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.
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 attitude!! His fle
Dam: Thompson Hollow Miss Marilyn ARI#
814350 Light Fawn Miss Marilyn is a classic Accoyo looking Peruvian Huacaya. Marilyn's grandsire is Royal Fawn and her sire is Kenamori Gold, both males of distinction. If you look at a picture of Royal Fawn, Marilyn is his "spitting image"! :-)
Marilyn is a large, square female. She produces well-covered, conformationally correct, square crias.
Miss Marilyn has won 2 Blue Ribbons on halter, Best Owned and Bred and a 3rd place ribbon AOBA National Spinoff, 2003.
Marilyn gave birth to the most outstanding nutmeg brown female in 2008. So beautiful we named her Bewitching Samantha. The sire was our own Captain Nemo. And though we really wanted to breed Marilyn to a Bay Black or True black we decided that we would redo the breeding. Another Samantha would be outstanding. And, lo and behold!, she did produce another Samantha...but in a darker shade of brown! We named her Lady Nema to follow the Miss Marilyn and Captain Nemo. We like this breeding so much we went back for a 3rd time. In the Fall of 2010, she gave birth to a boy, Arronax, who has just started his show career. We invite you to meet her and all the others here at the farm. :)
Description
Another beautiful Nemo male and stunning boy out of Miss Marilyn. Arronax shows all the promise of his sire. We're betting that he will be a welcome addition to anyone's breeding program. Add some gorgeous color to your herd!
