Thank you, Plumeria Alpaca Ranch! This is one boy that I hated to let go, but I know he’ll fit in great on your farm. I hope he and Dalton will be the best of buddies!
Perseus won 2nd Place at the 2024 AOA National Show in Walking Fleece and 4th in Halter against some incredible competition!!!
Well, this guy gave us a little shock twice! First, as he was born, and second, when he was cria tipped! Take a look at all of those spots in the photo taken just after he was cria tipped! We’re not sure if he is an Appaloosa, or as someone told us—a spotted Pinto. But, he’ll be going to the AOA National Show in March, and we’ll see what they say. In reading the show rules, it seems that he could be placed in the Appy class, or possibly the Pattern class.
Perseus is a spunky little guy -- although the youngest in his Spring 2023 class, he's the main instigator of pasture romps and it's adorable to watch him play!
He’s not at all what we were expecting from the breeding, but he sure is cute! Yes, he has the two obvious large spots -- one of them is heart shaped, and he has at least a couple dozen smaller spots—we haven’t counted them all, but they’re everywhere! His spots are showing up more at the surface now. We're still watching his fleece as it develops...it may be lacking that coveted density. That being said, he's certainly no fluff ball. It has plenty of crimp and structure. See his February 2024 fleece shots, that were taken by myself with one hand.
Perseus also has strong conformation with very nice bone. At 6 months old, he was 70 pounds -- excellent size for his age -- with a broad chest and a nice square frame.
