PATAGONIA'S EL COMISARIO: El Comisario is a spectacular boy with a true to type head, thick bone and a dense, crimpy fleece. El Comisario’s dam, Patagonia's Chic, is one of Patagonia's top true black females and descends from our best black female line. From this line, have come our most successful black alpacas such as Queen, Black Rose, Sombra, and Simone to name a few. All of these girls have won multiple black championships at level 5 shows and have all been AOBA National black color champions. El Comisario is sired by El Vasco, Patagonia's top Neruda son. Like his sire, we expect El Comisario to maintain a soft hand in his fleece as he ages. We have had such success with this breeding combination that we have bred Chic to either El Vasco (Neruda son) and Neruda 7 times. Closely related siblings to El Comisario include, Patagonia’s Juniper who sold as a maiden for $80,000, Patagonia’s Mondavi who was on our 2006 showstring and is now a working herdsire, Patagonia's Gaucho, a black herdsire on Patagonia's farm and Patagonia's Laelia. Comisario's first crias arrived in 2012!

Congratulations and thank you to Kat Bouzos for her purchase of Patagonia's Layla! Layla is sired by our legendary brown herdsire, Patagonia's Lennox whose fleece is soft, fine, dense, exhibits high frequency crimp and is bright. Lennox, an 8x color champion is proving himself in the showring again through his award-winning progeny. Her dam, Patagonia's La Sombra is an award winning Nishio daughter. La Sombra won the Reserve Championship at the Buckeye Alpaca Show in 2006, and blue ribbons at the AOBA National Alpaca Show in 2006 & The Futurity in 2007. Layla is a full sister to our multiple Blue-Ribbon Winner, PATAGONIA'S MAGNIFICA! Offspring: In 2012, Layla had a true black daughter sired by Patagonia's El Comisario. PATAGONIA'S BLACK LACE Ribboned at the 2013 Alpacapalooza show. In 2013, Layla gave birth to a lovely bay black female sired by Patagonia's El Vasco. In 2018, Layla gave us a cute male out of Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates. In 2020, Layla presented us with a handsome brown male sired by Snowmass Pure Passion.
