Wild Rose Suri Ranch

Description

Queenie has the most unusual coloring and pattern for the suri appaloosa that we have seen to date. Her base color is black, with spots of medium brown and dark silver grey. It is truly eye-catching! She arrived on our farm in August of 2017 with not much history known about her. Unfortunately, we could not find photos of her sire and dam.

Her sire is Black Debut's Fortunatus, a true black, full Bolivian male out of Danza (white dam), and Black Debut of Bolivia (true black sire). Her dam, Philips Onyx, is true black with 1/2 Chilean and 1/2 Peruvian bloodlines. Onyx's bloodlines include 4Peruvian Condor, a dark rose grey appaloosa, and Sudden Impact, a true black imported Bolivian herd sire.

Queenie was still a maiden when we acquired her, and we bred her to WRSR Justice by Apocalypse, a 1/2 Accoyo medium fawn male out of a dark brown dam, Peruvian Dejavue. Justice has wonderful density and fineness with high shear weights, and we bred her to him to accentuate the appaloosa color and markings. Well, WRSR Teddy Bear by Justice was born with his sire's coloring. He is a beautiful honey gold color, but no spots this time. He has a very fine fleece, is inquisitive and playful, too. Queenie is currently open and we do not plan on rebreeding her because of her personality change when pregnant (she doesn't like being pregnant). We love her non-pregnant personality and that makes her a special alpaca on the farm for visitors and us!

Queenie is a favorite PR alpaca when she is not pregnant. She is loving and craves attention and is a hit on Open Farm Days with the kids and adults, both.
