The Khantender Optimo is loaded with crimp from head to toe. He has crimp between his ears, on his tail, neck, and even down to his knees on all legs, where the quality of the fleece only then begins to wane. He has a bright and shiny fleece that will light a twinkle in your eye. He has a superb balance of fineness and density. He is a cross between the lines of Caligula and Shere Khan. Great sires in his background such as: Caligula, Vengador, Oro, El Senor, Allin Capac, and The Aga Khan. His dam is a half sibling to Simba of A.L.Pacas. The Aga Khan, a White Halter 11-Time Color Champion, represents the concentrated genetics of the truly legendary Shere Khan through two American male offspring - Vengador and Allin Capac 6004. Some comments about Khantender attributed to Jude Anderson, Judge at PAOBA 2006..."excellent package of fineness and correctness coupled with conformation"...."well covered"..."dense from head to toe".. Khantender has a medium brown spot on the left side of his blanket, just under 3 inches in diameter, which we refer to as his little 'humble spot'. Although keeping him from winning higher achievments in the showring in a white class, his colored class, he has been throwing color the majority of the time. As of July 2010, he has thrown (1) Light Fawn cria, (4) Med/Dark Fawn crias, (1) Medium Brown cria, (1) Dark Brown cria, (3) White crias, and (2) Brown/White Multicolored crias. We are looking for special 1/2 interest partners to share this male. Khantender's crias are beginning to take ribbons in the shows. See offspring ribbons below.

Marshmellow has a beautiful head, great bite, very little guard hair, and her fleece is very fine and dense. Breed Marshmellow to a dense male with abundant leg coverage and you will have a shot at great success. We did just that, Marshmellow was bred to The Khantender Optimo for spring of 2010, who possesses great coverage everywhere of stylish, fine and dense crimpy fleece. Marshmellow’s genetics are definitely quality. Her sire is NWA, LTD Accoyo Legend, a white full Accoyo male by Ppperuvian Legend and out of Ppperuvian Angelica. Mike Safley utilized Legend who was given very high ratings at the time of importation. Legend’s dam, Angelica scored 9 of 10 with 19.6 micons and a double-plus density rating. Marshmellow’s grandsire is The Portland Kidd, sired by Leon, and known to produce ultra-fine and dense CHAMPION offspring. The Portland Kidd has sired countless quality offspring and well known herdsires to include Mr. Pennsylvania, ScF Chewbacca, and RA Buckskin. These males will surely spawn quality sires of their own. Chewbacca is a MULTIPLE CHAMPIONSHIP winner owned by Silvercloud with a 15.1 AFD and 76 follicles per SQ MM and an S/P of 16.8 to 1, which typifies the fineness and density of the Kidd’s offspring. RA Buckskin is also a MULTIPLE CHAMPIONSHIP winner owned by Alpacaholic Acres who undoubtedly will be making favorable contributions to future generations of alpacas. Marshmellow birthed a solid white crimp-laden female cria on May 20, 2010 sired by The Khantender Optimo, who we've been calling Bellari. This new cria's sire, The Khantender Optimo boasts well-known genetics himself and did quite well for us in the white full fleece halter showring with limited exposure and a spot in the blanket. Marshmellow had a female cria to our Augusto's Peruvian Austin, who we named Markita. Markita is white and shows a promising quality fleece with amazing high-quality coverage. Marshmellow will be exposed to LAAF Spartacus (Vic Jr's Hemiaccoyo Paladin X LA Balamani) for a 2017 cria.
