Taupie is a striking appaloosa harlequin male that is on a roll for throwing spotted and harlequin offspring. He has sired 53 offspring and 74% are either appaloosa or harlequin! While dam selection has a significant influence on such outcomes, it should be noted that the majority of the dams Taupie has been bred to have no genetic influence on this outcome. So for those that don't have existing foundation girls with appy/harlequin lineage -- Taupie has proven to be capable of passing along his appy genetics and produce desired results. So how does this happen? Only part of that story is known, but what we DO know is that certain lines of known appy gene carriers are much more "expressive" than others. Taupie just happens to be one of those. His heritage boasts appaloosa genetics on both sides of his lineage with Aussie Rockford out of Hannahruh on his sire's side and Chiquita Import on his dam's side. In April 2016, Taupie's progeny debuted in the show ring taking a blue in walking fleece and the blue in halter at the California Classic. This was Enchanted Hill LuTau, who is a beautiful stud himself! This first boy was then followed by another appaloosa female and then another appy male-- both very similar to the first. The fourth cria, however, is something extra special! This little girl has expressed every color on the chart, not one pattern-- just speckles and spots from nose to toes-- Rare Gem U-Taupe-ia's Appletini! The unique coloring of this cria looks as though the color from Taupie's Grand Dam, Chiquita Import, is coming through and producing the rarest of rare gems-- her beautiful color seems to morph before your eyes! As much fun as it is to talk about Taupie's progeny... more about him! Taupie has a spotted face, spotted belly, spotted legs, and a beautiful solid platinum-taupe blanket. His top line is a nice medium silver grey, then blending into light silver grey down the sides. Other crias include: Appsolutely Adorable DVAF Fancy Pants Maverick Plumb Creek's Honey Dijon Rose Rare Gem in the SPOT Light Rare Gem Lady London Rare Gem Medicine Man Take a look at all of them!

CONGRATULATIONS to Caryl and Sam on their purchase of Bisturi's Periwinkle. She has been a premier foundation breeder here at Plateau Breeze Ranch and has given us some gorgeous appaloosa/harlequins. She will stay close to us here in California but will be missed. ************************************************************************************************************************** Another coveted daughter of an incredible black female, Hvla Poppy, Bisturi's Periwinkle has a beautiful Dark rose grey fleece and Vicuna pattern and a unique phenotype. Her fiber has an excellent crimp. She is a great foundation dam and a stellar breeder. She never has a problem getting pregnant, holding her pregnancies, delivers large 20lb plus babies, has tons of milk and is the most attentive of moms. Periwinkle threw a harlequin/appaloosa in 2018, Rare Gem Heart Kandi (check out her page) when bred to harlequin/appaloosa herdsire, Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia. The following year she impressively threw another wildly-spotted, rare and classic appaloosa/harlequin (PBR Gentlemen's Fascination (see her page!) out of Apache Gentlemen. Then once again, in 2020, we paired her up with Apache Gentlemen, and she threw another gorgeous harlequin/appaloosa, PBR Apache's Spark's Fly. That's 3 for 3 when bred for appaloosa/harlequin. Her sire is Bisturi, one of the most consistent producers of grey and black offspring and is considered a legendary herdsire. Bisturi moved to Austria in 2013 and, at 12 years old, has a fabulous, uniformly grey-coloured fleece. He has an impressive pedigree. Of over 100 offspring, 55 greys and 25 black animals are on the ground. Bisturi is a fabulous stallion with numerous victories on which he has proven his uniqueness.

At Plateau Breeze Ranch, we celebrate the unexpected—the rare genetic treasures that emerge and redefine excellence. PBR Divine Embraced by the Light, affectionately known as Brace, is exactly that—a stunning appaloosa male whose arrival was nothing short of a revelation. With a striking white beard and ankle striping, he carries the rare markings that make him stand out while embodying the strength, presence, and fleece quality of his renowned lineage. Brace’s bloodlines read like a hall of fame roster. As the son of R Creek’s Divine World, an elite offspring of Snowmass Divine Love, he holds the same macho stance, exceptional fleece structure, and undeniable confidence that made his grandsire legendary. On his sire’s side, his genetics include Legacy, Augusto, Bueno, Hemingway, and Caligula—powerhouse names that guarantee longevity, quality, and fleece fineness. But Brace’s pedigree doesn’t stop there. His dam, Cacao Chanel of PBR, was a chocolate-brown beauty with a sweet temperament, her color tracing back to Skywalker by Poseidon of FDA. A proven producer, she contributed an elite phenotype, fine fleece with deep crimp, and the ability to throw rare appaloosa traits—traits that Brace proudly wears. With each passing day, Brace continues to impress and evolve, his dark, crimpy fleece taking shape in a way that reflects both his elite lineage and his future potential as a stud. A true testament to genetic excellence, he is destined to leave his mark—whether in the show ring or as a game-changing addition to a breeding program. At Plateau Breeze Ranch, we believe in heritage, refinement, and the thrill of discovering greatness—and Brace embodies every bit of that promise. He is the kind of alpaca that makes breeding exciting, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to watch his journey unfold.
