Suri, Male, Proven | Medium Silver Grey

Full Peruvian

Platinum Marquis has just been nominated as the ARF 2013 Super Stud!

Noteably one of the most recognized silver studs in the United States and with good reasons, besides his own stately beauty, Marquis has produced champion after champion quality silver cria and now he resides at Sierra Nevada Ranch in Northern California. He will be open to outside breedings for a limited time at this price, then it will increase to reflect the true quality of this outstanding herdsire.

Platinum Marquis has proven himself nationally in the show ring. Shown, as a juvenile, at the three largest North American alpaca shows (AOBA,AAA Futurity and MAPACA) in 2004, Platinum Marquis won Champion and Reserve Grey Color Champion in these three shows.His luster and his lock are so remarkable that many breeders ask if he is an accoyo. He is a full Peruvian with accoyo blood from his dam's (Silverbelle) side (Bruxo, Uribe and Helios). Silverbelle was the Reserve Grey Color Champion at both AOBA and AAA Futurity in 2002 as well as the highest selling suri alpaca at the 2002 AOBA National Auction. Platinum Marquis' sire, Silver Marquis,is a deep gunmetal silver grey, a product of two silver grey parents, Silver King and Silver Gem. Platinum Marquis, a third generation silver grey suri,sired his first crop of crias born in 2006.All of them were colored suris with excellent lock and luster and out of 14 born, 10 were grey!. Since then, Platinum Marquis has produced many more champion winning cria.

As of July 2012 Marquis at 59 registered offspring!

28 of them are shades of grey
12 are black
11 are browns
2 Fawns and 1 Beige!
No whites, all 100% purely suri

Some of his well known champion cria are, GLR Marakesh , GLR Orion, GLR Kiva , GLR Picassa , GLR Chasca, GLR Silvario and Silvano of PVA.

His cria are taking the showring by storm! Although we beleive that the quality of the male is important, we feel that the progeny of the particular male is more important, Marquis has proven himself over and over!
