Description

Klondike Gold was sired by the outstanding Lazy G's Accoyo Goldstar son named HPR Alaskan Gold. Alaskan Gold won 11 blue ribbons, 5 championships, and was twice a Judge's Choice including one at The Futurity. He has an extremely dense, lustrous fleece. That fleece has a beautiful and consistent lock structure across the blanket and up the neck. His sire Goldstar has 20 Get Of Sire wins including 3 at National, 3 at The Futurity, and 1 at the Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show. Alaskan Gold's dam is a well bred female named BBFAI Whirlwynd. Her pedigree includes the great herdsires Uribe, MacGyver, Sirius Black, Wirrpunda, and Eminance Grise. Alaskan Gold's breeding career is young at this time and his offspring are just ready to start hitting the show ring. All indications so far are that he is siring excellent offspring of all colors from white to black that have excellent luster like Klondike, a wonderful lock structure like Klondike, and a beautiful Suri phenotype stamped on all of them.

Klondike's dam, Black Beau's Ariana, also brings superb luster, a great phenotype, and outstanding fleece characteristics to the pairing with Alaskan Gold. Ariana has great EPDs from top to bottom, but especially for fineness and uniformity. She has a Top 1% EPD ranking for AFD, SF and MSL for her 2019 EPDs. In addition to those, she is top 15% in for %M, top 10% for FW and top 5% for both SDAFD and %>30. In fact, she's close to top 1% for the last one, %>30. Ariana comes by that fineness through her dam Lianka as she is from a fine micron lineage of alpacas that start with the herdsires Sedoso and Huacho. Lianka herself has Top 2% EPD rankings for AFD, SF, and %>30. From her full name one can tell that Ariana is sired by Black Beau of PVA who is from the Mahogany Prince to Kobe to Diamonte lineage. Black Beau is also known for producing fineness and that is understandable considering Ariana's rankings are better than her dam. Overall, this means that Klondike inherited great fleece characteristics from both the top and the bottom of his pedigree.

All of the items stated above means that ANDACAL's Klondike Gold is one extremely well bred Suri male. His fleece has luster, fineness, a well defined lock style across his body, and good density. His biopsy shows his fleece is dense, fine, and uniform at 69.2 follicles/mm2, with a ratio of 10.2 secondaries to each primary fiber, and a micron spread of just 4.2 microns between his primaries (23.4 micron, 3.2 SD) and secondaries (19.2 micron, 3.0 SD). He stands like a champion and has great conformation. The fleece coverage in his phenotype is exceptional. That includes his head's fleece coverage. His wedge shaped head exhibits an exemplary Suri head style. Klondike's the whole package and that includes a good disposition. Klondike's first crias are on the ground and they are beautiful!
