"Canaletto is one of the finest and most striking dark fawn males born to Snowmass alpacas of full Peruvian descent of Grey lineage" (Julie Skinner). His dam was one of their finest and highly selected "Putina" Peruvian females. Her offspring have all been on their #1 show string. Canaletto has dense fiber with amazing fineness and handle that extends from his top knot down through his neck and body. For the first 6 years of his life he had an extremely uniform superfine fleece and has consistently passed the fineness and silky soft handle on to his offspring. His fleece did not increase by even a full micron for almost 5 years, and this strong genetic propensity for fineness is seen in his crias, with the majority of them being in the 19-20 micron range. They all have beautifully soft fleeces with incredible handle in every color! His sire, the famous gray, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova has also been a top seller and AOBA Herdsire of the Year. Canaletto is now a "gentleman of distinction" at 11 years of age. We have several exciting sons to replace him, so we are offering him at this outstanding price - for the price of only 2 breedings you can own him to breed to your entire herd!<--description-->
