PENDING SALE - Carmine's cria sold at her side

Carmine has developed well into a strong, conformed dam with lovely richly colored fiber. Her first cria was a beautiful CMSG girl by Steel Fox, a male we sadly lost after the bomb cyclone storm of 2018. Based on Carmine's ability to throw grey we bred her to Silver Signature to tap her grey heritage, producing a fine-fibered black male. We know she will produce black, too! Her next cria for us, sired by our multiple champion Truthsayer, is a strong male that would be a grey if his main color was a dark color rather than light fawn. With his beautiful white marking on his face and light coloration, we named him Crazy Horse after the famous Sioux warrior. Carmine was bred back to grey, our Quixotic son, Majestic's Trouble, for a hopeful grey girl just like her first breeding but she produced a brown girl with white on her face, like her material grandsire. But based on Trouble's other dark brown offspring, I am pretty sure she is carrying genetics to produce classic grey. This is girl is solid and feeling pretty dense! Carmine's maternal pedigree is loaded in great herdsires that were cornerstones of the dark and grey industry as it was built in the United States: o Carmine's sire, AutumnSun's Major General, garnered champions against classic greys & single-spot patterns. o Major's sire: Patagonia's Ernesto -- grandson of champion Lennox -- both multiple champions of Patagonia Alpacas. o Major produced silver grey, rose grey and black crias (solid conformation, headstyle and crimp). o Major's dam: Patagonia's La Traviesa -- from the champion Kaspa, the 1st modern grey champion in the show ring. o Carmine's maternal aunt: Carnaval, another matriarch in our breeding program regularly producing black crias. o Carmine's dam: AutumnSun's Summer Solstice -- full sister of multiple champion AutumnSun's Frosted Red Rose. o Rose herself sired champion after champions -- and nearly all grey! o Summer's sire: Kanaka -- a multiple champion "fawn grey" who won against solid fawns in his time. o Summer's paternal grandsire: multiple champion grey, Avatar, another cornerstone of grey pedigrees. o We retained Major's daughter, Champagne Bubbles, out of our Fresca (daughter of Aika) or we'd keep Carmine. o We have another paternal half-sister, TB Brina, whose maiden offspring is a lovely classic MSG girl! o Summer half-sister TB Water Sprite, who gives us nothing but black & grey, to include Night rain -- who made black! o Carmine is shown to produce a typey classic silver grey or black when bred to a classic silver grey herdsire. For the short time, she is sold with her female, grey indicative cria at her side.
