Honey Maple's Ray of Sunshine

CONGRATULATIONS to Todd and Holly Jacobs on your purchase of Sunshine at the Eastern Alpaca Jamboree!! She is a beauty, and I can't wait to see what she produces for you ....in grey!!

This little cutie was quite a color surprise! Both Stormy and Chief have grey genetics in their pedigrees (WRSR Mercury Rising's Marauder and GLR Kolaqua) and we were really hoping to pull that out with this pairing. BUT...Stormy's genes are strong and she produced another copy of herself!! Sunshine does appear to have grey skin, so time will tell... We are excited to have a female this time around and she is adorable!

Ray of Sunshine is just that... a spunky little girl who just loves to run and play! She is petite, but growing fast and her fleece is locking up nicely. She has a beautiful stance with nice conformation and she is VERY curious. We will be watching her with great interest as she grows!

**September UPDATE**
Now that little miss Sunshine is 2 months old, we are seeing the changes in her fleece color. Her neck is grey near the skin and her blanket is looking like it will be light rose grey at this point. She definitely has grey skin and it will be fun to watch and see what color she decides to be in the coming year or so!

*FEB 2023*
Sunshine is officially rose grey!! When color checked at the Carolina Shows, she matched the light rose grey color card EXACTLY! They were so surprised...no guessing on her color at all!! This adorable girl went on to win 2 blue ribbons. The judges really liked her overall conformation, luster, handle and staple length!
