Peruvian - Cantano was nothing short of spectacular! Dripping with luster from bonnet to blanket, from his tail to his toes! Coupled with flawless conformation, this stud was truly one of a kind with his incredible presence and impressive maroon color. His sire, Meteor, produced crias in nearly every color on the chart, including gray and black! Cantano’s dam, Peruvian Phlox, produced colored offspring every time she was bred to a colored male.
Cantano of Peru, a phenomenal Suri herdsire, was purchased by Alpaca Ventures LLC for the 2002/2003 World Record Selling Price of $265,000. Incredible density and luster with flawless conformation and unparalleled fiber quality, Cantano was the cornerstone of their Suri breeding program. He produced 100% Suri offspring with 95% color, great heads and tight, lustrous penciled locks, a great track record! Cantano of Peru is no longer living due to a tragic farm accident, making his genetics even more rare.
