Sire: Wirrpunda (Pucara Sur-Real Wirrpunda) ARI#
31041614 True Black What can we tell you about this Sirius Black (serious, serious black) son? Wirrpunda gives what people are looking for: multiple True Black offspring that exhibit the Suri phenotype. And, at 12 years of age, WIrrpunda is still holding great fiber stats.
Though we all know and appreciate grandsire, MacGyver, Wirrpunda's dam side (Pucara Alicia) is rare and unrelated to most Suris in the country today (sire deceased). Take advantage of his unique pedigree and great phenotype! Call us about breeding.
Dam: Silver Select (WLK Silver Select) ARI#
31215022 Dark Silver Grey What a beauty! Silver Select is a beautiful dark silver gray, with excellent conformation. She is regal in her bearing and very self-confident. She is a dynamite mother, protective and patient, who breeds easily, births easily, and has plenty of milk. Her cria grow rapidly and are very healthy.
At almost 14 years old, Silver Select is still in the top 10% EPDs for AFD and % of fibers over 30 micron, top 15% for Spin Fineness.
Her first cria, born in 2010, Synergy's Silver Tomo, is light silver gray and received numerous first place ribbons during his show career. Silver Select's 2015 cria is a stunning light silver grey boy, sired by Silver Argento. 2016 brought a dark silver grey girl, again sired by Argento. Silver Select delivered a true black girl, sired by Wirrpunda, in 2017. We repeated that breeding for 2018 for a silver grey boy, Silver Kid.
Description
Black Pearl is a true black girl from a true black sire, Wirrrpunda, and a silver grey dam, Silver Select. She has luster, inside and out, and great lock structure.
Silver Select has produced many greys for us, and at over 11 years old she is still in the top 10% EPDs for fibers under 30 microns, and the top 15% for AFD. Wirrpunda, at over 10 years of age, is still in the top 10% EPDs for percent medullated fibers. We think this was a fantastic match.
While we don't typically take alpacas her age to shows, a show needed just one more black girl to meet the requirements for a black color championship. Black Pearl got a 1st place, and some great comments: well grown, good uniformity of micron and good bone structure.
