Description from her previous owner:

A LUSTER BEYOND IMAGINABLE, DENSITY WITH EXTREME FINENESS, DURANGO DAUGHTER

Kaliska epitomizes what every suri breeder dreams of producing. She is, without fear of exaggerating, simply amazing. We rank her at the top of all the suris we have produced, including every multiple champion. Her show career was cut short due to catching a cold at her last show. Rather than run the risk of losing her, we kept her home to ensure her recovery. This is the very first time we have ever offered her for sale...we wanted to add her cria to our herd. But because of current family circumstances, we have not been able to breed her.

Kaliska has the most extreme luster I have ever seen, a true indication of her superior uniformity (the more uniform the fleece, the better a reflective surface it is). She is crazy dense and well locked as well. These traits are all directly linked to her ancestors. As a testament to her luster, check out her main photo here, which was taken during the muddy season and right as she was brought in from the pasture...no cleaning. She glistens! And don't just take it from us. At all of her shows, judges first commented on how incredible her luster was, a result of her high degree of uniformity and fineness. In fact, the Senior Alpaca Judges at both the Futurity and MAPACA noted that she had the some of the best luster they had seen all weekend.

She is one of the last daughters born in the US from sire, 7 x champion, Durango. He was sold to an Australian breeder and is now unavailable in the US. His stud services were in high demand and his cria were highly sought after. As a testament to Durango's quality, he was leased by none other than Pucara International, home to the acclaimed suri herd of judge Jude Anderson.

Adding to Kaliska's powerful color genetics are those coming from her dam, NWA ltd, Kiva, a gorgeous rare solid rose grey Accoyo Bruxo daughter. Accoyo Bruxo is world renowned for his champion quality cria. Bruxo, rare among Accoyo males, had the ability to throw dark colored cria, but those that sported the fineness, luster and locking of the best whites. His cria were famed for their greasy, dense fleeces, lovely heads with bearded chins and signature top knots. Additionally, Kaliska's maternal grand dam was a solid black girl with a solid black sire and dark brown dam.

Kaliska is a new breeder’s dream, as she is what most breeders achieve after years building their programs. She is poised to produce simply amazing cria.

Kaliska has produced a phenomenal fawn female by spirit dancer. Main show prospect! Not included in price, but Kaliska will be bred back to spirit.
