Graehawke stands a solid 46" and weighed too much (377 lb) when she arrived here in October 2006; she’s slimmed down considerably and has shown herself to be a good athlete. She’s not the kind of llama who seeks out interaction with humans, so she’s more suited to Jim ... but that doesn’t mean she considers him to be “hers”.
Graehawke has an exceptionally nice Classic coat — the “old kind” with an undercoat that grooms out almost entirely with a slicker brush. That’s just the icing on a strong and straight body; level head most definitely included.
We had long wanted a Gold’n Hawk daughter with Gold’n Hawk’s excellent classic coat, logically-inclined nature, and stupendously heavy muscling and bone along with the other physical, temperamental, and genetic traits that we insist each of our breeding animals embody. Graehawke fits our desires to a “T” ... a dream come true! Like all dreams of all llama breeders, something went wrong. Graehawke has been bred to two proven studs several times and although testing pregnant, has produced nothing. We have decided not to pursue the cause in this case (our past experiences with numerous other llamas that had similar reproductive problems yielded no successful outcomes despite significant financial outlay from us).
Graehawke has been shown once and not only did very well in the placings, but once again proved her disposition has the steadiness and sensibility so valuable in a working llama. She will make someone an excellent trail companion.
Graehawke’s name reflects both her color (grey-brown, or dun) and her sire (Gold'n Hawk, who goes by “Hawk”).
