808058 Medium Fawn Royal Gold passed in 2013 at about 17 yo. He was one of the nations finest imports. It was quite an eye opener in the 1990's when his first cria started testing at 14 and 15 micron. Many also sustained that fineness until well into adult years. He also produced many black and grey offspring even when bred to lighter colors. Antares is a solid black herdsire with a great disposition that we are still using today. He is among the top 10 Black herdsires in the EPD program for improving both fineness and fleece weight.
Consistent, Persistence, Fineness.... A product of the Antacalla/Allianza breeding program, Royal Gold was originally held as the importer's personal herdsire selection in the last Peruvian importation (1998). His reproducibility is undeniable! He has proven to improve density, fineness and crimp.
Royal Gold has sired numerous Champion, blue ribbon offspring that will always get comments from the judge remarking about their fineness and presence. He was capable of producing all colors, including black and grey.
One of his greatest gifts to his offspring was passing on his strong presence and attitude which is noticeable from birth.
Stargazer's Antares (black) and Royal Rumble are taking over his duties with a new defined purpose. We can now offer his genetics in a greater depth of color and fineness. Rumble has been 15 micron for two years in a row.

Service Sire: Accoyo America Sensation_deleted_2/18/2022 6:30:03 PM ARI#
851811 Dark Fawn Sensation is Caligula in COLOR ! He is the darkest, full Peruvian, son of the highly influential Accoyo Caligula. In his lifetime and of 203 crias, Caligula produced only four full Peruvian fawn males. We are pleased that Sensation is the darkest of that elite group. He consistently throws colors, including black with super dense, and uniform fleece.
He even LOOKS like his sire, carrying Caligula's presence and erect posture. He has, "to-the-tips" crimp, measuring 10 per inch, along with unbelievable density, character, brightness and bundling. Sensation's first cria was a true black out of a brown female. Truly he is Caligula in FULL COLOR.
Among his many accomplishments, he swept the 2005 AOBA Nationals Spin-off. 1st Place Fawn, Highest Scoring Fawn and Judge's Choice out of 260 Huacayas!
Caligula passed away in April of 2003. But, his extreme density, extraordinary crimp and character, from such an exceptional bloodline is available with Sensation. His dam, Flirtation, had been a significant female at PCA. She won the AOBA National fleece show fawn class as a yearling and is also the dam of Futurity Champion Peruvian Microsoft, a breeding male at PCA.
Sensation produces heavily dense crias with uniform character with a very low CV. His primary fibers are virtually indistinguishable from his secondary's. He has an extremely strong frame, very wide chest and an easy personality.
