Congratulations to his new owner, Bari Padgett of Paragon Alpacas! Both his mom and his dad are National Banner Winners - each of them in both Halter and Fleece! How many alpacas can say that? Alpenglow Alpacas and Delphi Alpacas went in search of a silver male - that would complement our herds' fineness, brightness, and uniformity - that would maximize character and fleece weight - that would exhibit the typey style that the judges look for. Our goals were to improve fiber production in every capacity, while at the same time producing top show alpacas. Lofty goals - but we found him in Gray Enough. I had the joy (and challenge) of color checking him for show, when I first met this beautiful boy. GE is pale silver gray - that can best be appreciated against a white background. He has a distinct silver cap and silver legs as well. His first crias include a platinum gray female, just a tad darker than GE himself, from a fawn dam. And now his first crias have arrived at Delphi and we are over the moon with their quality. GE's pedigree cannot be topped. His sire is Annual's Bea-2 Bomber - Bomber is well known as the .38 Special son with his own wall of awards - now sire to an ever growing list of his own Champion crias. Now imagine matching Bomber up with an equally impressive dam! They did. GE's mom is 16 time Champion Orlando's Carly Cloud - full sister to Ringo Cloud. Carly's 16 Championships include: Color Champion AOA Nationals Fleece 2015 Color Champion AOA Nationals Fleece 2014 Color Champion AOBA Nationals Fleece 2012 Color Champion AOBA Nationals Halter 2012 Color Champion MAPACA Halter 2012 Reserve Champion The Futurity 2012 (Halter).

Ruby Rose is the dam of the famous grey herd sire, Mile High Deacon Grey, who was sold for $90,000. The Loners Purchased Ruby as a young girl. They chose well - she blossomed into the GWAS Grey Female Color Champion! Ruby Rose provided them with star cria after star cria. We are honored to have Ruby join our herd here at Delphi - where she will join the select queens in our Royal line up. Her cria include: Ruby Dee - 1-15-05 14X Champion Deacon Grey - 2-4-06 Raquel Jaxon - 7-9-07 Platinum Rose - 6-17-08 3X Champion Dorian Grey - 6-5-09 Maroon Bells - 6-23-10 Aeros - 6-5-13 Argo - 7-5-14 Delphi's Montreux - 6-22-16 Delphi's Rubacuori (heart stealer) - 7-2-17 Delphi's Petal - 4-30-19 Bred to Avatar - in July of 2014 Ruby gave us a gorgeous rose grey boy. Argo showed VERY well - only 1/2 point behind the RC at the huge National Fleece Show. Then bred to Ike - Oh we love Montreux. He'll be going to Europe. Then, Montreux's full brother - gorgeous bay black - Delphi's Rubacuori - (Italian for heart stealer). Ruby's last cria, "Petal" - is a Ruby Mini-Me. We could not be more thrilled. Ruby and Petal are enjoying Ruby's retirement at Delphi - - spoiled like the queen she is. Histogram taken from her 2014 shearing: 5-16-14 = AFD 23.5 / SD 5.2 / CV 22.0 / 9.3% >30
