Description

This little girl has done her champion parents proud, and we are over the moon! In her first show at 8.7 months of age, Morning SKY's Spectacular by Design was awarded a blue ribbon and then the Color Champion banner at the 2017 Buckeye Alpaca Show. A month later at the 2017 MAPACA Jubilee, she placed first and garnered the Reserve Champion banner. Now she has received the Reserve Champion award at the 2017 AOA National Fleece Show!

Her sire, Morning SKY's Design was a Color Champion himself with fine histograms that show little upward movement over time, and that fineness has been passed on to his daughter.

Her dam, Morning SKY's Paulina received her first Color Champion banner at her first show at 7 months of age, followed by six more over two show years, as well as a Judges' Choice fleece award at MAPACA for Best Hand. She was also the first grey ever (and still one of only two) to win a Judges' Choice banner in halter! We hope that Spec will continue to follow in Paulina's footsteps.

Judge Helen Testa called her stunning and described her fleece as exquisite with tremendous fineness, and commented on her conformation as being square and pleasing to the eye. We hope that Spectacular continues to have a show record as remarkable as that of her dam, and a production career that will make a notable mark in our industry!

Spectacular's sire's HISTOGRAMS BARELY CHANGED OVER TIME!

Although she's dearly missed, Spectacular has moved on to her new home with Chris and Lori Works where we know that she will be well cared for and be an asset as a foundation female in their breeding program. We congratulate them on their insightful decision to add this "Spectacular" female to their herd!

UPDATE: With her new owners, Spectacular has been awarded:
2nd & Reserve Champion at the 2017 AOA Fleece Show and numerous additional champion banners. Go Spec; you have done us proud!
