Charles won his FIFTH Get of Sire Blue ribbon at the 2009 Best of the Midwest Alpaca Show! Each of his wins has been in front of a different pair of judges and has used different offspring.
The Best of the Midwest Show saw 3 of his offspring win color banners. In her first show at just over 6 months of age, his Bay Black daughter Miss Clementine Atlas, won the blue ribbon in a large class, and then went on to win the Black Female Color Championship. Coffee Pot Indiana Jones and Coffee Pot Idelava both took the blue and went on to win the Reserve Champion Banner in both male and female brown.
His offspring had their first show year in 2008:
True Black Lady Tiffany Color Champion
Bay Black son Mapquest Color Champion
Fawn daughter Irreplaceable 3 time Color Champion
Medium Brown daughter Idalava 3 time Color Champion
Indefinite dark daughter Maia Color Champion
Fawn daughter Clarisse Color Champion......
Did you notice how many of those champions were female? With 50+ offspring on the ground, Charles has a 5 to 1 female to male ratio.
Charles eagerly took to his role as working herdsire at the precocious age of 18 months. Regal bearing, classic perfect conformation, handsome head, and oh his fiber. His shiny fawn fleece has character that jumps out at you and possesses great density. His 2006 and 2007 staple was about 5".
His pedigree contains Accoyo Timoteo (one of the 3 best Accoyo ever exported to the US according to Don Julio Barreda), Peruvian Quetzal, and Peruvian Matador, one of the most influential true black herdsires ever imported into the US.
