PBR Apache's Spirit in the Sky is precisely the female her name details from a long line of distinguished championship alpacas. A stunningly gorgeous female physically with a spirit to match brings a lot to a breeding program. The ability to combine Apache Gentlemen, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentlemen, and Candlelight's Cookies and Cream with Polaris is outrageous. If high-quality appaloosa/harlequins are part of your breeding program, you cannot afford to miss out on this beauty. Who knows what lurks under that dark fleece? Her 2022 breeding to PBR R Creek's Divine Bellagio produced a gorgeous true black male (PBR Divine Freebird) with fleece that matches his sires. Imagine a true black as black as ink with crimpy, long staple, and a shine that will shock your to the bone!
PBR Apache's Spirit in the Sky's sire, Apache Gentlemen's pedigree, is packed (on both sides) with outstanding appaloosas and harlequins. His sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon-winning male with beautiful fleece and strong conformation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expectations, making the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic grandsire. Apache's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of two well-known appaloosas - NWA/Hearsum Paulo and Cookies and Cream.
Bright Water Ranch's Espresso, Spirit's dam, was a lovely Bay Black female. She was the daughter of VF Yahoo Too and BMR Sienna, the daughter of Polaris, a successful alpaca industry male. Espresso had a beautiful bright fleece with a nice crimp and displayed a decent phenotype. Her bloodlines included recognizable names such as Peruvian Hemingway, Polaris, Peruvian Felix and Snowmass Snowmaster's Shiraz; she was in the top 25% for crimp. She proved she could produce the ever-so-rare Calico Harlequin/Appaloosa in her first offspring, Rare Gem Whole Latte Love (exported to Switzerland) and her second, PBR Apache's Spirit in the Sky (check out her page)
Males of this caliber are exceptionally rare when such superior genetics for fleece production is packaged in an outstanding phenotype . This Snowmass Divine Love grandson (PBR Divine World's Bellagio) is our first pick for the 2024 rebreeding of Spirit. Superior fineness, micron-adjusted uniformity (17.4 afd!), extreme brightness, bundling beyond belief and blanket extension is why he took Champion at the 2020 AOA National Show and Champion at the 2021 Paoba Fleece Show. What an incredible accomplishment before the age of two!!!! Those aren't his only accomplishments, either! He settled his first girl at only 15 months old and once again knocked me off my feet with a gorgeous fleeced female baby, PBR Divine Lola Rose (sold). Her fleece is so much like daddy's..
