We are proud to add Patagonia's Darrilo to our breeding program. Darrilo is a TRUE BLACK, stocky built, mild mannered macho with fantastic color genetics. Darrilo's skin biopsy, though not taken until age 4, still showed him to be above average in density 48.6 mm with an amazing standard deviation of only 2.9 u (micron) on an MFD of 20.1 microns. No wonder he has such a soft, fine handle.
Darrilo has a very special pedigree loaded with outstanding color. Starting with his sire, Patagonia's El Vasco has a championship show record due to his very stylish look and very dense (70 fsqmm) very soft (19 micron) very consistent (SP 13to1) fleece.
El Vasco was sired by the famous, exotic modern grey Neruda. One of the industry's rare dark point grey's, Neruda sold for $205,000 making his genetics some of the most sought after in the country. Vasco's dam, Melrose was sired by PPeruvian Pluro who made a name for himself in Peru, the United States and Australia. Pluro's breeding's were in high demand for his ability to pass on his incredible fleece coverage and large bone.
But that's not all! Darrilo's dam was sired by Caballero Andante, a decorated black male known for producing 100% black when bred to black. Andante has sired many fine fleeced offspring with crimpy dense fleece along with that very stylish type' head.
Darrilo has only one offspring so far but she is a stunning black with incredible density. You are welcome to check her out yourself so you too can see why we are so excited about adding Darrilo to our black and grey breeding program.
Darillo is so mild mannered he is very easy to handle and can be pastured with young boys without fear of fighting or misbehavior.
We proudly co-own Darrilo with Paul and Sue Mager of Mager Mountain Alpacas and we offer Darrilo for the low introductory stud fee of only $500.
