Co-owned with Eldorado and Derwydd Alpacas
Suri breeders have us "backed into a corner with Kahuna genetics". They should pay attention! We have added to our suri herdsire stable two prepotent elite white herdsires, both who happen to be Accoyo, not that we care all that much. We do care however that they can produce.
And how things evolve! We first discovered Chachapoya back in 2006 at the Iinternational Alpaca Odyssey, in Laughlin, Nevada. Jill Bergman who breeds some of the best suris in the country won the white female championship with this gorgeous female that was the daughter of Chachapoya. We hunted him down and visited him in Ohio. He took our breath away. We also thought he looked the spitting image of the famous Peruvian Inca of Latah Creek fame.
No chance of a purchase as Mike Barnhart had stitched that up. But now Chachapoya is resident at Pucara International and at Eldorado and Derwydd Alpacas in California. We were licking our chops thinking what he could do with the Kahuna daughters. We gave him some of our best females and the results have been superb. ask Linda Kondris of the Pines Edge Suri fame who just purchased Valetta, a Chachapoya daughter. She has phenomenal regrowth and luster and her cria at side that we retained a half share in is outstanding.
At his age he displays amazing luster, cover and handle, good bone, a stunning head, and perfectly correct confirmation....oh, and a willingness to work like a true macho...he has what we call constitutional vigor!
When we first acquired him he had 27 cria...10 Whites, 4 LF, 3 True Black,1 from a LB 1 from A WHITE!!! one from a MF, ...5 Beige, 3 from whites....one LRG from a LF!!!...2 LF's, 2 MF's..., 2 LB's.
There you have it...a full Accoyo boy producing heaps of color often darkening the cria from the dam's color.
