Sire: Aztec D'Marco ARI#
30405721 White D’Marco is a true representation of the quality stock that a breeding program strives to produce. D’Marco’s sire, RFA D’Arcy, is well known for the consistency of his progeny showing improved, high-end fleece characteristics packed onto solid frames.
D’Marco’s profile is a study of the ideal alpaca phenotype. Handsome body proportion, a solid, flawless frame and classic head style create a striking picture. Carrying a notable trait passed on from his sire, D’Marco shows a low percentage of medullation throughout his fleece – a highly desirable characteristic in superior alpaca fibre.
D’Marco carries within him, some of the very best full Peruvian genetics Canada has to offer. Grandsires, Coyo Destini and Viracocha from the famed Australian Jolimont herd provide a strong basis for his pedigree. Those who know the elite Canadian bloodlines will need no introduction to his granddams, two of the core national matriarchs, Grazia and Peruvian Snappy, both females who have produced many champions during their productive lifetimes.
As with any sire, proof of his worth is in what he can produce. To date I have been very impressed with his offspring in terms of their perfect confirmation, solid bone structure and the character in their fine, dense fleece. You can judge for yourself, pictures of all his cria are shown here, all from different females.
