Sparticus di Bella Vita, Epic son

Contessa di Bella Vita, Epic's 2006 cria
CLOUDYPASS' PERUVIAN EPIC
PPeruvian Baron x Colorado Delilah (Aureo granddaughter)
Beige, full Peruvian, 1/2 Accoyo proven herdsire
DOB:  12/9/01
ARI No.:  833192
 
This is a proven, beige, full Peruvian, 1/2 Accoyo male with incredible density, tight rope-like lock structure and luster to boot!  Add that to this big-boned male, and you have the perfect herdsire.  His first cria at Bella Vita, Sparticus, hit the ground in 10/05 and is beautiful!  He is big, was 60 pounds at 2 months of age, has dark fawn fleece that assembled itself into locks from day one.  Sparticus was one of three offspring presented at the 2006 GWAS show that earned Epic a 3rd place ribbon out of 8 class entries, his first get of sire class.  Epic's contribution to improving the dam's fleece in this young male is very evident.  We were so pleased with this cria that mom was bred back to Epic.  The second cria of tihs pairing is also spectacular, just like her big brother.  Contessa, born in 10/06, is just as tall and stretchy as her brother with the same fleece characteristics that make Sparticus such a standout.   Epic stamps his beautiful typey head on his crias as well, along with his perfect topline, the best topline we have seen in the industry. 
 
This breeding exemplifies our philosophy of combining the best genetics from all that South American alpacas have to offer, in this case beautiful color, early reproductive maturity, luster and large body capacity from the Chilean dam and the lock structure, dense fleece, luster, good bone and conformation from the Peruvian/Accoyo sire line.

CAPITANO LUCIANO DI BELLA VITA
Captain Morgan x Lucy Brown La Boliviana
DOB: 11/10/06
COLOR:  Dark Brown with black points
ARI No.:  30696150
3/4 Bolivian, 1/4 Peruvian, 1/4 Accoyo
 
The birth of Luciano in Novemer 2006 marked the only male born of 8 crias that  year.  But what a male he is!  He is all we hoped for when we chose to breed our light fawn dam, Lucy Brown, to the one and only Captain Morgan.  Luciano is a spitting image of his famous sire, and he possesses an attitude and presence destined to catch the judges' eyes in the show ring.  At 4 months of age, he already had a full suri beard, and his fleece drips with luster as if he were pulled straight up from an oil can.  Tiny tight locks are forming in this young fleece independently to the skin from head to toe and front to back.  He has black points on his ears and muzzle, and his  feet/lower legs are starting to exhibit black color.  His rich maroon solid fleece just glistens in the sunlight.  This is a well balanced, stretchy suri male with excellent bite and beautiful head.  Top off Luciano's fearless personality and commanding presence, and we think we have a  great herdsire in the making.

This absolutely breathtaking male stops people in their tracks when he goes on a walk at the shows.  His dark fawn locks and draping fleece swing as he walks and show off the luster inherited from his parents.  He is a large boned male with flat topline, dense fleece and generous coverage down his legs, with locking neck and topknot fiber.  He has a ropey lock style that originates from the skin.  He is a well proportioned male with that tall stretchy look characteristic of top quality suri alpacas.  He is an early maturing male, weighing 160 pounds at 15 months of age with adult size testicle already in place.  His presence, style, conformation and fleece have earned Sparticus blue ribbons at various shows, but the absolute best part of tihs male is his laid back personality and easy going manner.  He is a joy to handle, and our vet always comments that she wishes more people would breed alpacas with this temperament. 
 
Sparticus is just about ready to start breeding, and we can't wait to see his offspring.  He will add size, bone, gorgeous fleece, early maturity and a great personality to his crias.
