ANDACAL'S LEGACY OF TRIPLE CROWN

Triple Crown's grey sire MMALP Citation has some very unique genetics and only sired two crias before he was tragically lost in the fall of 2019. We have both of them born to our herd in 2020, one female and this male Triple Crown. Citation's sire was Libertad's Notorious, a rose grey male that was sired by Accoyo America Libertad. Libertad only sired 5 offspring before being lost in a barn fire. He was sired by NGG Accoyo Apache II. So, that means Citation's sire Notorious was a half Accoyo grey male and there just aren't many greys with that much Accoyo genetics in them. Citation's dam WLK Adriana has great grey genetics and was a banner winner. More importantly, Adriana has been a great production female and has produced a multiple number of banner winners herself. Her sire was the great grey herdsire Silver Heat and her dam was an outstanding grey female Silver Marquis' Platinum Plus. Platinum Plus is the dam of our black male herdsire BB and was sired by another great grey herdsire named Silver Marquis of Round Hill. So, we have great Accoyo genetics combined with great grey genetics on the top half of Triple Crown's pedigree. The unique thing is that there is a lot of the same great grey genetics as found in the top half of Triple Crown's pedigree as found in the bottom along with some different great Accoyo genetics. Triple Crown's dam is Silverstone's Kiva. Her sire is WLK Silver Stone and he was also sired by Peruvian Silver Heat. Silver Stone's pedigree is predominately grey alpacas. Kiva's dam is WLK French Silk. Her sire is a great Accoyo herdsire by the name of DDF Double Dutch's American Spirit. He was such an outstanding Accoyo herdsire at one time that he was sold to someone for the price of $175,000. He was sired by Crown Royale and was out of a Viceroy daughter. French Silk also has the great MacGyver's genetics in her pedigree as her dam was a MacGyver daughter. So, Triple Crown was a bit line bred for the great grey genetics of Silver Heat combined with two different great lines of Accoyo genetics. He's another unique genetic powerhouse. It's not a surprise then that Triple Crown has such great conformation and such a beautiful Suri phenotype. He has great fleece coverage and an exceptional Suri head style. His fleece is lustrous, fine, dense, and organized. It's also grey as far as we can tell if you open it up. We felt it matched with either dark silver grey or dark rose grey when we opened it up next to the fleece color card. So, we think he is a modern grey Suri alpaca. His unique genetics, his great look, and his lustrous grey or brown or taupe fleece make him special.
