Sire: KVR's PERUVIAN TRUE EYE CANDY ~ "IKE" - SOLD ARI#
32736366 Medium Silver Grey Congratulations and thank you to James and Ichi Kwon, of Sunny Alpacas, for their purchase of Ike!
~ PERUVIAN TRUE EYE CANDY "IKE" ~ NEW GENETICS FOR THE SELECTIVE BREEDER
Eye Candy, known as Ike, is a mature silver-grey male producing stunning foundation females at Alpaca Country Estates. We have been very thankful to have him as a herdsire for many years. We are thrilled to have such an outstanding stud in our grey breeding program!
In his younger years Ike was the best grey male around. His miraculous grey fleece checked all the boxes. His fleece, year after year, continued to win banners. Ike's advanced Judge's Choice fleece, which scored 87 points - puts him in a very small class of elite classic gray herdsires. In halter, he was awarded Color Champion at arguably the toughest halter show in the country, the Futurity. He also took an AOA Grey Reserve Championship with over 40 grey males competing. He is a nine-time champion! Judged to be superior in quality, by senior judges, in both halter and fleece shows. This is the mark of an elite male.
Please see his fleece score card pictured here.
Scores such as these are rarely awarded to alpacas of any color.
His first three shearings each won at least one championship - proving lasting quality.

Ike has fantastic lineage as the son of 6x Champion MFI Peruvian Candyman. His Dam, KVR’s True elegance is also a banner winner. On the topside of Ike’s pedigree, it doesn’t appear to carry much grey, however it contains five generations of grey producing ancestors going all the way back to importation. On his bottom side, it is six generations of grey producing ancestors. Ike himself is producing grey in 52% of his offspring.
SIRE OF NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Ike has already produced National Champions in both Black and Gray! With the addition of many new herdsires at ACE, this 9x champion male is ready to grace new pastures. Take Ike home to create beautiful grey cria of your own. Ike may also be available in a package with grey production females, contact us for special pricing!

ATV Addonnis came from this bloodline.

Description
Elektra did great in her first shows. Beautiful soft crimpy fleece. She is from one of the most influential gray males in the country. If you are breeding for gray, this could be your girl.
She was bred to OA's Epic Romance for a Spring 2023 cria. Romeo is a Blackbeard son, so this cria could be spectacular. We will be keeping a close eye on little Shawnee to see if she will be joining our show string. Elektra's been doing great for a first time mom.
For 2024, we decided to go off farm for Elektra's breeding to Snowmass Occult. He is a handsome black male that currently resides at Cotton Creek. Looking forward to meeting this baby.
