KBAR'S Emanon

Bakwene – his name suits him perfectly, meaning Smokey Grey in Ojibwe. When he was first born, Bakwene appeared to be a medium brown boy with just a faint touch of grey around his mouth, tail, and toes—so subtle you had to look closely to see it. But a few weeks later, during his early halter training, we took another good look at his fibre and discovered something incredible: a gorgeous smokey grey, just a shade lighter than his mom, Kit Kat. To our delight, Bakwene became our very first modern grey! As a cria, Bakwene was shy and preferred to stay close to his mom whenever people were around. Since being weaned, however, he has blossomed into a calm, curious alpaca who enjoys visits and is easy to handle. Bakwene began his breeding career in the summer of 2023. His very first offspring included: Emanon, a dark brown male out of bay black Kameo. Truly Scrumptious, a bay black female out of true black Truly Cute. By 2025, Bakwene had an outstanding year as a sire, producing two striking modern silver grey males— Wee Kat and Wee Scotch. Once they are sheared in the spring, their stunning grey fibre will be on full display. He also sired Daisy, a dark rose grey female, and another beautiful dark brown female Truly Maleficent from Truly Cute. Bakwene has truly lived up to his name, carrying on the smokey grey legacy in the most beautiful way. We can't wait to see what his 2026 crias are like, he bred a medium fawn - Butterscotch, a silver grey - Princess Sara, and a white - Meringue.
