Sire: Captain Nemo ARI#
849790 Dark Rose Grey We love Nemo. We all love Nemo, from our partners the Sweeney's at Celtic Criations to all who come to our farm. He is proud, he is stately, he is charming and he truly may be one of the smartest alpacas I have ever met. He definitely knows that he is king over his world, he controls his herd, and they all are much better behaved with Nemo around.
Nemo has many wonderful traits that he passes onto his progeny, from incredible conformation, exquisite fineness, lovely crimp, and excellent density. He stamps them - and you can always tell a Nemo cria. Don't get me wrong - they aren't cookie cutters. They are distinct and they have an attitude and a presence that is recognizable to all of us. And he also passes on his great temperment and his intelligence. You know the saying that alpacas don't challenge fences? Well someone forgot to tell Nemo. He challenges them all. We swear he knows how to pick locks. He knows how to escape from any fence, gate, paddock, or arena around. I have seen him shimmy under a fence - like a marine crawling under fencing in boot camp. And he has taught his sons. And this is because - he has a one track mind - girls.
One late night Nemo decided it was time for a panty raid. And at 1am in the morning, he pried open a gate, he broke out of "camp"; and led 12 very very happy males over to the girls barn. The girls were thrilled, the boys were thrilled, perhaps I wasn't as thrilled......I had to get them all back. I know he was the instigator because i saw him do it. But to his credit, he also helped me corral one of the most indignant boys and get him haltered and led back down to the boys barn. Nemo pranced back to the boys barn, as proud as could be.
Ever since that night Nemo has been my buddy.
Nemo has many fine attributes other than being a girl loving escape artist. Nemo is as rare as they come... Full Peruvian, solid dark rose grey!!! This male has it all...color, fineness, crimp, charisma, presence, and attitude!! His fle
Dam: Shaquille's Attache ARI#
30625877 Medium Silver Grey Shaquille's Attache has the distinction of being the daughter of the famous herdsire Shaquille. Shaquille has set high standards for outstanding gray fleece with crimp and density characteristics usually found in only light fleeces. Shaquille's Hall of Fame show career has been nothing short of phenomenal! But Shaquille has also proven that his offspring can follow in his footsteps with many taking multiple championships. Attache has inherited many of the fine fiber characteristics of her sire. A lovely blue/grey color, lovely shine and tight crimp.
Attache's dam Audrey Hepburn is a unique dark rose grey girl who also has splashes of colors from black, white and tan. Everyone who comes on the farm remarks about how handsome she is. Audrey comes from a nice lineage--Silver Del Sol Codi is her sire (from Silversmith) and on her dam's side is Peruvian Celebre and Silvercloud.
Together Audrey Hepburn and Shaquille have created a lovely silver grey girl with good conformation and excellent fleece.
