PV Nikos
Nikos is an exceptional, half-accoyo, showy son of the renowned half-accoyo silver grey herdsire Aussie Rockford, owned by Peaceful Valley Alpacas in Oregon. Nikos is also out of one of the top quality grey females in the nation, Peaceful Valley Priya, bred and owned by Peaceful Valley Alpacas. Both of these alpacas are highly regarded winners of numerous blue ribbons. Nikos has outstanding conformation, a well-shaped beautiful head, extreme coverage and a dense topknot. His fleece is very, very fine and bright, with good architecture and a gorgeous dark silver grey color. He has well-defined narrow crimp throughout his fiber - all the way up his neck and into his topknot. Nikos is one of the most eye-catching and stylish grey males we have ever seen, with fantastic conformation, coverage, presence, movement and superb fiber. His genetics are now only available to customers, or through his offspring.

Awards: Nikos was only shown twice as a yearling, at Level 3 and Level 5 shows, where he won a Championship and two blue ribbons. Jane Tellier awarded him the blue ribbon in a class of 10 yearling silver grey males at the 2005 Virginia Classic Show, plus the Grand Championship out of all 33 grey males in the show! Julio Sumar awarded Nikos the blue ribbon in a competitive full fleece halter class of dark silver grey yearling males at MaPaca 2005, the largest alpaca show in the country, which attracts top breeders from as far away as Oregon and Washington. His yearling fiber won a blue ribbon in the 2005 Blue Ridge Classic Handcrafters' SpinOff, with a score of 90.5 / 100 and another blue ribbon in the 2005 Mid-America Alpaca Show Handcrafters' SpinOff. At the 2005 OABA fleece show, Nikos placed first out of 9 Handcrafters' SpinOff entries in the yearling grey class, and won the purple ribbon for Highest Score of all the grey/multi entries in the show, with 93.5/100 points.

How many Champion-producing full Peruvian white males can also produce solid BLACK offspring?! Tundra is an excellent white male with wonderful conformation, coverage and presence. To complete the package, he has beautiful fiber, with extreme character, luster and bundling, plus outstanding density. Produced from the ideal match, breeding Marcela, the dam of "Show Me The Money" and "Silver Dollar", to Presidio, an outstanding Caligula son, Tundra is now proven to produce solid black, and his dam and sire have already produced some of the best colored alpacas in the nation. His sire, Presidio has multiple "Get of Sire" wins to his credit - his crias had won over 50 color championships and 80 blue ribbons at Level 3+ shows by the time Presidio was only 7 years old, firmly establishing him among the elite ranks of prepotent sires. Tundra's maternal half-brothers, "Mo" and the grey "Silver Dollar", are both exceptional colored herdsires, renowned for throwing top-of-the-line greys. In his first three shows, Tundra demonstrated that he too is destined for greatness, placing second in three very large, white, full-fleece halter classes, the most competitive classes of the alpaca world!

Awards: 2nd Place in a class of 12 White Yearling Males, and part of Presidio's 6th blue ribbon-winning "Get of Sire" class, 2004 MOPACA show. 2nd Place in a class of 12 White Yearling Males, 2004 Ft. Worth. 2nd Place in a class of 13 White Juvenile Males, 2003 Great Western Alpaca Show, Denver CO. Tundra's fiber was awarded a blue ribbon in the white class of the 2005 Virginia Classic Handcrafter's SpinOff competition, a red ribbon at National level in the 2005 AOBA Handcrafters' SpinOff competition, and a first place at the VAOBA Alpaca Expo SpinOff competition. In 2007 his fourth shearing won another blue ribbon out of four entries in his age group at the Virginia Classic SpinOff.

MacDhui is descended from a long and impressive line of greys and blacks. His sire, Request the Best, is one of the most spectacular grey herdsires in the country, a multiple blue ribbon winner who placed first at the AOBA Nationals for three successive years. From his black dam, MacDhui has inherited perfect conformation and a grey and black pedigree going back four generations, including SA Silverado and The Silversmith. MacDhui’s most recent fiber analysis is AFD 22.3; SD 5.2; CV 23.3; % > 30 microns = 8.6%. He is an extremely calm and good-natured herdsire, who rules the pasture with his presence, not untoward aggression. MacDhui has incredibly dense, medium silver grey fiber and AOBA winning genetics to go with his gentle disposition and his first offspring hit the ground in 2003.

Awards: MacDhui has won numerous ribbons, including a first at the 2001 MaPaca Jubilee in full fleece yearling halter, judged by Julio Sumar and Susan Tellez (over 900 alpacas), a second at the 2001 Triple Crown in Dayton Ohio, (over 250 alpacas), and a third at the 2000 Keystone Klassic in the Juvenile Grey class. In 2002 he came home with four ribbons from two shows. Anthony Stachowski awarded him Reserve Champion and a blue ribbon at the Virginia Classic. MacDhui went on to win a second place in adult male halter at the 2002 MaPaca Jubilee, judged by Mike Safley (over 1100 entries), and Nard Mullen awarded his fleece a second place ribbon at the same show. This boy is definitely improving with age! His first son, the light rose grey Kinross, won a blue ribbon at his first show in September 2004, and to date, Dhui has produced exclusively grey and black offspring out of beige, maroon and dark brown dams.

 Thistledown Meriadoc Tundra
Meriadoc, arrived on November 5, 2008 - nicknamed Butterfinger at birth, as he has the colors of a caramel and chocolate bar mixed throughout his blanket! Meri is the full Peruvian son of Blush, a blue ribbon-winning true maroon dam and Tundra, a multiple award-winning white son of Peruvian Presidio. His sire, Tundra, covers black, and Meri has dark grey gums and a maroon dam, so has strong potential to produce colored offspring. Meri's fiber is just awesome - extremely dense, uniform, soft-handled, long-stapled and crimpy. He has the fiber character and quality of a white, and won a blue ribbon and Reserve Championship in full fleece halter at his first show, the 2009 Level IV VAOBA Expo, when he was only 11 months old. He  has been shown in performance and costume classes by a 7 year old child, and is remarkably good-natured and easy to handle. If you are looking for a wonderful Champion male with the potential to upgrade the fiber of your colored dams, then this is your boy. He has some of the best fiber we have produced in our 9 years of breeding alpacas!

Awards: In his showring debut at only 11 months of age, Meri was awarded a blue ribbon and Reserve Champion of all the mixed males at VAOBA 2009, a Level IV Show.  At the 2010 Virginia Classic he placed first in his class, and second of all the bred and owned males in show, beaten only by the white Champion (who went on to win Judges Choice at MAPACA 2010)! The judge raved about Meri's density, uniformity, staple, hand and conformation. Meri went on to win a second place in the 2010 MAPACA fleece show, a second place fleece at PAOBA 2010 and first in a large mixed composite class at the 2010 Blue Ridge Classic.

 Magnus Trujillo
Magnus is the last of his full Accoyo sire's line, and has fineness, crimp and luster in abundance. He is particularly exciting for us, as the grey markings around his face, and his dark toenails, combined with the color in his heritage, suggest the potential to produce elite-fibered colored alpacas. His dam, Goldie is a full Peruvian light fawn female, with crimp, fineness, good density and handle, and beautiful consistency to her fleece, which earned her the second place ribbon in a very competitive 2003 AOBA Nationals fleece show. A great mother and milker, Goldie has a perfect bite, solid conformation and a gorgeous head and top knot, and is proven to produce colored offspring. Magnus was sired by the full Accoyo Trujillo Alto Peru (deceased), an impressive son of Ppperuvian Mr President and a medium fawn dam, 4Peruvian Eurynome. Trujillo had incredible coverage and density, accompanied by a consistent, tight crimp, and at 5 years of age, his fiber was still exquisite - 18.6 AFD with an SD of 3.9 and 0.7 % of fibers over 30 micron. Available for sale with retained breedings.

Awards: When Magnus was only 6 months old, Tim Lavan awarded him a 5th in a class of 13 juvenile fawn males at PAOBA in 2007, commenting on his brightness and hand. His juvenile fiber won a second place in the 2007 VAOBA SpinOff, a third place out of 13 entries in the huge OABA 2007 Spinoff and a first out of 6 in the 2007 LA Deep South Show Spinoff competition. In 2008, his juvenile fiber won first out of 12 entries in the prestigious National Fiber to Fashion Spinoff, second in the Spinoff at MAPACA 2008, the largest alpaca show in the US, first at the PAOBA Breeders Showcase and second out of 9 entries in the AOBA National SpinOff competition. His yearling fiber won first out of 13 entries at the 2008 VAOBA Expo, earning a score of 93, the second highest in the entire SpinOff competition, first place in the 2008 OABA SpinOff and another first place in the 2009 Virginia Classic SpinOff!
