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.

Trixie is a sweet grey girl with great markings and a beautiful, sweet face. Her grand-sire is the legendary SA Peruvian Black Epic, 7X banner winner and sire of offspring with over 150 champion wins. Trixie is a devoted mother with loads of milk that throws big, strong, healthy cria. Her dam, Bubbles, regularly produces grey offspring and Trixie did the same with her first two cria. One was sired by bay black Taos' Zeppelin and the second was sired by fawn FTAF's Privateer. The result is two beautiful grey boys. First Mate, Trixie's 2017 cria, made his show debut in Spring 2019. He made his mom proud with 3 Color Championships, and 5 blue ribbons. After breeding First Mate to 3 lovely Rare Gem girls, he was sold at the 2020 Amber Autumn Auction. Congratulations to Jayme and Dustin Haney of Alpacas of Aledo on their purchase of Trixie's champion offspring. He is now standing stud at their ranch in Texas. UPDATE: On November 17, 2021, Trixiebelle delivered a healthy 20 lbs fawn boy out of FTAF Privateer. Congratulations to Americalpaca on their purchase of Rare Gem Hooked on a Feelin’. UPDATE: On November 19, 2022, Trixiebelle delivered another big, healthy boy out of FTAF Privateer. He has beautiful, thick, organized staples! Trixiebelle is an easy keeper. She gets pregnant easily, stays pregnant and easily births healthy big-boned cria.
