Breaking news:
Arequipa King
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of this stunning brown suri male imported from Peru after taking out second place at the 2000 Arequipa National Show judged by Dr Julio Sumar, the world renowned judge and suri expert. At 7 years of age he still carried a 21 micron fleece (US measurements) with great locking and lustre.
"The King" (as he has always been known as), was a gentle male and a pleasure to work with. He seemed to be aware that he was named "The King", as he acted like he was in charge and surveyed the world as though he owned it!
His progeny are impressive and well known in the show ring but his "grandchildren" even more so, as this is where there is an amazing step up in quality. One of his grand daughters last year won Adult Female Champion at the 2009 National Show. The King's progeny are popular and sell well, and there are many alpaca breeders who are very glad to have retained some of his progeny to carry on his genetics and presence.
This stunning male survived the rigours of quarantines and a long flight half way around the world and has lived a very productive life. His contribution to the Australian coloured suri herd has been invaluable and his ancestors will go on to be proof of this. Those of us who have had the privilege to own a share in the King will remember him with great fondness as a perfect gentleman.
RIP The King

Canberra Royal 2009
Due to poor shearing planning, Qozqo disappointingly had no huacaya animals ready for showing at the Canberra Royal. The two suri entries did well earning a first in Int Female Grey/roan suri with our beautiful Qozqo Marissa who has drawn so much attention at all the shows and a second place for Qozqo Madison in the Senior Male fawn suri class. The BIG lesson learned is to ensure our shearing dates cater for the shows in 2010.
2008 Charles Ledger Show- Camden
Qozqo continued its success with grey suri females taking out a blue ribbon for Marissa and red for Chantelle who was ready for shearing. These two outstanding grey suri have excelled with a total of 7 blue ribbons and 2 reds between them over the last year.
