Purl (Talon's Purl of Island Alpaca)

Purl is one to watch! With her tremendously fine, bright fleece and quality conformation, we look forward to watching her grow! 

With the strong background of her Dam Margeaux's genetics, in addition to her sire Talon's substantial bone and excellent conformation we can only predict that she will be one fabulous alpaca. Her sire is a proud, erect male with just beautiful lines to him--a trait that we can already see in little Purl.  Talon is the picture perfect grey with a spot-free blanket, and Purl, a tuxedo patterned grey, is also spot free.

Judge commented on her fleece from Alpacapalooza 2013: "Minimal amount of fleece lost in production. Nice brightness!"

ARI#: 30321649 Light Silver Grey Full Chilean

At the 2007 GWAS Judge Amanda Vandenbosch commented on Talons well-balanced body style. She was impressed with his staple length soft hand tremendous density and his architectural style all through out!

Judge Wade Gease who placed him third (A.L Paca's Revolution an 11 time Champ took first) said in his comments that the three top animals were virtually equal, and that he actually prefered Talon's fleece style. Talon's tight crimp does extend throughout the entire staple.

Judge Kristen Buhrman commented on his overall balance, and again, his amazing crimp. His fiber is exhibiting high amplitude narrow crimp, very evenly distributed from topknot to legs, something every judge has commented on. He has rock solid grey genetics, a total of twelve grey's on his ARI.Talon has placed very well at every show he's entered, both in Colorado, and now here in the East Coast shows as well.

Talon is a male with substantial bone and excellent conformation. He is a proud erect male with just beautiful lines to him, and is the picture perfect grey with a SPOT FREE blanket (only a few dark spots on his left side and that's it!) His fiber exhibits high amplitude, narrow crimp, very evenly distributed from topknot to legs, something every judge has commented on!!

At the 2007 GWAS where he placed 2nd behind Mile High Deacon Grey (Futurity Champ), Judge Amanda Vandenbosch commented on his well balanced body style. She was impressed with his staple length, soft hand, tremendous density and his architectural style all throughout!

Judge Wade Gease, who placed him third (A.L Paca's Revolution, an 11 time Champ took first) said in his comments that the three top animals were virtually equal, and that he actually prefered Talon's fleece style. Talon's tight crimp does extend through out the whole staple.

Judge Kristen Buhrman commented on his overall balance, and again, his amazing crimp. 
Add to his super conformation and awesome fleece the absolute BEST disposition!! These traits certainly seem to have passed on to Luna's lovely first cria. 
Please view his impressive cross-country history!
