Doulton had a rough start. He was a bit malnourished when we first got him due to a heavy load of parasites. After his first year, his health improved and he has grown into a handsome stud. Doulton descends from such Accoyo greats as Vengador, Camilio & Royal Fawn. His excellent bite and conformation and commanding presence complement his mild temperment and dense, crimpy, bright fleece. His fleece is exceptionally fine, 15.6 MICRONS! His crimp extends from skin to tip in very high frequency and his staple has very advanced bundling. Check out his stats. *** His fleece was shown to Cameron Holt, THE famous fiber expert, at a fiber seminar. He was impressed with its amazing staple (bundling), high frequency crimp, and exceptional fineness. He called the fiber "just beautiful."***Just after the 2009 Northeast Alpaca Expo, Doulton was evaluated by Mike Safely who said he was a beautiful animal of herdsire quality. He also said less than one out of one hundred males should even be used as a herdsire. We are so pleased with his comments as well as the judge's, Amanda Vandenbosch, praises at the show! It's nice to know we are not barn blind!!!***Doulton continues to consistently place above other animals, with much higher breeding fees, at major shows. Recently, he easily took first above a Zephyrus son and Hemingway offspring in a 2yr+ class although he was the "old man" of the group, which shows he is maintaining his top notch characteristics as he ages. ***Doulton's first crop of cria has arrived and they are truly amazing! His breeding fee is the best value you can find for a nearly full Accoyo male. Come see what he produces. --Poor Doulton had a severe accident. The doc surmised that his foot was stuck in mud while another animal ran into him. His femur was shattered, broken in 5 places. After a long operation and period of recuperation, he's back to normal and breeding again. Check out his progeny and see the faith we have in him. Doulton is aging well and his fiber is still beautiful, crimpy, and soft! Doulton is currently living out his golden years with his lifelong buddy, Antares.

Snowflake is a half Accoyo amazing Caligula daughter. At nineteen she still has very soft, dense fiber and is a great mom. This is one alpha female that doesn't act or look her age. She has produced exceptional offspring including the famous Grand Alero, Ice, our Venus, who has won multiple blue ribbons and a reserve championship, and Snowfire, who has already won a blue while just beginning his show career. Snow had a 3/4 Accoyo girl on 8/25/11. Her daughter, Athena, is amazing! Another girl in 2012- that's three out of four that are female since we've owned her. Emily Marie has grown into a beauty. After having surgery to remove a cancerous growth on her toe, I'm guessing she also had some internal cancer that caused her to lose a lot of weight. We felt it was best to put her down before the winter, as she would only lose more weight and die a painful death. We have her lovely offspring, Snowfire, Athena, and Emily Marie to keep her memory alive.
