I don't quite understand what you are saying
about breeding to a white to produce another
Gray.

I have found that it is not good to breed gray
to white. I got two boys with blue streaks in
the eyes breeding a gray to two whites.
And this gray was a son of The Silversmith who
threw 130 good crias.

Of course blue streaks in the eyes are o.k.,but
some people shy away from them.

We are in Jasper, GA. not that far from you.
I had to go all the way to upper OH to find a
breeding gray that I could afford.
I got him for a season by swapping a TB boy for
breeding, and now that he has five crias in the
oven for me, I bought a half interest in him.
He is FRA Platinum Prince. Son of Legacy De
Bolivia who threw 200 crias in two years. Prince
is a perfect LSG boy with 22 micron. LSG with
not a dark spot on him and pure Bolivian. His
dam and sire are imports, LSG and TB.

I am always looking for new TB, White and Gray
bloodlines.
I made the mistake of using my Silversmith line
boy for five years and I now have a whole bunch
of girls that I have had to go out and buy
herdsires for.
I don't buy breedings any more. There are so
many good herdsires out there for sale that I
think it does not pay to buy breedings.
I did pay for one breeding to El Patron, and the
results were very good. I got a beautiful white
girl, but it took her four years to mature, and
she is due 14 days ago.

I have a boy, grand son of the silversmith and
of PPPruvian PLuro who is the best fiber boy
that I have ever seen. He will be available in
one year.

I have two sons of Peruvian Pizzaro who are at
stud now, but only the one gray, and no whites
yet,
Keep in touch.

Elwin,
My herdsires name is "Splendid "Spats"
Spatterdash". He is my only alpaca at this time
so he is boarded at a local farm for now. I
don't have a farm website yet but if you'd like
to see Spats or the new cria please feel free to
email me directly and I can send you pics. The
dam and cria belong to the boarding farm. The
dam was a solid white. Looking forward to
breeding with another white to see if it'll
produce another gray. This is where a year seems
like two. :) By the way, where in the SE are you
located?
have a great day!

hi guys!
just had to share with someone that my
herdsire became a daddy for the first time
this
week!! It's a beautiful 17+ pound silver gray
boy!! He has a white face and chest( I think
they call it the tuxcedo style) and white
leggings. the rest is a darker silver gray,
with
a small patch of auburn on his rump (his
daddy's
color). The dam's owner sold her before the
birth, and the new owner has named him
sterling.
I'm sooo proud of my boy. it looks like
sterling
will carry on his daddy's great thick crimp
too.
just had to brag a little. Though it's very
hard
when the new one doesn't belong to you. thanks
for the support guys. it was harder then I
thought not to have control over this cria.
have a great day!
