31570862 True Black Hmmmm, so why did a huacaya breeder buy a Suri herdsire?? Look for yourself--he's an outstanding example of black Suri genetics!! I figured our Western State Suri breeders could use a magnificent male like this to bring color, conformation and LUSTER into their herds.
Dale Davis of Derwydd Alpacas agreed--and ended up with a half interest in this boy. We have owned, used, and appreciated him in our herds for 7 years, but now we agree it's time for Marauder to improve other herds!
When Kathy Stumpf of Prairie Lakes Alpacas purchased Maruader from Ameripaca she said, "When we saw this male, we knew we had to have him! We purchased him just before he entered the show ring at Mapaca. Solid, true blue-black with locking to rival any white, Marauder impressed the judges as well! Champion at 2010 Mapaca, the judges comments included that he was the 'most unique black male they had ever seen in any country!' They liked him so much that they kept him in the ring after naming the Judges Choice winner to specifically call out his attributes to the audience and stated later that they would have named him judges choice, but, due to the fact that he had been belly shorn, they had to give it to the other male as they could not adequately compare density..."
And check out his histogram---An AFD of 20.8 at 22 months of age in a BLACK SURI?!! WHOOOO-EEEE!!
Marauder's first crias were born on the East Coast--lustrous offspring with strong conformations, and BLACK! In 2012,Marauder's full sister, Ameripaca's Mona Lisa, took a blue ribbon in halter competition at the Nationals!
All in all, Marauder has 19 registered offspring. Between those 19 offspring I count 14 blue ribbons and 3 Reserve Championships (3 separate alpacas). Marauder produces spectacular offspring! Add to this the fact that he is a sweetheart--so easy to handle and a pleasure to have on the farm. He is equally well-behaved with weanlings and with herdsires.
Marauder is co-owned with Dale Davis of Derwydd Alpacas, and for the time being he is at Derwydd.

She took a 2nd Place at California Classic 2012!! and a FIRST PLACE at GWAS 2012!! She carries a fleece worthy of her sire. Lustrous dripping black fleece! Square frame, stylish head and correct conformation! A lovely maiden.
Secret Rendevous's sire Belefonte - wow what a stunning male. Belefonte proudly displays tight pencil locks of lustrous black, dense, silky fleece. Belefonte's show record has filled his ribbon wall with blue, and purple banners, leading to have high expectations for this male and he has exceeded them in spades.
Secret Rendevous's dam, WOW AGAIN! really NICE FLEECE - LOOK at her fiber numbers.. 8 years old and still and AFD of 26 and a SD of 4.6 - how often do you see older suris HOLDING their SD under 5!!! AND that can produce BLACK.. WOW. AND ACCOYO genetics to boot! (Accoyo Maurizio) Victoria's Secret has been bred to Black twice and produced DF and DB.. so Rendevous carries deep color on both sides of the pedigree.
