RIP 9/11/2019, due to complications from arthritis and pain medication. He was regal to his last day. Breeders describe their Constantino line as their very best...PRODUCERS!!! 15 years ago the judges called him the "future of the industry" and they were right. In 2016 two of his juvie sons, Bonafide (LB) and Travelin' Man (BB), earned 1st FFH in very competitive classes. Tino's show career lasted 5 years and he successfully competed with the best in the country. His fleece stats for fineness and weight from 12+ years ago are on par with today's show winners. Tino's fleece took four years to increase one point for Standard Deviation...on a hig plain of nutrition. Tino's 19m /17 CV super dense cria fleece never collected debris; 9 - 10 crimps per inch in '03 and '04. Shearing Tino's first two fleeces was difficult. They were so dense, fine and slick that his skin got pulled into the blades several times. JUDGE'S 2004 Halter Champion COMMENTS: "FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY", "consistently the finest of his competitors, outstanding fleece character & handle", "extremely fine and dense for his age" (AWE 05, Krieger, 33 mos.), "largest testicles, strength and structure, ability to move out freely, correct proportions and a well-conditioned fleece." Superb phenotype; even temperament; strong libido/early maturation; heavy lactation too! Tino placed in halter and fleece, above award-winning sons of both Accoyo Royal Fawn and Accoyo Legacy...two record high-selling herdsires, Running Late and others.

Love this female...excellent producer too. Mar. 2012 Histogram: the highest bars on the graph are 14 - 17 microns...thank you daddy Fox! Very healthy, sound, calm, sweet and energetic with excellent phenotype, correct conformation and movement. Her fleece exhibits amazing density and uniformity (it only lacks a lower SD) which is consistent with her champion and blue ribbon parents of full Peruvian heritage and it exhibits the characteristics of the Columbia sheep type. Her fleece type is not bundled, but just a one continuous solidly closed fleece. (Note: alpacas with this fleece type are at greater risk of heat stress and need to be managed accordingly.) When I part her fleece there is a wavy aligned crimp along the staple, but the individual fibers have a crimp frequency averaging 9 - 10 crimps per inch and the primaries are also very nicely crimped. The only visible guard hairs on her second blanket are sparse ones on the edges of her belly and apron. Her neck and lower leg fleece are shorter, like a vicuna, which allows the majority of her fiber-growing energies to go into her blanket. Faith is a product of our efforts to produce some top quality alpacas that are unrelated to many common, popular bloodlines as well as to ultilize the more highly scrutinized 4P, 5P and 6P imports, the later of which had to pass the most stringent selection criteria of all importations. Faith's sire line goes back to Snowmass' 4P Andean Gold and the rest of her ancestors hail from the 1998 Peruvian importation, so she is unrelated to many great grey bloodlines and all Accoyo lines. Peruvian Heritage (coops and regions): Alianza, Condorsenca, Hauycho, Macusani, Machacoyo, Pinaya, Santa Rosa. There's no denying the superior fleece genetics of a top quality Peruvian.
