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.
