Update*
FOUR of Bravado's five entered offspring in the 2007 Celebrity
World Futurity placed in THE TOP 10! His Get of Sire entry
was the only non suri get to place in the top 10 of the
Celebrity World Futurity. At the Grand Slam show the same
weekend his offspring earned 8 FIRST PLACE WINS and 3
GRANDS AND 8 RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIPS. His Get of Sire entry
in the Grand Slam show was one of the most consistant
Hightest winning groups, capturing TWO Reserve Championships
and one top 3!
The above photos of Bravado
were taken, from left to right, 2002 GN Grand Champion;
January 2003; September 2003 - Grand Champion Lamafest.
Bravado is an incredible male. Not only did he command
attention during his showring days, but he still does
today. He looks for my attention and affection every single
day. He knows he is special and is truly a gentle spirit.
Words cannot express his meaning to me. He captured many
show wins and earned the prestigious title of Grand National
Grand Champion Heavy Wool male at the 2002 Grand National
llama show. He is an ALSA Halter Champion (20 times) and
also an ALSA Get Of Sire Champion with his first get entries
being shown in 2004. He has also earned his Register Of
Merit award in both categories as well. His book was closed
to outside females for several years, and in late 2006
we decided to selectively offer outside breeding's to
Bravado. Generally we have for sale some beautiful award
winning offspring sired by him. His young are making a
strong impact in the showring. Five of his get were shown
at the 2004 Grand Nationals and all five placed in the
top ten, with one winning his class, and Bravado's get
of sire entry finished 7th out of 18 groups. Bravado kids
made a sweep at the 2005 Grand Nationals as well with
at least 6 of is offspring that showed in the top of their
classes. At the 2006 Grand Nationals his kids earned SIX
Class Champion wins along with TWO Division Championships!
Along with that his get were awarded Reserve Champion
in the Get of Sire class! He is proving himself time and
again in how he is stamping his Champion cria.

~ Multiple Best of Show Champion Sire
The above
photos, L to R, show Status Symbol as a long juvenile,
2 year old, and adult in May of 2008 after winning Double
Grand Champion and Reserve Best of Show! This guy caught
our eye when he made a sweep at our 2005 Millennium Magic
show and Breeder's Futurity! Then I seen him again at
the Hard Rock's Gold Rush Futurity where he placed 2nd.
Since the first time I laid eyes on her, I was drwn to
his Dam and have been very impressed with many of her
offspring. His sire, Georgio, has proven his abilities
as a great sire. We appreciate Status Symbol's disposition,
size, correctness, bone, fiber and coloring that he offers
as a breeding male in our llama program. Status
Symbol placed 2nd at Regionals and top 4 at the 05 Grand
Nationals! His only trip there to both. In 2006, he was
triple Grand and Best Of Show at the ILE show! He won
the Millennium Magic Breeder's Futurity! Status Symbol
won the competitive Lamafest Llama Futurity and was named
Grand Champion Suri Male of the futurity! Status Symbol
is 3rd generation suri and his first "kids"
arrived spring 2007: 4 girls, 1 boy, they are shown below.
2008
June Update
TWO Status offspring have
hit the Show Ring! With only two outings, they have captured
an impressive: THREE
Grand's, FOUR Reserve's, TWO BEST OF SHOW, TWELVE firsts
and Two second place wins and they were both in the TOP
of their class at the CELEBRITY WORLD FUTURITY in April!
2009 UPDATE AS A SIRE: 10/20/09, Status
Symbol has sired 14 females and 6 male offspring, with
10 being suri. Of Status Symbol's first 8 offspring to
show, Two have been Celebrity World Futurity Res. Class
Champions, 4 have been LFA World Futurity CLASS CHAMPIONS!
Those 8 have won a combined 48 Championships - WOW!! To
say that Status Symbol has exceeded our expectations as
a Herdsire would be an understatement. Want
to make a sound financial investment? Invest in an ILR
Incentive Fund Enrolled offspring of Status Symbol or
breed to him and criate one for yourself! Check it out!
Some of his kids are shown below:

My, oh my Bridgette has cranked out another great one! A
stout tri colored suri male! If you have come to enjoy the
uniqueness of the Bridgette offspring, this guy will not
disappoint you! He is a full brother to the incomparable,
Reserve Champion Celebrity World Futurity, Grand Champion
LFA World Futurity: LUA
Wyoming Status who turned heads at each outing. This
means he is also a paternal brother to all of the other
INCREDIBLE Status Symbol kids you have seen in the Show
Ring! Above Photos taken on 2/12/10. 2010
UPDATE ~ StarShine hit the show ring running and
won his class and
was named Grand Champion Suri Male his first time out,
at the Fairfield County ILR Llama Show! This guy is AMAZINGLY
SPECIAL! StarShine won his class the next three shows and
was pinned Reserve Champion Suri male both times! GUESS
WHAT? He is a N A T U R A L for performance!
In his first class he placed 3rd in Novice Pack!
StarShine was just Grand Champion Suri Male at
the ORVLA Summer Solstice Show! He
is enrolled into the ILR IF! I just returned home from the
2010 Ohio State Fair where StarShine was the Grand Champion
Suri Male, over some tough, deep, strong competition! On
top of that he was named Reserve Champion in Novice Performance!!
WOW
He is now a finished Halter Champion at a wee 9 months of
age! He is amazingly special!!
StarShine did it again, he was Grand Champion at the Indiana
State Fair in Halter and he won two firsts and one 2nd in
the Novice performance classes there too! He is a natural
in performance and he is soooo much fun!!
2011
UPDATE StarShine
won his class under both judges at the Celebration Classic
and he also won two more Grands and two more Reserve Championships!
He also finished 4th in the Celebration World Futurity!
StarShine
won his class and was Reserve Champion his second time out
at the Fairfield Co. ILR-SD Llama Show!
3rd show of the season, The Mountaineer Llama Show in WV,
StarShine
again
won his class and he was named Grand Champion Suri Male!
He was also top 3 Performance Champion, I believe. He won
the obstacle class and placed 3rd in both PR & Pack
class! This
past weekend at the Eastern Ohio Llama Show, StarShine again
won his class and was named Grand Champion, and he was also
the Performance Grand Champion!
This is one talented male!

Grand National Reserve Champion Medium Wool Male
I just cannot say enough about this guy ~ I could fill up
this page with accomplishments earned by him as well as
what he offers in today's market as both a top show animal
and breeding male. We have sold half interest in him to
the De Boom family of Iowa and both of us look forward to
Deja Vu's future in the show ring and the breeding pen.
Llamas like him are not born every day or year for that
matter, and we surely have been gratefully blessed by his
many achievements! Just about every time he stepped into
the ring, he came out with the blue. He is a great showmanship
partner and does well in performance too! *Update*
BIG SPLASH BADABING BASH!! He
was the slam dunk first pace winner with
all of the judges at the quad Grand Slam llama show and
also earned Two Grands and Two Reserve Championships in
the MWM division! He then went on to place 2nd in the Celebrity
World Futurity and was part of dad's get of sire group in
the same World Futurity that earned another top 10 placement!
Deja Vu is now a 31 time Champion! Our
final show together, LFA 2007,
Deja Vu did not let me down, this incredible, talented,
trusting guy won the very challenging LFA Jackpot Obstacle
class! |
