Congratulations and thank you to Brian Smith & Valerie Reiser, of Plum Creek Alpacas, for their purchase of Patagonia's Chief! PATAGONIA'S CHIEF Patagonia’s Chief, a true black top-sire on our ranch. Not only is he a champion, Chief is a proven Champion producer as well. He adds lots of density and staple length to his progeny, not to mention fineness, handsome typey head, and substance of bone. Chief's crias so far have had beautiful structure and uniformity, retained fineness, and consistency within their fiber. Depending upon the color of the dam, he has produced true black, bay black, silver grey, rose grey, brown & fawn offspring. Patagonia’s Chief is the son of of the legendary Patagonia's Lennox, who has countless ribbons, and is a 14x Get of Sire winner, including 3 Get-of-Sire Blue Ribbons! (Not to mention, he’s also the sire of Ernesto, our 7-time champion and Judge’s Choice ACE stud!) Chief's paternal grandsire is Danko 532, a multiple award-winning Grey champion stud from Alpacas de la Patagonia who is well-known in the alpaca world for throwing champions of all colors, especially grey and black (including many AOBA Champions). His dam, Patagonia’s Allegra won the Brown Color Championship banner for fleece at the 2008 AOBA National Show. Allegra also received 12 other ribbons, including Produce of Dam, two first place ribbons at AOBA, first place at MAPACA, and a second place ribbon at The Futurity. On top of that, Chief's maternal grandsire, Nishio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year and the 2007 Reserve All-American Herdsire of the Year!

Love Sonnet has an exotic hued fleece that is extremely dense as well as fine. Like her sire, El Vasco she is retaining her fineness as she ages. She has a beautiful head, is well balanced and did well in the show ring. Love Sonnet boasts Neruda and Shackleton lineage from both maternal and paternal sides. Just born; 9.14.16 NICE, male TB cria, MFI Tiger Blood is sire, cria not included. Love Sonnet is bred to Neversummer's US Steel which should prove an awesome 2017 cria.
