PATAGONIA'S EL CANTO DE CHILE: El Canto de Chile means Chilean song, and with impressive genes like these, we are certainly singing this magnificent male’s praises. El Canto is a magnificent looking stud with his proud stance, gorgeous head, perfect bite, even topline, long staple length, and incredible leg coverage. Once you look closer, opening up the fleece you reveal a lovely crimpy fleece that is soft and buttery, maintaining consistency and uniformity in micron and color. El Canto’s grandsire is Patagonia’s Lennox, the best-known Patagonia herdsire with nearly 300 cria on the ground and having the most Color Champion offspring of any Patagonia sires. His sire is Judge's Choice and 8-time Champion, Patagonia's Ernesto. No wonder this son is as outstanding as he is. El Canto’s dam is the 4x Champion and 17 ribbon winner (including 7x Produce of Dam), Patagonia’s Ingenue, who is our Patagonia matriarch. El Canto de Chile has exceptional progeny on the ground stamping out an amazing head, fine fleece, density, long staple length, consistency of micron, and more. You name it, his crias have it!

“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. Making him a 4th generation champion! In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated, "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion." “Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary. 7X BLUE Ribbons for GET of SIRE - This stud will bring success to every aspect of your breeding program!
