Another night birth… awoke to this handsome harlequin appaloosa male. He was up, dry and nursing. This was the first birth for dam, Stone Pine Olivia. … and she did a stellar job. Olivia is a harlequin-appaloosa out of Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia. Taupie is a prepotent homozygous harlequin stud that has over 50 offspring on the ground. Over 70 percent are either appaloosa or harlequin grey. He has champion offspring as well as champion grand-offspring.

Be Brave's dam, Stone Pine Olivia, was paired with another prepotent homozygous harlequin stud for her maiden breeding-- Apache Gentleman. Apache has over 30 registered offspring of which the majority are either appaloosa or harlequin. Apache's offspring have been rockin' the multi-show ring. He has a number of champion offspring including 3X champion Apache Gentlemen's Alchesay. Apache also has two Get of Sire awards with his appy and harlequin offspring -- a 1st place and 2nd place. (Photos included to the right).

Be Brave's is a healthy, spunky youngster. His fleece has been bundles of crimpy curls from day 1. It is very likely that this young man is homozygous for the appaloosa-harlequin allele. His pedigree carries appaloosa and harlequin genetics… galore! Be Brave has been color genotyped, so future pairings can be optimized for desired outcomes.

Be Brave's lovely dam, Olivia, has been bred to our newest appaloosa herdsire and 3X banner winner, Snowmass Sizlin' Legacy XX for a January 2024 offspring. These power-house appaloosa genetics are for the serious appy-harley breeder or anyone interested in jumping into the exciting world of raising and breeding these unique alpacas.

UPDATE: Be Brave's first histogram is in and confirms what we thought. Full report included to right. His fleece is coming in nicely-- bright, fine and well-defined staples. ... and the sweetest of dispositions.
