The paternal line of Patagonia's Neruda and Patagonia's El Chono brought this handsome, studly guy to our barn, seemingly to run the place. Called "He Dog" here, he's pretty sure he's in charge of all females in range and has been showing an interest in breeding at a very early age. Full leg and topknot coverage, blue ribbon winning fleece and conformation, and that attitude of expecting to win many more ribbons combine to make him a really unique package with strong genetics to back him up. All at a very reasonable price. We would like to take advantage of his fineness and dense, crimpy fleece by maintaining limited breeding rights to him in the future.

To consistantly produce alpacas like Takhi has been the goal of our program. Quiet, conformationally beautiful and with dense, very long and very crimpy fleece she represents what we hope for. Her sheering weight was the highest of our females and her briteness and character always draw compliments. Shown only twice, she earned only disappointing ribbons due to her "overconditioned" appearance. Her fleece did draw very nice compliments and a recommendation to breed her from the judge, but her conditioning evaluation was at odds with a body score of "3" given by 2 very experienced camelid veterinarians. We can only guess that her staple length and density lead to a deceivingly barrel like appearance. The purchase price includes her maiden breeding to QR Principio's Grand Slam, currently at Quarry Ridge Alpacas.
