Description

PERFECT FOR THE SMALL BREEDER! ACOV Accoyo Greyback's Gabriel brings Accoyo genetics and fiber structure in a Dark Silver Grey.

A macho male at 210 lbs. (after shearing), Gabriel has inherited his dam's stately height and presence. "Gabe" is a grandson of CPeruvian Accoyo Express 0222 with a granddam of the Accoyo and Alianza lines.

Andy Merriwether, owner of his sire Express's Accoyo Greyback states: "He is black at the base color gene (two copies of black); so every sperm he produces has black in it, and every cria he sires will cover black (i.e. will have black as one of their two colors). So, no matter what color the cria he sires (and he can make every color because black is recessive to everything), every cria of his will be able to make black. He is also modern grey/roan, which means he has two copies of roan and will pass one of those on to all his cria. All of his cria could also make modern grey, even if they were not modern grey themselves. He does not have any white spots; so he should never make a blue-eyed white. So, he could be bred to any dam." In other words, this is a male you want to have in your breeding program!!

Second place at the 2013 Buckeye Alpaca Show (behind our Zuri), Judge Jill MacLeod stated, that he is "a tall, proportionate male with correct movement."
