PH Black Epic's Sapphire   

True Black, 1089073, 1/4 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian

Sapphire is an elegant female with phenomenal fiber coverage. She is a proven dam who breeds and delivers easily. Sapphire has wonderful conformation with a solid frame and deep chest. Her crias are beautiful & well nurtured. Sapphire's 2008 cria is VAC Rondo, out of Jetson. Rondo is a strong potential herdsire with a wonderful frame and dense fiber.

Sapphire's genetics are exceptional. Her sire, the famous Black Epic, boasts multiple color Championships and has produced high quality Championship offspring. Sapphire's dam, Hootalinqua is an impressive foundation female, originally from the Patagonia herd. Every Hootalinqua offspring to date - including Sapphire - has been a blue ribbon winner.

UPDATE: October 12th - It's a girl! Sapphire has a beautiful dark brown little Beethoven girl now by her side, "VAC's Symphonic Gem".

UPDATE: July 4th kicked off the arrival of Beethoven's 1st crop of crias. 7 little beauties on the ground as of September 6th. They're carrying their daddy's distinctive head and super density. So far Beethoven has thrown bay black, dark brown, light brown, and light, medium & dark fawn. We can't wait to meet the rest of the Class of 2009!

Beethoven has now won 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS with his most recent (and coveted) banners being awarded to him as a yearling by Mike Safley at the North American Alpaca Show, Amanda VanderBosch at The Futurity, and Jude Anderson at MAPACA.

Beethoven is quite simply a masterpiece, with dense, consistent fiber which exhibits beautiful architectur
