Faith and Fleece Alpacas

Grazie

Gia's Grazie

There are best laid plans, best guesses and then sometimes best surprises. This girl's dam is very uniquely marked, somewhat tuxedo grey but almost half black in front. We joked at what color her baby would be as to which half was more dominant. We would not have ever guessed this color - it is even a different rose grey color than her sire - the reddish hue is very striking. When she was born a whole lotta of Grazie's came out.

TWT Hawkeye's Dizzy Gillespie gets an absolute atta-boy for this one. I am totally smitten with her color and markings and it isn't a typical color I gravitate towards. Honestly the eye shadow with the lips, she is a walking makeup commercial. She has beautiful face coverage. Some more silver grey color is evident after shearing off a truly beautiful blanket.

We decided to try her at fall shows and she took a respectable 3rd and 5th place from the different judges. Both judges commended her conformation.

We had her fleece processed into sport-weight yarn instead of chunky and it turned out quite nice.

When she turned two and was indicating she was ready to date. We bred her one time to Blue Silver - she still appears to be resisting a male. Time will tell soon enough.
