Corky is only one of two true black females ever produced from 6 Peruvian The Last Don!
Corky is a full Peruvian, half Accoyo true black with impressive genetics. She was sired by the one and only 6Peruvian Accoyo The Last Don and her dam was 5Peruvian Indigo Ink. These two alpacas were Peruvian imports and quickly made their mark in the industry. Corky is exceptional for a true black just like her mom. She is well-proportioned, true to type with a proper head and broad muzzle. Corky... |

Bred and born at Rare Gem Alpacas. LOVE this girl! Gorgeous fleece. Nicely conformed. Sweet, quirky personality! Cutest teddy-bear head. Fleece show banner winner at 1 year old! Then two more banners, 3 firsts and a second at the Txolan Sweetheart Spectacular @ 20 months. She has it all.
Grace O'Malley comes from a crazy productive line. Grace's granddam, 5Peruvian Indigo Ink, was on the last import from Peru and before she passed at age 16, produced 14 registered cria in the United States!! Corky, Grace's mum, has produced 6 cria so far... all females. Grace is following in her dam and gdam's hoof-prints. At just age six, she has produced 4 wonderful offspring and is pregnant with her fifth! She is an easy breeder and wonderful mother. She has always gotten pregnant with just one breeding and holds her pregnancies and maintains a solid weight even while nursing her cria. She was even pregnant when she was winning banners at Txolan in 2019. Nothing much bothers Grace.
Grace's sire is champion pinto out of TB, Black Mesquite. Although solid in color, Grace carries a pinto pattern allele from her pinto sire. Grace has thrown two pintos, one solid and a harlequin appaloosa so far. The second pinto was truly unique-- his blanket was black at birth... yes, a black pinto! He was stunning. And then for his next act, he roaned out and turned a lovely silver grey. Something I have not seen before.
Grace is also the maternal sibling to the deceased Lady London. Another truly unique alpaca. Lady London was the result of pairing Grace's True Black dam with a harlequin appaloosa. Lady London, was a blue grey modern. She had no white fibers and extremities leaned towards black. The coat color was so striking that we attempted to replicate it through ET... unfortunately, unsuccessfully. A picture of Lady London has been included in Grace's profile pictures.
For Grace's 2021 breeding, she was paired with harlequin appaloosa herdsire, Hercules of IPH. Hercules' dam is a harlequin and his sire a spotted pinto. He has expressed harlequin like his dam and his first offspring is a spotted pinto, mini me of his sire, MFI Tachometer. This is very exciting as we now know Hercules will be abundant with colorFULL, spotted surprises! Paired with Grace and her proven ability to throw pinto, this pairing possibilities are harlequin, spotted pinto or even the very rare... pintaloosa!
UPDATE: On 12/1/22, Grace gave birth to a handsome harlequin male, Rare Gem Mr. Bigglesworth. He is currently a fawn-taupe with black spots. But, as you probably know, he will most likely darken over time. In addition to the coloration that we hope for, Mr. Bigglesworth is sporting a very curly, bundled fleece and lovely phenotype with nice bone and straight legs from the get-go.
And, the BIG announcement-- Grace, bred to a handsome leopard appaloosa, and with her harlequin cria at side are being consigned to the 2023 Parade of Champions in New York! 3-in-1
