<strong>ARI:</strong> #20018283<br />

<p>Camila is a Real Winner, having placed First in her class at the Huron Show with over 350 alpacas. She was placed in our breeding program right afterwords.</p>
<p>In this outstanding proven dam, we combine the awesome genetics of  Black Magic with those of Conan. Conans son and Camila&#8217;s sire has a 97% Comfort Factor and several Blue Ribbons in the ring. His genetics have already combined in Camila to produce a 19 Micron cria fleece! Her fiber stats blew out this year due to diet changes @ 5 farms and pregnancy.</p>
<p>Conan is dense, sons Lancaster and Gustav are DENSE. Caligula is dense, Simba is dense AND fine, Black Magic is one of the best herdsires on Stachowski&#8217;s herdsire row.</p>
<p>Camila had her A.L.Paca&#8217;s Simba cria out in the pasture all by herself on Sunday, July 6th. Simba is an awesome 9X Champion stud out of the Caligula line. He is currently racking up Get of Sire ribbons from his cria. Our new male cria, named Simba&#8217;s Sherwood of Imaginary, is certain to be a showwinner, like the rest of Simba&#8217;s get. He has that signature berber rug fleece and it is FINE! Add Simba&#8217;s genes to Camila&#8217;s perfect Huacaya conformation and awesome fleece with multiple crimps per inch. Her baby will be in the ribbons!!</p>
<p>On Nov 7 of 2008, Camila returned from Vintage Alpacas Ohio bred to their Caligula grandson, Infiniti. His daughter Copper Penny won 1st at AlpacaFest and we have decided it will be an awesome match for her, adding to her fineness. We secretly LOVE Copper Penny since we saw her last spring, and are hoping to breed our own little penny next year! Result is Regis, a stunning fawn male to rival Copper Penny. Reggie will do well in the show ring.</p>
<p>Camila&#8217;s 2009 Fall Breeding was first to Rio, a Med Silver Grey Stud. Then to Infiniti, and Archimedes Crusader when the Rio U.S. was negative.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Rose3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-335" title="Rose" src="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Rose3-130x150.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="150" /></a>Type:</strong> Huacaya<br />
<strong>Status:</strong> Maiden<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 3/27/2009<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> Full Peruvian<br />
<strong>Registration:</strong> ARI Registration Pending<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> White</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> Firenze&#8217;s Boots<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> Antonio&#8217;s Alianza Salute</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $5000</p>
<p>Salute&#8217;s Lenten Rose is a solid white girl out of a Lt. Fawn dam with the fading gene and the True Black gene as recessive as the granddam (Firenze was a True Black and could only give a True Black gene). Salute is a solid white herdsire. This girl should produce colored offspring when bred to color.</p>
<p>She was born Thursday, 3/27/09, at approx 12:30 pm. I had several phone calls updating me on the progression of the birth. It was a nice short birth, all parts presented in the correct order, with the dam grunting so loudly, she could be heard up at the house!! After all she had been induced, host farm&#8217;s choice.</p>
<p>This brightly shining little girl is the 3rd female birthed in 2.5 years of business for Imaginary, out of 14 crias! She has pink skin and bright white fleece. 15.8 lbs, caught nursing at 5 pm, gained 1/2 lb the first 24 hours.</p>
<p>Her lineage is full of well respected herdsires, Hemingway, Mr. Antonio, Antonio&#8217;s Alianza Salute, Black Magic, Matador, Maverick. She produced a very nice white fleece, lots of it, and a good staple length. Salute (sire)had skin biopsy and had extreme density. Lenten&#8217;s Rose&#8217; fleece shows indications of the extra multiple follicle groupings and would fit into any breeding program looking for DENSITY.</p>
<p>She was 16 months at the end of July 2010 and ready to choose her first mating! Buy her now and get a free breeding to any of our herdsires for any of your current stock, good for 2 years. Dartmoor or Kodiak are both unrelated, or she could be bred to a Caligula son, Milagro at Colby Critters. Milagro is maroon with a true black dam. Lenten Rose&#8217; dam&#8217;s dam was also true black! Milagro has the extreme fineness and crimp we see in the Caligula line.</p>

<strong>Status:</strong> Open / Proven<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 12/11/2005<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> Full Peruvian<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #30023185<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> Medium Fawn</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> CPeruvian Mermaid 2228 IMPR98<br />

<p><strong>Price:</strong> $3000</p>
<p>Lock up your heart strings, cause this girl is pretty and her 09 cria Rowan is prettier! She sports a rare black genepool and she just had a True Black baby out of Shades of Grey in 2008. This is a VICUNA colored girl with true black in her pedigree, SA Peruvian Ocean Mist . She is sired by Peruvian Black Out, a true black male from the P6 import from the Pinaya region, known for color. He is incredibly fine, especially for his color, with an import micron average as a mature male of 22.2. He has fewer than two dozen offspring, over 40% of which are black. Ocean Mist’s dam, Peruvian Mermaid, is medium brown and extremely fine with an import MICRON average of 20.1 at two years old. These bloodlines are extremely rare and are most likely unrelated to any in your breeding stock or very probably even any herd in your area.</p>
<p>Ocean Mist had 22.7 micron as cria and the color markings of her finer fleeced cousins, the vicunas, as well as their fiber characteristics. She is ultra fine with an intensely soft handle and 92% Comfort Factor.  Her uniformity is enviable as is her significantly frequent, tight crimp. We were recommended to breed her to grey as vicuna colored females are likely to let that color through.</p>
<p>Her fiber&#8217;s color and brightness are outstanding, with soft handle. Her legs are straight and she tracked well. She is very typey for a huacaya, with the compact body structure that is so desired.</p>
<p>Ocean Mist had a true black boy out of Stachowski&#8217;s Shades of Grey in July of 2008. Unfortunately he suffered a broken femur and was put down as a juvenile on Good Friday, Apr 2009. Spirit is missed and was simply gorgeous!</p>
<p>Mist has been bred to 5X Champ True Black Epic&#8217;s Ultimatum 8/14/08 for her 7/14-30/09 Female cria. Ultimatum is a stunning and powerful Champion black herdsire and son of Hobby Horse Black Epic and a Royal Fawn daughter, he is a perfect match for her! A fawn girl with popcorn crimp, Lady Rowan is 17 lbs!</p>
<h2>Awards Received</h2>
<p>This was a Level V Huacaya Show:</p>
<p>The judge said that her conformation and brightness were perfect. She had the physical attributes that we are looking for in a huacaya. She only lacked the extreme density of the 2 Zephyrus dams ahead of her. Her fleece was ultra fine with a soft buttery handle and good uniform expression. As we know, breeding to the right stud can change a medium density fleece to heavy density and Shades of Grey did a great job with her last cria, High Spirit.</p>
<ul>
<li>5th Place at 2006 OABA AlpacaFest as Juvenile</li>
<li>4th Place at 2009 MAPACA Spin Off, 3rd shorn Fleece HA DF 28 months, score 65.5</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ariella.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-321" title="Ariella" src="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ariella-164x150.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="150" /></a>Type:</strong> Female Huacaya<br />
<strong>Status:</strong> Maiden<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 7/19/2008<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> Full Peruvian<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #31124034<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> Medium Fawn</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> WAR Peruvian Tallulah<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> Accoyo Frisco</p>
<p>Price:  $3000</p>
<p>Ariella was born today.  After tending the newest babies and weighing them, I went over to check on the girls that are near term to see how they were doing and I found her just born, kushed, still in her sack, except for that pretty little head of hers.</p>
<p>So we moved her out to a nice grassy area where the new moms get to bond with their crias in the daytime, all nice and dried off. In the evening, we moved her into a large enclosure in the barn with company on all sides, and gave them another 2 days to get used to things. Then they had to go out to the new cria pasture for pronking lessons. She was doing really well by 18 hours old as I caught her trying to jump over her kushed dam. She missed by one hind leg dragging and had to right herself. She&#8217;s a regular acrobat, our Ariella.</p>
<p>This 3/4 ACCOYO little girl sports 4 ACCOYO lines, including real powerhouses like Leon, Felix, Althea, their pattern get Frisco, and Tallulah&#8217;s line, The Last Don. Tallulah&#8217;s parents are both Recessive True Blacks.</p>
<p>She has a real flashy uptown look, all decked out and ready to show off. Wearing large splashes of fawn over each eye and under the chin and trimming her ears, she has a white head, neck, and sports two white kneesocks in front. Everything else is this beautiful ice cream milk chocolate color. Her fleece is fluffing out as it dries and we&#8217;ll see over the next few days how well it turns out. This girl is DENSE with a nice full topknot.</p>
<p>She would make an awesome foundation girl to go with my totally unrelated new male cria out of Simba, whose fleece has more red tones in it, Sherwood,and Sherwood&#8217;s dam carries True BlackK recessive genes. Or she would fit well into an ACCOYO breeding program or a density program. She does have white extremities, so we feel that she carries the white spot gene.</p>
<p>Ariella was not shown due to a molar that overgrew and had to be treated. She is healed and will be bred summer 2010 for a 2011 cria.</p>
<p>This alpaca is actually owned by Magina and sale will count toward college expenses, so please consider her and help put Magina through college!!</p>

<p>Price:  $2000</p>
<p>Artemis is an easy birther with heavy milk and 18 lb babies. True Black dominant and recessive! She has white muzzle so carries the white spot gene. This deep True Black fleeced dam with outstanding BRIGHTNESS, is the daughter of MULTI-CHAMPION MSG sire REQUEST THE BEST, winner of 11 blue ribbons before the industry had championships. The depth of her color is indicative of the silver grey in her bloodlines.</p>
<p>An experienced mom, her CRIAS have always been born without Assistance and have enjoyed an abundant milk supply. Artemis is a quick and easy breeder, usually taking on the first &#8220;date.&#8221; She maintains 170-200 lbs.</p>
<p>The proud dam of 6 outstanding crias, True Black 2002 Artemis&#8217;Oreo Ari 841020, dark fawn 2005 Remington&#8217;s Shadow Ari 1312539, and 2006 med fawn Bolero&#8217;s Kodiak ARI 30670372.

We name him Cashew&#8217;s COMANCHERO of Imaginary, the brown gene came from Cashew!</p>

<h2>Awards Received</h2>
<p>While Artemis has not been shown, her sire, REQUEST THE BEST, won 3 AOBA Nationals First Places in a row. This was before CHAMPIONSHIPS were offered in the industry. Truly an exceptional male, he can be viewed at www.bemyalpaca.com.<br />
Request is a stunning grey with ZERO brown spots anywhere in his fleece. Truly the daughter of a champion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tallulah.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-308" title="Tallulah" src="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tallulah-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Type:</strong> Huacaya<br />
<strong>Status:</strong> Open / Proven<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 1/18/2006<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> Full Peruvian<br />
<strong>ARI: </strong> #351828I</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> 6Peruvian Greta 6248 IMPR98<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> 6Peruvian ACCOYO The Last Don IMPR98</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $1500</p>
<p>Her first cria, Ariella, is one of my daughter&#8217;s herd. Tallulah was purchased shorn. She had an excellent bonnet and nice crimp in her tail with very soft 1/2 inch staple length. Her conformation was correct and typey.</p>
<p>Her first female cria is get of Full Accoyo &#8220;Frisco&#8221; for a 3/4 accoyo pattern cria, Ariella, with a solid fawn blanket. Very Flashy girl with good growth.</p>
<p>Tallulah had her Frisco baby Sunday, July 19th and it is THE FIRST GIRL born at Imaginary since start-up in 2006, our 11th cria to date!! This little girl weighed in at 12 lbs and was up and nursing in 7 hours. Today she tried to jump over her kushed mom and only missed by one hind leg, so she is feeling pretty good! She has fawn color with a flashy white neck and head, freckles and a patch on the face. Her coat is fluffing up nicely, too, and very fine.</p>
<p>That would be The Last Don and Felix and Leon Accoyo lines for this 3/4 ACCOYO little GIRL. Both the Last Don and Greta have had TRUE BLACK offspring. Tallulah has the possibility of carrying True Black as a recessive gene! Her recessive gene MUST be darker or equal to her current fleece color!</p>
<p>Tallulah had a retained baby tooth that was pulled when she was staying at another farm that had purchased her cria. Not closely attended to after the tooth was extracted she lost 40 lbs in 3 months and developed a jaw infection. Her muzzle is somewhat distorted now after treatment. Upon retrieval of my dam, she was treated and fed special rations and is now able to eat normally and back up to her proper weight. Consequentially, she was not rebred and will be in 2012.</p>
<p>Tallulah board will be free for first 30 days after signed contract. Any vet bills and cost of meds would be buyers responsibility. All inquiries welcome and we will allow a reservation for purchase and visitation!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SugarsGift.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-238" title="Sugar's Gift" src="http://imaginaryalpaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/SugarsGift-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Type:</strong> Female Huacaya<br />
<strong>Status:</strong> Madien<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 9/28/2006<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> 1/4 Bolivian, 1/4 Chilean<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #30710320<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> White</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> H.P.R. Maple Sugar<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> Raven&#8217;s Skywalker</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $500 (This price will go up with a confirmed pregnancy.)</p>
<p>Sugar&#8217;s Gift is a top EATER and easily puts on too much weight. Her front legs are a bit stiff gaited, presumably due to a long dystocia birth. The daughter of Raven&#8217;s Skywalker (White) and USA born Maple Sugar (Lt Fawn). The granddaughter of Acero Marka&#8217;s Sky Pilot, a white Bolivian producing show winning offspring.</p>
<p>Silky soft fiber with crimp. She placed 2nd in Halter and was an unwilling obstacle course participant, still taking in the ribbons. But she absolutely LOVES our walks! So she is currently a companion and farm cutie.</p>
<p>&#8220;Gift&#8221; pedigree includes the following colored ancestors: Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Medium Fawn, Light Fawn, Beige, and White. Of her 8 ancestors, only Raven and Sky Pilot are whites, the rest are colored. Her white &#8220;uncle&#8221; throws color when bred to color. With all the color in her background, we are expecting color in the crias when she is ready to breed!</p>
<p>Raven&#8217;s Skywalker, and John Tunstall are all son&#8217;s of Acero Marka&#8217;s Sky Pilot. As you can see in the photos to the right, they are all outstanding herdsires today. One uncle, Sky Master is found at Almar Alpacas (Reserve Champion at Alpacafest 2000), and John Tunstall is found at AuSable Valley Alpacas, producing more show winners. Tunstall himself placed 2nd at Nationals for composite white male with Judges comments, &#8220;he is just SO dense!&#8221;</p>
<p>Getting my hands deep in Sugar&#8217;s fleece, she is REALLY DENSE, too. I must say, the more time I get in Sugar&#8217;s &#8220;full helmet styled topknot&#8221; the better I like her, just silky soft. She weighed 124 at 1 yr old! Conformationally she is a little long, but on her, that just means more top quality MILL PREFERRED GRADE fleece. She readily converts pasture to fleece, bodyscoring a &#8217;9&#8242; and could use some long hills to get her weight down.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t gotten around to seriously trying to breed her yet. Her dam produced ROSE GREY Super II. So Sugar should throw color when bred to color. Try her out at this low price!</p>
<p>We are currently uncertain whether she is pregnant or just in &#8216;GOOD CONDITION&#8217;. Progesterone testing at shearing in May was not positive.</p>

<p>Garetsun has very strong genetics and can put the fiber and the bone into the older style suri dams like Haley&#8217;s Dream, or a contender on better dams! A beautiful herdsire, Garetsun is the complete package! He carries True Black genetics that hold fineness  from Lethal Weapon. Solid 26 lb Lt Fawn female cria when bred to Lofty Pines best Suri, Leyla, so watch what he can do!

Available to use in your upcoming breeding program this year.</p>
<p>He has the finesse &amp; beauty of his mom Terra JAX, who is a PPeruvian Juan and PPPeruvian Felpa (139232/White) daughter. Felpa produced many award winning crias. Juan (123009/white)has produced 100% Suri offspring with dark pigmentation and throws color in his get, passing on his awesome bone.</p>

<strong>Status:</strong> Herdsire, Unproven<br />
<strong>Birthdate:</strong> 7/6/2008<br />
<strong>Heritage:</strong> 1/8 Bolivian, 1/8 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> Dark Fawn</p>
<p><strong>Dam:</strong> Gustav&#8217;s Peruvian Camila<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> A.L. Paca&#8217;s Simba</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong>  $4000 1/2 interst<br />
<strong>Stud Fee:</strong> $300</p>
<p>Caligula, Conan, Black Magic, Camelot bloodlines all contributed their best genes to this cria&#8217;s fleece and conformation. Come by and check out how well he has grown over the winter!</p>
<p>Camila birthed her ACCOYO Caligula line Simba cria this morning all on her own out in the pasture. His due date at 11 months was 7/10 so I didn&#8217;t expect to see him today. I ran out to check on her and there he was laying in the field. He has awesome fleece. His gestation was 2 1/2 weeks less than Misty&#8217;s cria also born today and he is somewhat smaller. He appears to be nursing well already with tail up so we just dipped his cord and relocated the pair to the Maternity Barn for bonding and safe pronking races. He was joined by a 3rd cria from Midre on Tuesday morning. All three are racing around the front pastures. What joy!</p>
<p>Did I mention he has Simba&#8217;s dense berber rug fleece?</p>
<p>We estimate his birthweight at 14 lbs and growing rapidly. He&#8217;s 10 days old and has gained 5 lbs. Still racing around the pastures, neck and neck with High Spirit.</p>
<p>Clyde was the home of literary great Sherwood Anderson. This famous author taught Hemingway and other aspiring authors of the time how to write. So we name this cria in his honor.</p>
<p>For those of you still looking at country of ancestors origins, Simba produced the berber rug in this cria and it is from him that the Bolivian and Chilean origins appear. Simba is a multiple champion, producing cookie cutter crias and champions from the ACCOYO Caligula line.</p>
<p>He is set for our junior herdsire row. Make him part of yours, too.</p>

<p>2X Champion 4X FIRST in WHITE, Firecracker has the bloodlines to be your white Jr. Herdsire! &#8220;MOST COMPLETE PACKAGE, said Judge Wade Gease.</p>
<p>He is an ACCOYO CAMION grandson (born on the truck during import), who won GET OF SIRE at PAOBA. Firecracker&#8217;s dam is FULL PERUVIAN from ALIANZA&#8217;s Antacalla farm that just won PRODUCE OF DAM at age 12 with Firecracker and Skyrider.</p>
<p>Antacalla is noted for it&#8217;s exquisitely fine fleeced suri&#8217;s. Both Sabrina and Camion had 19 micron fleeces at import and 1.5-2.1% guard hair which is fine for a suri! Firecracker reflects these genetics in his 15 month fleece sample results!</p>
<p>Firecracker was born with tiny pencil locks all twisted and locked up to the skin with brilliant LUSTER and density.He took GRAND and RESERVE CHAMPION in 2007 after taking a 3rd out of 14 against well known herdsires&#8217; get at 2007 Buckeye! He continues to place in Level III and Level V Shows in the white class in his 3rd fleece. Up against 12X Champion SBS Crown Prince, he placed first in walking fleece and second in halter in a competitive class at the National Champion Show. He is maintaining a FINER MICRON FLEECE as he ages!! As a small farm, we showed him as much as we could. We are just now able to breed him as we only have a couple of suri girls unrelated to him.</p>
<p>Firecracker has a correct bite and holds his own in the mature male pen. Both Camion and Sabrina allow color through when bred to color and we hope Firecracker will too.</p>
<h2>Awards Received</h2>
<p>Grandsire USA CAMION resides at Meadowgate Farms Alpacas. His offspring have been taking 1st, and Championship ribbons from 2002 &#8211; 2007. And Firecracker is his CHAMPION GRANDSON!!!!! This is a rarer Accoyo line that has been hidden away. Firecracker is a RARE and very high quality suri.</p>
