TUSCAN'S SNOWBABY DI BELLA VITA Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold x SA Peruvian Apollo's Nicolette DOB: 6/9/09, female huacaya Color: White ARI: 31577953 Absolute perfection! 2 years ago we went on a hunt to select 2 or 3 female that would be the ultimate match for Tuscan Gold. Snowbaby's dam, Nicolette, was one of those females. And she has delivered! Snowbaby gives one the image of a sculpture, crafted by the artist with a vision of beauty and inspiration. She is breathtaking in her appearance, perfect in her conformation, and the fleece is stunning. When she stands alert in the pasture, she looks like one of the figurines in the Snowbaby collection. She has excellent bone, level topline, correct leg conformation, total body coverage, and that much desired teddy bear face. Her fleece boasts long staple length, consistent crimp style, uniform throughout, and her sire's trademark of extreme brightness. Can't wait to get this definite show girl to the ring! She will debut at the Alpaca Blastoff Show in Oklahoma in January 2010.

AVERANDA'S 2009 CRIA SA Accoyo Averanda x Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold DOB: 10/15/09, male huacaya Color: Light fawn ARI: Pending This may be another Tuscan Gold! Already at 10 days of age, this cria has the presence, conformation and stature of his sire, and his head is so similar to Tuscan it is uncanny. His fleece is uniform light fawn in color, extremely bright like daddy, and formed in crimpy, curly, little bundles. He will be closely watched throughout his growth and development to see if we are right in this prediction. Can it be? We can hardly wait for him to grow up!

Tuscan's Mezzenotte di Bella Vita Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold x Bella Chocolat ARI: 31754682 DOB: 8/31/09 Color: True Black She's simply gorgeous! And accepted into the prestigious 2010 Futurity auction. She is a solid true black Tuscan Gold daughter, and her fleece has a handle to die for. Soft and fine with the handle one is accustomed to in light colored fleeces, this fleece has uniform color and crimp style, from front to back, head to toe, skin to tip. Mezzenotte exhibits good bone and size for her age and comes from a dam line that has produced multiple champions. Her maternal uncle is our own El Corazon` di Bella Vita, a multiple champion herdsire, still earning fleece championships as a 4-year-old breeding male. Her dam, Chocolat, is our blue ribbon GWAS and AOBA winner and daughter of our senior dam, Cocoa Puffe. Another maternal uncle and paternal half brother, Prosecco, is our medium fawn champion junior herdsire, co-owned with Black Forest Alpacas. Sire Tuscan Gold has stamped his fleece characteristics, frame, head and presence once again on this cria. Mezzenotte has a quiet personality, her sire's upright stature, level topline, as well as his signature brightness of fleece. And what a beautiful head! Mezzenotte's dam line has stellar reproductive qualities. The females are quiet, calm, no issues with pregnancy and have uncomplicated deliveries. There is milk galore as these crias grow rapidly and mature early. We tend to hang on to alpacas from this lineage, so this is a rare opportunity to add these characteristics to your genetic program. This is a quality, true black show cria and maternal half sister to our 2007 AOBA true black female, Lady Raven, who sold for 17K. She is available for your purchase at the 2010 Futurity auction. If you are looking for a quality true black female, this is your girl! | |

TUSCAN'S AMBER WAVE DI BELLA VITA Amazing Grace x Sunny Mesa's Tuscan Gold ARI: 31754705 DOB: 10/4/09 Color/Sex: Medium Fawn female This beautiful Tuscan Gold daughter carries genetic excellence on both sides of her pedigree. The Accoyo Express line is known to produce dense, champion fleeces of color with total body covarge. Tuscan Gold adds to these characteristics and contributes fineness, his trademark extreme brightness, and uniformity in an elite fleece. This girl is no exception. Her medium fawn dam had a 17.2 micron cria fleece and was 19.9 as a yearling with good density. Tuscan maintained a 19.9 micron fleece at age 4. Amber Wave exhibits good bone and is good size for her age, has Daddy's upright stature and presence, balanced frame, level topline and nice head. She is one of the densest of the Tuscan crias with medium to high frequency crimp style. Her dam is an easy keeper and an attentive mother with good milk production as evidenced by Amber's rapid growth and good size. Amber would be a great addition to any program breeding for elite colored fleece. And she is beautiful! |
