Darlin' Clementine joined the Rare Gem herd in 2020. My eye is always on the look-out for girls that check all the boxes-- and Darlin' Clementine is definitely a "box-checker" and a rare find! In just two years, she has produced two beautiful classic appaloosas when bred to harlequin appaloosa, Apache Gentleman. The first appaloosa, Rare Gem Savage Love, was a handsome fellow with generous spotting through out blanket. He was purchased by Faye Farley of Majestic Meadows and Alison Mnich of Roaring Acres Alpacas. The pairing that produced Savage Love was repeated an in November 2022, Clementine blessed us with a lovely appaloosa female. While not as spotted as Savage Love, Raya Sunshine, has medium fawn spots sprinkled throughout her blanket and extremities. She is a healthy, robust female that we look forward to watching her develop. Prior to joining the Rare Gem herd, Clementine birthed two female offspring. The first was lovely female born in 2016-- Summer Shandy. Shandy is a multi blue ribbon winner with a two year histogram of 12.8 AFD and Comfort Factor of 99.2%. In 2021, we were fortunate enough to purchase Summer Shandy and rejoin her with her dam, Clementine. Shandy has been bred to harlequin appaloosa, Apache Gentleman, and is due in January 2023. Also, prior to arriving at Rare Gem Alpacas, Clementine has a lovely white female in July 2019-- Clementine's Cutie. Cutie is sired by Hobby Horse Farm's Judge's Choice Winner and 8X champion-- Dancing on the Ceiling. Cutie grew into a robust 190 lb. female. She was bred to Apache and sold to Nichole Baumgartner of Cactus Hill Alpacas in Arizona. Cutie threw a lovely harlequin male, Leo, from the Apache breeding. At Cutie's her first show, the AOA National Fleece Show, she took two 1st place ribbons. Her 2021 histogram results were AFD 18.4, SD 3.7, CV 20.2%, %>30=0.4, CF 99.6%, MSL 101. Clementine is a devout mother with great maternal instincts. She gets pregnant easily and throws large, healthy cria and has a great milk supply.

CONGRATULATIONS to Roy Davis of R & K's Alpaca farm on the purchase of Apache Gentleman. Apache will be moving to their farm in Iowa in June 2022. Apache will be greatly missed at Rare Gem Alpacas but he leaves behind a number of lovely offspring to grace our herd for years to come! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Oh, my oh my! Apache is a proven herdsire with 28 cria on the ground! Sometimes words just aren't enough. If you are looking for an appaloosa harlequin stud to cover your girls and create something truly unique, look no further. This boy has it all! Apache's pedigree is packed (on both sides) with outstanding appaloosas and harlequins. It is highly probable that Apache is homozygous meaning you do not have to breed him to another harlequin or appaloosa to get a good chance of producing an appaloosa / harlequin offspring. A definite plus for those breeding for spots. With 28 offspring now sired by Apache, we have a pretty good picture of his expressivity. Of the 28 offspring on the ground (December 2021), 27 of the dams were solid colored (not appaloosa or harlequin). All but 2 of the 27 offspring are either classic appaloosa or harlequin. That is an expression rate of 93%! Ironically, the one appaloosa female that Apache was bred to threw a solid. Apache is as sure of a bet as you can get when looking for these uniquely colored / patterned alpacas. Apache's sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon winning male that sports a beautiful fleece and strong confirmation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expecations making his grandsire the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic. Apache's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of two very well-known appaloosas - NWA/Hearsum Paulo and Cookies and Cream. In May 2021, Apache's appaloosa offspring took 2nd Place - Get of Sire at CABA. UPDATE: For the first time ever, this highly expressive stud will be made available Summer of 2022. We work with international buyers and can guide you through the process. If interested, please don't wait... contact us now!

Certificate Histogram

Cutie was born a healthy 17.6 lbs.and joined the Rare Gem herd in the Fall of 2019 as a cria at side with dam Darlin' Clementine. She has grown into a lovely stud female weighing in at 180 lbs at age 2. In addition to being well-grown, Cutie has density, fineness and beautiful fiber uniformity.

For Cutie's maiden breeding, she has been bred to harlequin appaloosa stud, Apache Gentleman. With the color and outstanding fiber genetics in her pedigree, we are anticipating something spectacular from this pairing.

Cutie's Sire: Judge's Choice and 8X Champion, Hobby Horse Dancing on the Ceiling (Rico's Arctic Rendezvous son and Rico Suave grandson).

Sire, Dancer's 2016 Skin Biopsy - WOW!:

106 follicles/sq mm 11.1 SP Ratio

Norm Evans writes, "... many clusters show virtually no secondary fiber medulation which is unique and should relate to excellent handle...."

The breeding decision that paired Cutie's dam, with EPDs of her own in the top 1%, to Dancer paid off...
