Duke of Earl is a well-built herdsire out of AOV Accoyo Eros. He only went to 2 shows in his career (2021 & 2022 Futurity) and took home a Blue Ribbon from both! His sire, AOV Accoyo Eros, is a Full Accoyo Judge’s Choice and 5x Champion who has produced beautifully bright and uniform fleeced crias in an array of colors, and his paternal grandsire is Full Accoyo multi-champion, Accoyo America Enterprise!
Duke of Earl’s dam, Amber Autumns Tehya, is a true powerhouse herself. Tehya has produced top-notch herdsires such as: Troy (Sizlin Rose,) Terrill (El Principio,) Taylor Made (Eclipse,) Turbo Tribute (Silver Signature,) Duke of Earl (Eros,) and Thunderstruck (Ameretto.) Showing the magnitude of the prepotency from his sire & dam’s genetics. Duke's maternal grandsire, 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, is a 10x Color Champion including 2005 Futurity Reserve Herdsire of the Year!
His first crias hit the ground in 2023, and they are wonderful.
Watch for his daughter, Estates Duchess Kendra on our 2024 show string!

Eros... the Greek god of erotic love. It wasn't by accident that he was named Eros. We believe that he has a bright future ahead of him as a topnotch herdsire. Yes, I know it's early, but all indications are that he is clearly headed in the right direction, both conformationally and fiber-wise, and most certainly with attitude!
At the end of the spring show season and at the tender age of 12.3 months, Eros has earned eight blue ribbons and five championships. I'd say that's a respectable start! And the best thing is that he has this coming fall and spring to add to his collection of blues and banners before he even turns two and begins to think about breeding.
At his first show, the New Jersey Alpaca Classic, he was awarded his first blue ribbon AND the light reserve champion ribbon. Even more appreciated were the words of praise that the judge lavished on him. To paraphrase senior judge Jude Anderson, “When Jude Anderson (her words) awards a championship to an alpaca that has just been weaned (referring to the fact that he was the youngest in his color group) it must be a very special alpaca, and this is a very special alpaca.”
At his second show where, where once again he was the youngest in the class, he was honored with first place AND fawn reserve color champion. Judge Helen Humphries acknowledged that he was the most complete package in the class, along with being the finest in his class. She mentioned his excellent fleece structure and said that he was well grown for his age.
At the CABO show in February, he again was awarded the blue where he competed against some of the most highly recognized farms in the country in a large class of 12. Senior judge Amanda VandenBosch was highly complementary of him.
