AOA# 32138375DOB: 10/8/201014 yrs

Well, what can't we say about this exceptional male? We purchased him with the expectation he would deliver. We have not been disappointed! His first offspring, IAF Carmella, has achieved 5 Championships, Best Luster (4 times!), Judge's Choice 2x!! We knew she was something special the minute she was born. IAF Carmella has an unbelievable fleece show record-something that we specially engineered to make our entrance into the alpaca show world. GLR Pablo, is a Shavano son, out of the prestigious Great Lakes Ranch breeding program. We certainly are very proud to have him on our farm. Pablo has tons of luster and is super greasy to the touch. He has wonderful coverage and is passing this along to his offspring. Given his first offspring who is rockin' it in the show ring and in the fleece shows (IAF Carmella), we are super excited to see what else he brings to our foundation females. Pablo Show History: Pablo made his debut season in the show ring starting with the AAA Futurity in Grand Island, Nebraska where he was the youngest in his juvenile class and took a first. Then on to GWAS where he was 2nd and to AOBA Nationals where he was awarded another first. At the 2012 AAA Futurity he placed 3rd in the Yearling class and at Mapaca, the largest suri show of the year so far, with 292 suris, he was 1st and Brown Color Champion. We have decided to open up Pablo in 2022! Please contact us for breeding arrangements.

Dam: SUMMER HAVEN PHEOBE

Crowne Prince Daughter

SUMMER HAVEN PHEOBE

AOA# 32217391DOB: 8/24/201113 yrs

Phoebe has phenomenal fiber, density and confirmation. She is a daughter of Crowne Prince (granddaughter of Crown Royale) which we believe is one of the strongest reasons for her luxurious fiber. When we were researching possible white females to add to our farm, we were looking to add Crowne Prince genetics to our herd. Then we went to the farm to look at her. We felt a skein of yarn made out of her fiber-it was like I was touching a cloud! We just knew she had to join our herd! Her fiber and offspring have been just fabulous! The first offspring of the pairing of her and Pablo have produced is the infamous, IAF Carmella, who has been rocking the halter and fleece shows with several Championships, Judges Choice and Best Luster! She has been producing just incredible animals for us and we are so grateful and proud to have her as one of our foundation females. Pheobe was bred to Pablo for a 2021 cria. She delivered on 8/21/21. She and Pablo have produced another amazing cria for us!

Description

Carmella was the first offspring out of our breeding program. We knew she was something special when she was born and she did not disappoint! She was a product of our herdsire Pablo and stellar female, Summer Haven Pheobe who is a Crowne Prince daughter. Both fleeces had incredible handle and we loved both the genetic lines. Both parents remain in our breeding program and continue to produce iMpressive progeny. (Numerous color champions!) Carmella’s first halter showing at the Wisconsin Alpaca and Fiber Fest was over the top! Best with 7 in the ring @ 6 months! She outshined numerous other beautiful fleeces at the 2016 AOA Fleece Show and 2016 Suri Symposium and All-Suri Fleece Show winning Best Luster (at both shows), Color Fawn Champs (at both shows), Best Lock and was the Judges Choice at the Suri Network show. Over the course of her show career, she We entered her in numerous competitions and in every competition, the lowest score she was awarded was a first. Overall she won 2 Judge's Choice awards, 5 Color Championships, 11-1sts, Best Luster 4 times and Best Lock twice. She finished her show career as Color Champion at the 2018 AOA National Show with her 3rd fleece! Her fleece was Simply Stunning (TM)! Every year it had a wonderful soft hand, blinding luster and incredible lock. We lost Carmella right before she was to give birth to what we believed would be an amazing champion. We will always be grateful for her blessing of putting us on the map to all other serious breeders out there.
