Sire: Gray Alpaca Co's Gray Enough (G.E.) ARI#
32400175 Light Silver Grey 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).

Dam: Alpenglow's Calligraphy ARI#
350808331 Medium Rose Grey Alpenglow’s Calligraphy is a Medium Rose Grey Beauty
She is an Avatar and KVR’s Peruvian True Eye Candy cross, they are the top of the Greys and she is no exception! Calligraphy’s fleece has a lustrous shine, crimpy from head to toes, and dense. She has a great conformation, a long-staple, and perfect bite.
Her first cria was a truly amazing medium rose grey male named Grey Enough’s Xavier (ARI # 35080817) from Grey’s Enough. This cria is truly amazing and has similar qualities to both dam and sire.
Calligraphy was bred back to Grey’s Enough and had a gorgeous medium fawn female! This cria was born on August 31st, 2020 and her crimp is fantastic! We named her Eloquence and we cannot wait to see her dominate in the show ring for her new owners!
Calligraphy produced a beautiful MRG female Calypso, in 2022. She has a gorgeous pattern.
Description
Elite Grey Genetics | Fine, Dense Fleece | Emerging Herdsire
We absolutely love Mr. X! Grey Enough’s Xavier is a striking male backed by a strong lineage of grey genetics. He is sired by Gray Alpaca Co’s Gray Enough and out of Alpenglow’s Calligraphy, an Avatar x KVR’s Peruvian True Eye Candy cross—bringing together some very respected bloodlines.
While Xavier may not have shown as a traditional grey, his genetic potential is undeniable. He carries the kind of background that can produce outstanding grey and dark-colored offspring when paired correctly.
Xavier stands out for his fleece, featuring high-amplitude crimp from head to toe, along with exceptional fineness and density. He also offers a strong, correct frame, great bite, and overall solid conformation—making him a well-rounded herdsire prospect.
He has already begun proving himself in production. His first cria, born in summer 2022, is a handsome male named Buzz Lightyear—his “mini-me”—showing strong resemblance and quality.
Xavier is a young male with his entire breeding career ahead of him. With his genetics, fleece quality, and early production success, he represents a great opportunity to add value and versatility to a breeding program.
