Previous owner's description: Snowmass Matrix Principe is just an all around spectacular guy! He is the son of Snowmass Matrix, famous son of Snowmass Quechua. We absolutely love what Principe brings to our breeding program. He is a handsome compact male, with great balance, strong bone and fine, dense fleece everywhere! His amazing pedigree lists the top of the pyramid males generation upon generation, with Matrix, Quechua, 4Peruvian Legacy, Hemingway, and Cahuide on his paternal side. His dam also has her bragging rights coming from Felix and Bueno combination from the elite Maple Brook breeding program. You can see from the pictures he has impeccable good looks. Get into his fleece and you will want to sink your hands in there and never let go! We worked with Julie Skinner on finding a male that would take our breeding program to the next level above the great males we already have in our program. We were looking for genetic and fleece combinations they have had great success with in their breeding program. After looking at several outstanding potential males, we couldn't resist Principe. Julie stated Principe is the very finest of Matrix sons and is also very dense like his sire. Discussing a male to put over our Royal Challanger son, Snowmass Golden Victory, Julie said "The Royal Challenger lines with Matrix are our very best!" We can't wait to see this combination come together in our breeding program! Check out Principe's histograms and you will see extreme fineness in color that is maintaining very nicely. Principe has volumes of fleece in coverage and staple and density. What more do you need to know to give this guy a date with your girls? Principe's cria display significant improvement in fleece from their dams, extreme brightness and beautiful hand.

This lovely maternal sister to Supernova's Quattro is retaining her stunning vicuna-like looks. From Moonshadow Alpacas: "Golden Treasure is a beautiful proven female. She is extremely dense with a very soft handling fleece. Daughter of Snowmass Golden Victory, she has inherited an incredible package of genetics and fiber quality. Her dam is no slouch either and has produced high quality offspring, to include CAR Supernova's Quattro, an elite Herdsire standing stud at Stachowski Alpacas. Golden Treasure brings tons of opportunity to any high quality breeding program. Her entire family tree is loaded with proven quality genetics of elite fiber production. At NW Alpaca Showcase, Judge Wade Gease loved her phenotype, density and overall consistency of her fleece. Treasure has only been shown a few times, but has placed in each extremely competitive show. Golden Treasure was bred to Snowmass Matrix Principe for her first breeding. We purchased Snowmass Matrix Principe from Snowmass specifically to put over our Golden Victory females. Julie Skinner recommended the Matrix lines to cross with the Royal Challenger line as that has been some of their best! This pairing produced a beautiful super fine female, Princess. For a first time mom, Treasure was a natural, easy birth, plenty of milk and great mothering instincts. Treasure brings great qualities to any high end breeding program. On top of everything, Treasure is just such an easy keeper, easy to handle and mellow in the herd, plus she is a very pretty stylish female."

We are grateful to Crescent Moon Ranch for putting Sizzin' Shak in the CABA/AWE 2023 auction. Our Shak crias are due beginning July 2024. They will be from tried and true pedigree combinations. Shak is a calm male with a gentle nature. His production record is fantastic. He has sired multiple champion offspring and they display the whole package of excellence...type, conformation, density, consistent character, uniformity...did we say dense?...coverage and extreme uniform fineness...with good bites. As of spring 2023, Shak has 22 AOA registered offspring with show placings as follows for second place or better: One placed second. Four received firsts. Two earned RCs and four earned CHs. So ten of his 22 offspring thus far, have placed first or better. Sizzlin Shak is a paternal half brother to Red Granites' Val D Lsere. Daughter, Woop De Doo, received female color championship at 2022 AOA. Son, Paulinus, received male color championship at 2023 AOA. Son, Anerobico, received male color championship and Judge's Choice at CABA. Shak is available for limited breedings to approved females. Co-owned with La Finca Alpacas and Alpacas of Pachamama.
