnabus and Peruvian Presidio have generated a extremely fine fleeced young male with great conformation; Rico's Tenacious has staple length that is unbelievable and the bundling of fiber into fine fingers is amazing for his young age. We understand that Tenacious is the last born son of the great RicoSuave who was well known for his tremendous lingering fineness; Tenacious's 2014 stats suggest he may have inherited that trait.
