Description
Looking to diversify your appaloosa lines? This boy's genetics are the way to do it.
Also... funny little point here... no one bred a Suri to a Huacaya to get Grayson... his dam was a Huacaya out of two Suris. This happens, and it happens more often than people admit. In the US, there is no way to know if a Suri is pure Suri or has huacaya genetics. Suris can carry both H and S genetics, Huacaya can only carry Huacaya... meaning Grayson has 0% chance of throwing Suri, he is 100% Huacaya. Science.
From his previous human mom, Kitt Hollister:
"We all know and love the "big names" in Harlequin Appaloosa alpacas: Hannahruh, Peruvian Platinum, Black Epic, NGG Lional; Magnifico and the Amy Carter line are some pretty heavy hitters as well.
... But then, there are some weird ones. Sonny -- Typhoon's Grayson -- is one of those weird ones.
Sonny's dam, Calico Princess, is a Huacaya out of two Suris. This isn't a bad thing, in my opinion. It not only offers a very unique, outcrossed bloodline, but I have noted some very pleasing fleece traits coming from Huacayas with Suri in their background. Calico Princess is the dam of no less than nine registered offspring, one of them another ultra-unique, wild Appaloosa: Hawks Willows Jacy, who is also the dam of a classic Harlequin, Kismit, who now resides on our farm.
His sire, Pacifica's D'Peruvian Typhoon, was a very well-regarded beige herdsire out of the Pacific northwest. A grandson of Augusto and Victor, Typhoon managed to snag a Get of Sire win with less than 50 registered offspring.
So, Sonny's is a pretty outcrossed pedigree, both in terms of his Harlequin lineage (rare) and some less-common elite lights on his topline. There is also, of course, his patterning ... This guy is WILD. He boasts the classic Harlequin Appaloosa spots on his face, with mottling -- browns, fawns, and greys -- all throughout his blanket."
