Syke House Piaso
Piaso is the blackest of alpacas and, since we purchased her in 2004, she has exceeded our expectations. Exhibiting correct conformation with excellent bone, she stamps her superb head style onto every cria. Piaso carries a very dense fleece without colour contamination. She demonstrates a high level of consistency, having produced three Champion black's in a row and her fourth cria, Promise, does not disappoint.

Chalford Petra
Petra is a stunning black female. We believe she is the most successful black female this country has seen, consistently winning 1st prizes every year since she was born.
Shown only five times over two seasons, she was awarded Black Female Champion three times, had four firsts and a second. At six years of age her fleece is very fine at 20 microns and she is still winning senior black fleece classes and beating the males!
She is producing a black cria every year and we are delighted with them.

Chalford Cara
A dark fawn female from fawn bloodlines she should not really be on this page. However she is our only fawn and well worth a mention.

Chalford Black Jack
Jack did not look promising as a cria, all bent out of shape and needing a bottle for a couple of weeks. However, he has grown up to be very useful. Only shown three times, he won all his classes and helped us gain the Small Breeders Award at the 2008 British Alpaca Futurity. He is now co-owned as a stud male. A very well balanced, stylish male with truly excellent conformation and a dense, crimpy soft handling fleece.
Jack is a real character and works with great enthusiasm but hated being examined at shows!
