Accoyo Sunflower Girl embodies the trusted genetics of well known Accoyos & adds the proven yet uncommon genetics of rare Accoyo lineages. The result of such a pairing is this young, beautiful little girl, Sunflower, who just drips with potential and possiblity.
Sunflower's dam is Accoyo Mayflower, a Caligula & Vengador grandaughter. Mayflower's dam, Safflower, was purchased at Pacific Crest's Parade of Champions auction in 2003 & went back to Accoyos of America to be bred. Greg Mecklem recommended Vengador's Robinson Crusoe, & the result was Accoyo Mayflower, Sunflower's dam. Mayflower has extraordinarily dense, crimpy fine fleece. She is a beautiful alpaca with the elite fleece characteristics that high quality & well bred Accoyos are known for.
Accoyo Pinachi adds the proven, yet rare Accoyo genetics to Sunflower's pedigree. Pinachi was one of the best alpacas to come from one of the last imports from Peru in 1998. He was personally selected for Derwydd Alpacas by Julio Sumar. Pinachi's fleece was super dense, bundled and crimpy with a high sheen. Pinachi stamped these elite fleece characteristics onto his cria as proven with the show records of his offspring. Derwydd Alpacas reported that "the fiber on his cria is to die for". Pinachi died in 2007 from pneumonia, & with only 38 cria on the ground, his incredible genetics are very rare, very sought after, & can no longer be reproduced. Accoyo Sunflower girl was the very last cria sired by Pinachi.
Sunflower will be ready to breed in the summer of 2010, & there is no doubt that we will choose our 8X champion Accoyo Invasion for her. Invasion is one of the best ribboned, colored full Accoyos in the country & with the birth of his first set of cria this past year, it is evident that he is passing on his highly desirable crimp, density, fineness and coverage to his cria. Invasion will add Royal Fawn & Avenger genetics to Sunflower's already impressive pedigree.
