True black out of two blacks, Luna harbors silver grey genetics from both her sire and her dam.

Luna's grandsire, 5Peruvian Silverado, was hand selected out of the Sollocota Region in Peru by veterinarian and alpaca importer, Anthony Stachowski, DVM, who chose Silverado for his own herd. Silverado is best known for producing award-winning, crimpy-fleeced offspring with outstanding density and a soft handle with little or no guard hair.

Luna is also a descendent of The Silversmith, who arrived from northern Chile in the second largest importation of alpacas from South America in l988, and was owned by Eric Hoffman for many years. The Silversmith was an impressive looking animal - structurally flawless, with had above-average density. Medium silver grey, his color was consistent throughout his coat.

Luna has solid conformation, and dense, soft, luxurious fiber. Her fiber is a beautiful non-fading true black.

We are looking forward to the incredible crias Luna will produce. She has been bred to our herdsire Peruvian Pizzaz; pregnancy has been confirmed via ultrasound. She is due mid-June 2010.
