PBR Artesian Macchiato (Appaloosa/harlequin)

CONGRATULATIONS to BREITFELD ALPAKAS on their purchase of Rare Gem Whole Latte Love. He leaves for quarantine in Oregon in March and then off to Canada to establish residency. He will be flown to Europe to his new home in Switzerland thereafter. I'm sure he will add new genetics to their ranch and can't wait to see what he produces. ************************************************************************************************************************** Born as a calico harlequin/appaloosa, Rare Gem Whole Latte Love, has grayed out and become a gorgeous, handsome stud. With perfect conformation and coverage from head to toe on a solid and robust frame, Rare Gem Whole Latte Love is a phenotypically flawless herd sire. He is the unique blending of the Aussie Rockford and Polaris (A Hemingway son), lines with a dense and long staple length. At 18 months he settled his first girl who gave birth to one of the curliest babies I've ever seen!!! The second baby, a male, PBR Clover, an appaloosa (sold) and now to add to his accomplishments, a 2022 female, PBR Charming Cappuccino (sold), was born. Latte wasn't finished yet, as another 2022 breeding gave us a gorgeous harlequin female, PBR Sensational Demitasse. 2022 blessed us again with a gorgeous harlequin appaloosa male, PBR Artesian Macchiato (sold), the last of Latte's offspring in the United States as he has been exported to his new home in Switzerland. Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia, Latte's sire, is a striking appaloosa harlequin male whose heritage boasts appaloosa genetics on both sides of his lineage with Aussie Rockford out of Hannahruh on his sire's side and Chiquita Import on his dam's side. Latte's dam, Bright Water Ranch's Espresso, was a lovely Bay Black female. (We lost her to unknown causes). She was the daughter of VF Yahoo too, a very successful male in the alpaca industry and BMR Sienna, a daughter of Polaris). Espresso had a beautiful bright fleece with excellent crimp, and she displayed a perfect phenotype. Her bloodlines included recognizable names such as Peruvian Hemingway, Polaris, Peruvian Felix and Snowmass Snowmaster's Shiraz and she, herself, was in the top 25% for crimp.
