We are thrilled beyond belief to welcome into our midst NGG Accoyo Apache II! Apache is virtually a legend in the suri world. Some would say he is "the Best" suri herdsire in the country. Certainly he has a sterling reputation. For parents he boasts 2 of the finest suris that were ever imported into the US, both owned by Nola Graham of NGG Alpacas: Pperuvian Uribe--the first colored full Accoyo suri in the US-- and Ppperuvian Dulcinea--a dam so fine that Nola paid a premium for her. Later, Greg Mecklam of Pacific Crest bought Apache, and has taken him to his current status of fame.
Even at age 11, Apache is big-boned and imposing in the pasture. He knows his job, and the other guys all give him his place. His fleece is still magnificent, even after so many shearings. His density and luster are immediately evident. His prepotence as a herdsire is obvious in his crias. Even prior to owning him, we can truly say that some of our best suris have been Apache offspring. His show record speaks volumes:
• 1999 PNAA Alpacafest - Supreme Suri Champion
• 1999 AAA Futurity - Fawn Color Reserve Champion Suri Male
• 2005 AAA Futurity Reserve Suri Herdsire of the Year
• 2006 International Alpaca Odyssey - 2nd Place Suri Get of Sire
• 2006 MAPACA Jubilee - 2nd Place Suri Get of Sire
• 2006 AOBA National - 2nd Place Suri Get of Sire
• 2008 International Alpaca Odyssey - 1st Place Suri Get of Sire
• 2008 Alpaca Western Extravaganza - 1st Place Suri Get of Sire
• 2008 AOBA National - 3rd Place Suri Get of Sire
Apache's breedings are now open. He puts a strong frame and big bone on his crias, as well as fabulous coverage, high luster, and that wonderful Accoyo lock structure. I haven't seen a cria of his yet that I wouldn't be proud to own, and I will bet that several of his offspring from this season will end up with purple to their names.
Take this opportunity to have this macho's bloodline in your herd. You won't be sorry!
