What a surprise! Patches popped out as a light fawn with some speckles and spots, but by the time she was 6 months old, her topline was showing a beautiful light grey. She has been a winner from day 1, and dominates the fleece shows with her fineness and uniformity. Patches is a 3X Fleece Champion at the largest suri shows in the country, and was even awarded
1st Place at the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show. She produces a uniform grey fleece with notable fineness and consistency. The color is a beautiful bronzed silver grey, and is gorgeous when spun into yarn. Patches is a smaller female, weighing only 130 lb in good condition. However, she births easily, has lots of milk, is a great mother, and is truly a treasured foundation dam for Wild Rose.
Patches delivered a beautiful harlequin cria in 2014, WRSR Pepper Dot by Coalossus, and as she turned 1 year old, her fleece grew out a dark silver grey. She still has spots on her face and legs, making her very showy and flashy, just like her mom, Patches.
Patches was bred to Shasta Springs Fusion and delivered a beautiful appy male cria, WRSR JackKnife by Fusion, on August 5, 2016. He has beautiful distinct dark fawn spots on a silver grey base - gorgeous!
She was bred to Fusion for a May 2018 cria, and delivered another stunning appaloosa female on 6/6/18, "WRSR Sweet Spot by Fusion". She looks very similar to Pepper Dot and is a light silver grey with spots.
Patches was been rebred to Fusion for a May 2022 cria and we were excited to see a beautiful dark harlequin appy males, WRSR Zanzibar by Fusion.
Patches was retired from breeding in the fall of 2022. She has produced beautiful crias and been an exceptional suri alpaca with a sweet personality.
