CONGRATULATIONS to Roy Davis of R & K's Alpaca farm on the purchase of Apache Gentleman. Apache will be moving to their farm in Iowa in June 2022. Apache will be greatly missed at Rare Gem Alpacas but he leaves behind a number of lovely offspring to grace our herd for years to come! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Oh, my oh my! Apache is a proven herdsire with 28 cria on the ground! Sometimes words just aren't enough. If you are looking for an appaloosa harlequin stud to cover your girls and create something truly unique, look no further. This boy has it all! Apache's pedigree is packed (on both sides) with outstanding appaloosas and harlequins. It is highly probable that Apache is homozygous meaning you do not have to breed him to another harlequin or appaloosa to get a good chance of producing an appaloosa / harlequin offspring. A definite plus for those breeding for spots. With 28 offspring now sired by Apache, we have a pretty good picture of his expressivity. Of the 28 offspring on the ground (December 2021), 27 of the dams were solid colored (not appaloosa or harlequin). All but 2 of the 27 offspring are either classic appaloosa or harlequin. That is an expression rate of 93%! Ironically, the one appaloosa female that Apache was bred to threw a solid. Apache is as sure of a bet as you can get when looking for these uniquely colored / patterned alpacas. Apache's sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon winning male that sports a beautiful fleece and strong confirmation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expecations making his grandsire the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic. Apache's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of two very well-known appaloosas - NWA/Hearsum Paulo and Cookies and Cream. In May 2021, Apache's appaloosa offspring took 2nd Place - Get of Sire at CABA. UPDATE: For the first time ever, this highly expressive stud will be made available Summer of 2022. We work with international buyers and can guide you through the process. If interested, please don't wait... contact us now!

National Velvet "Lizzy" is a true black silky soft female with a short face, broad muzzle and fuzzy ears. She has excellent bone substance and is a fantastic and protective mother. She has a perfect bite with dark eyes. Her sire is none other than Neversummer's US Steel 3 time Futurity Herdsire of the year for the Small Breeder Division and proven producer of beautiful grey color champions. National Velvet's dam is Granite Bay Satin Silhouette, a beautiful Snowmass Satin ReserveXX daughter with excellent bone substance on a stout frame (which is so characteristic of her sire). National Velvet comes from a great line of beautiful animals with excellent milk production and great mothering instincts. On 12/7/17 Lizzy delivered a beautiful fawn boy sired by 2015 Futurity Color Champion-- FTAF Blackbeard. Lizzy’s cria has no fuzzy cria tips... just beautiful bundles of shiny curls! He was born 14 pounds and has doubled his weight in his first two weeks. Even as a newborn, his fleece is something out of the ordinary... and he has been named Silky Sam, I am! 2018 - Lizzy throws a Harlequin female with black spots! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. This pairing has been repeated for a December 2019 offspring! 11/29/19 - Lizzy delivered a stunning dark silver grey female— dense, silky soft fleece and beautiful coloration. Just charmed! 12/18/20 - Lizzy delivered a 323 day gestation true black! He is very handsome and, as always, Lizzy is being a stellar mom. 3/28/21 - Lizzy was bred to harlequin appaloosa herdsire Apache Gentleman. She is behavior testing "positive" for pregnancy after just one breeding. This girl is oh, so easy when it comes to breeding. Lizzy has now been bred just 3 times since her arrival in December 2017. These 3 breedings have resulted in 2 offspring and its lookin' good that she is pregnant now as well for an early March 2022 offspring. Just love it when the foundation girls are this fertile and reproductively healthy. Go Lizzy!! 7/9/22 - Lizzy is currently in Colorado for her breeding to 3X appaloosa champion Apache Gentlemen's Alchesay. She has behavior tested positive and will return to California in September 2022. Lizzy is available as a 3-in-1 package with her male cria at side. This is a limited time offer while Lizzy is in Colorado.

This handsome young male is out of Granite Bay National Velvet (Lizzy). Lizzy is a stunning true black female with solid fiber stats and lovely curb appeal. For over six years, since her 2015 yearling histogram, Lizzy's fiber stats are relatively unchanged., Her most recent histogram (2021) is as follows: AFD 22.1, SD 4.8, %>30 5.2 (Age 7 yrs). Her sire is none other than Neversummer's US Steel 3 time Futurity Herdsire of the Year for the Small Breeder Division and proven producer of beautiful grey color champions.

Midnight Desire's sire is the highly expressive and wildly spotted harlequin appaloosa herdsire Apache Gentleman. This line carries legendary appaloosa / harlequin genetics on both sides of the pedigree. These exciting genetics are in high demand and several of Midnight Desire's siblings have been exported to Europe.

Midnight Desire is a solid youngster-- straight legs, lovely head style and a bright, fine true black fleece. For those looking to breed for black, grey and even harlequin appaloosa-- this boy could do any or all three. Midnight Desire's harlequin appaloosa sire throws appaloosas and harlequins >80 percent of the time. Because Midnight Desire falls into that 20 percent... no visible spotted category, he is being offered at a greatly reduced price for these genetics.

Midnight Desire is currently in Colorado with his dam, Lizzy. She has been breed to 3X Champion, appaloosa herdsire-- Alchesay-- an Apache son ;-) ! Midnight Desire is available with his bred dam as a 3-in1 package. For potential mid-west and east coast buyers, plan now to save on transport before Midnight Desire returns to California in the Fall.
