Sire: Captain Nemo ARI#
849790 Dark Rose Grey We love Nemo. We all love Nemo, from our partners the Sweeney's at Celtic Criations to all who come to our farm. He is proud, he is stately, he is charming and he truly may be one of the smartest alpacas I have ever met. He definitely knows that he is king over his world, he controls his herd, and they all are much better behaved with Nemo around.
Nemo has many wonderful traits that he passes onto his progeny, from incredible conformation, exquisite fineness, lovely crimp, and excellent density. He stamps them - and you can always tell a Nemo cria. Don't get me wrong - they aren't cookie cutters. They are distinct and they have an attitude and a presence that is recognizable to all of us. And he also passes on his great temperment and his intelligence. You know the saying that alpacas don't challenge fences? Well someone forgot to tell Nemo. He challenges them all. We swear he knows how to pick locks. He knows how to escape from any fence, gate, paddock, or arena around. I have seen him shimmy under a fence - like a marine crawling under fencing in boot camp. And he has taught his sons. And this is because he has a one track mind - girls.
Here's a story: One late night Nemo decided it was time for a panty raid. And at 1am in the morning, he pried open a gate, he broke out of "camp"; and led 12 very very happy males over to the girls barn. The girls were thrilled, the boys were thrilled, perhaps I wasn't as thrilled......I had to get them all back. I know he was the instigator because i saw him do it. But to his credit, he also helped me corral one of the most indignant boys and get him haltered and led back down to the boys barn. Nemo pranced back to the boys barn, as proud as could be.
Ever since that night Nemo has been my buddy.
Nemo has many fine attributes other than being a girl loving escape artist. Nemo is as rare as they come... Full Peruvian, solid dark rose grey!!! This male has it all...color, fineness, crimp, charisma, presence, and atti
Dam: Pukina's Elektra ARI#
833331 Medium Rose Grey A gorgeous striking dark silver grey. The first time I saw her she was running through the fields away from the Double E's Hannibal - proving that she was bred. She struck me by how beautiful she was to watch running. I am still stunned by her beauty when she is just standing in the field. Her color (depending on the time of year) leans towards a blue/grey and with her distinguished lightning bolt facial markings and lovely tuxedo she is just gorgeous to watch.
Elektra still has some of the finest fiber on our farm - and still looks like a yearling. a lovely girl. She had a beautiful black female cria from Captain Nemo this year. We named her Black Diamond, and she is all that and more!!!
Currently, Elektra has been bred to Morning Mist Farm's Sienna Mist for a Spring 2012 cria-we can't wait to see what this brings.
Description
Black Diamond is a lovely female from Elektra and Captain Nemo. We bred Nemo to Elektra in hopes on improving size in her crias. And we were successful! We are confident that Black Diamond will be a great mom, as well. You can see in her stance that she has picked up the one and only stylings of Captain Nemo.
coming soon!!
