Stunning RARE Harlequin Bloodline

PSF Delilah

Willow Wind purchased PSF Delilah from Howling Hill Farm in NH. And do we feel LUCKY!
Harlequin has become our passion along with grey... mostly because harlequin's have the unique ability to express solid grey from tip to toe!
Delilah hails from one of the best -- and most consistent -- harlequin appaloosa bloodlines in the Huacaya alpaca gene pool: the Amy Carter line. Amy Carter was the only breeding offspring of a Chilean import dam, and she is truly an impact female in the harlequin appaloosa Huacaya landscape. Her bloodline is notable not only because of its overall outstanding quality, but because of its prepotency for the harlequin appaloosa phenotype itself. Whereas many harlequin appaloosa lines tend to be "sneaky" -- the gene remaining hidden in the background for generations -- Amy Carter's descendents have a strong tendency to breed true for harlequin appaloosa.

There is so much about this girl that is just fantastic. She is ideal in her proportions, with a compact, square frame, great bone. She exhibits beautiful breed type: great head, great coverage, full topknot. She is an easy keeper, easy to work with, and calm around humans.

Delilah's fleece, though, is what sets her apart. She has great density and excellent crimp. She is non-hairy, with good uniformity for her age, as well as a decent staple length. This is a fleece that has enormous potential when paired with the correct sire.
