THIS GUY IS SO COOL! WAHOO! from MaRS is everything you could want when adding appaloosa genetics to your herd. There's no compromising quality with this guy! INCREDIBLE CHARACTER TO HIS FLEECE EXCEPTIONAL STAPLE LENGTH EXTREME FINENESS UNIFORMITY Check out his fiber stats, they certainly don't disappoint! 22 Progeny to date, 68% are spotted! Wahoo's offspring are claiming ribbons in the show ring and in the fleece shows. He's throwing spots without compromising quality of the fleece, and he's adding to the uniformity! Rare Appaloosa Genetics! Wahoo's dam is the closest appaloosa descendant to LF Del a Burl, the handsome appaloosa male that was exported to Germany. With his departure, these genetics were limited to just two females in the United States-- one of which is MaRS Dixie-- Wahoo's dam. Dixie is the only appaloosa descendant of daughter from LF del A Burl in the U.S. In Germany, Burl went on to produce 50+ cria, the majority of which are appaloosa and/or patterned. We are limiting the number of outside breedings to Wahoo. We have several females that are currently bred to him that are available or will be in the near future.

Rock solid foundation female! FLEECE QUALITIES Brightness Consistency of Crimp Density Fineness Excellent Staple Length Incredible Coverage CONFORMATION Heavy Bone Well Balanced Frame Correct Bite Awesome Proven Dam! An absolute no brainer for a foundation herd. No issues, easy breeder. Healthy, strong crias! Throws Appaloosas when bred to Appaloosa! Bred to Wahoo from MaRS five times, and produced spots 4 times. We've repeated this combo over and over again for good reason! We are switching it up for 2026, still breeding for spots, but this time Ruza has been bred to Dixie's All That Jazz! Current cria at side not included. Cria will need to be weaned in January 2026 before Ruza can go to her new home. Ruza also has an award winning white son, Aniak! Just an awesome foundation female.

Description

A big thanks to Mark and Rebecca Suryan, for letting Alpaca Rainbow Ranch purchase this little man. We are so pleased with our purchase of Chinook, and he made his debut in the CABA 2023 show. Chinook is the offspring of Wahoo (herdsire) and Ruza (dam), has a gorgeous fleece and just look at those spots. We will be using him as a herdsire for the first time this spring, setting up his dates and then the long wait to see the outcoming. Just look at that crimp and all those spots, and his handle is exceptional.
