Watch for those kids in their show string in 2014/2015. Zeppelin has over 45 cria on the ground so far, and he is throwing a lot of black. His get from black based dams includes: – From 9 TB dams he has thrown 4 TB, 1 DSG, 3 BB, and 1 DF cria. – From 2 BB dams he threw 1 BB and 1 LF cria. – From 4 Silver greys (black base) he threw 3 TB and 1 MB. From light colors he often darkens the dam. – From 8 whites, he has yet to throw a white, with some beiges and even a TB – From 6 fawns, he has thrown a variety of colors, including DRG But regardless of color, with Zeppelin it’s ALL about the fleece quality – for example look at his daughter Tessla’s fleece at right – she sold for $18,000 at auction in 2012, shortly after winning Color Champ, Best Brightness and Best Hand at the Alpacamania Fleece Show (Tessla’s yearling histogram: AFD 12.7, SD 2.0, CV 15.6, %>30 0.0)! The pick of the litter in 2012 at Delphi was Deltana – a fawn with the kind of fleece you dream of. She’s off to the great breeding program at A Paca Fun Farm! His Lineage: Zeppelin is prepotent for that fine fleece with gorgeous character. His dad, PHA Peruvian Taos, a stunning Legacy son, had a 22.9 AFD at 7 yrs. Zeppelin’s mom tested at 21.3 AFD at 7 years as well. Zeppelin also offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone. Zeppelin is full Peruvian and 3/8 Accoyo.

Sassie is a beautiful light silver grey female out of two rose greys. Sassie’s fleece is very nice (check out her histogram!), with a high frequency crimp, good density and a soft handle. Her fleece has excellent uniformity throughout her blanket. With correct conformation and bite, she will be a good choice for anyone wishing to breed for greys. Very fine: 17.9 AFD (2009) and 17.4 AFD (2012)! Wow! Sassie has had two gorgeous grey cria, one in 2010 and one in 2011. On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015, Sassie had a strong and handsome medium brown boy with the sweetest disposition from multi-champion hersire LondonDairy Ra. Sassie is an easy birther and a great mom with lots of milk. On April 26, 2016 Sassie had a beautiful brown girl from our AOBA National Champ, Zeppelin! Sassie's 2018 cria is a beautiful brown girl from our champ grey stud Snowmass Enlightenment! This cria has the softest fleece, and is packed with grey genetics!
