Dark Shaddow is not being offered for outside breedings. Dark Shaddow was awarded the prestigious 2006 Reserve Herd Sire of the Year! Shaddow is what is considered truely an "IMPACT" male. He is the only true black herd sire in the US that we know of that has produced the most champion award winning offspring and is the most consistent. Fifteen awards including "Get of Sire", 3 championships, presence, crimp, density, fineness, luster, conformation, thick topknot(the densest we have ever seen) and coverage. Shaddow is as black as coal and his fleece is non-fading even at 11 years of age. He has no gray fibers at all like most true black males of his age that we have seen. Shaddow's offspring have been taking the showring by storm, having won more than 50 championships (17 alone in 2006) and several blue ribbons. Several of his offspring (all color) won yearling bred and owned in large classes which included champion white, light and fawn animals. He has produced true black offspring out of black females, bay black out of light fawn females and gray or true black offspring out of gray dams. When his offspring are born the first thing noticed is the very correct conformation and presence that is seen. Dark Shaddow is also very consistent in production of color. One of his offspring, A.L. Paca's Rose to the Occasion (10X champion gray female), a dark silver gray female seen on this page, is a very impressive girl. She sold at the 2007 AOBA Auction for a very impressive $96K, making her the highest selling gray female in the world! Rose won color championship over the only other alpaca to beat A of O Silver Celebration. (Females and males are combined at the Magical Farms/Ameripaca Futurity for championship classes). Dark Shaddow is without a doubt the best true black male in the USA. No other herdsire compares.
Dam:
Sweet Magnolia

All we can say about Magnolia is WOW! She has all the attributes one is looking for in a true black female. First off Maggie is a non-fading fourth generation jet black proven female. She has a very pleasing phenotype with a full bonnet, coverage from head to toe, good bone capacity, density and crimp. Maggie was shown only one time and placed 2nd in a very large competitive class of 14 behind the color champion; not a bad place to be for her very first and only showing. She is also great producer of high quality true black offspring. Maggie's first born son, Amistad, won his very first blue ribbon in his baby fleece at just six months of age in a competitive class of 14 as well. Her second son, Drakkar, is also an outstanding true black male having placed in the upper half of his class and has always attracted much attention with his full bonnet and coverage as well as pleasing phenotype. Maggie gave birth to another outstanding true black son, The Wiseman, on Christmas eve 08 and he already has the markings of being another outstanding son of hers who we feel has all the attributes of possibly becoming a champion.
We will also throw in a breeding to either of our award winning Jr. Herd Sires, Luminosity or The Wiseman, to any one of your females. The choice is yours!

Details
Grand River released the information that DARK SHADDOW has been retired. We have loved this male from the 1st time we seen him and have been very happy with his offspring we have seen. Although we are saddened by this news we are happy to have purchased The Wiseman from Grand River. We feel certain he will carry on the excellence of the DARK SHADDOW line.
Wiseman is exactly what we were looking for in a Jr. Herdsire. Beautiful dense crimpy fleece with a nice soft handle. Excellent bloodlines with his sire Dark Shaddow who was the 2006 Reserve Herdsire of the Year. His dam is Sweet Magnolia who placed 2nd in a class of 14 behind the color champion in her only show.
Wiseman's fleece has exceptional density and staple length with a high frequency crimp. It is as bright as any black I have ever seen. His first histogram was an incredible 17.9 and his third fleece was still under 21 this is not often seen in true blacks. Wiseman's conformation is flawless with big bone, straight top line, with stick straight legs.
Wiseman has matured into a very impressive male. He has a very gentle personality and is an excellent breeder. If you like Dark Shaddow and want to add his blood lines to your herd this is a way to do so at a very reasonable fee. Wiseman keeps getting better with age and we expect him to produce some very good show quality cria for us!
