Mile High Emilianna

The name "Pica Flor" is spanish for hummingbird.

Pica Flor is a midnight beauty and one of the backbones of our dark-colored program. She has a typey build and true Peruvian head with an intelligent eye. Pica has proven herself to be more than just a foundation female. She is of such high caliber that even when experimenting with lighter colored genetics we were guaranteed a high quality offspring. When bred to colored males Pica Flor has unfailingly produced dark colored crias ranging from chocolate to ebony. But beyond going dark, she goes first class. She has combined quality with dark genetics and delivered us champions such as Mile High Ave Maria and Mile High Midnight Rhapsody.

And when we did push the envelope and bred her to our fawn herdsire Mile High Peerless Bay we received Mile High Evita, a light fawn female that could hold her own against the whites. We were so pleased with Evita that we decided to experiment once more. We bred Pica to our highest award winning fawn herdsire, Mile High Peruvian Tahona. As a 3-time color champion, and 11-time blue ribbon winner the designation “Elite” is stamped on this male. He has the characteristics that will assist Pica in producing a beautiful cria. This cria will be due in September 2013. If it’s fawn it will be a knockout, if it’s black it will be something sensational.

This female is a needed addition to any dark-colored program. Pica Flor is not just a consistent producer of dark offspring, but is a bearer of true colored champions. Her reservoir of quality acts as a fail-safe for those breedings that push the envelope in trying to mix the best of fiber genetics with dark coloring. And with the cria she carries, she is the black gold among dark alpacas.
