RIP 9/11/2019, due to complications from arthritis and pain medication. He was regal to his last day. Breeders describe their Constantino line as their very best...PRODUCERS!!! 15 years ago the judges called him the "future of the industry" and they were right. In 2016 two of his juvie sons, Bonafide (LB) and Travelin' Man (BB), earned 1st FFH in very competitive classes. Tino's show career lasted 5 years and he successfully competed with the best in the country. His fleece stats for fineness and weight from 12+ years ago are on par with today's show winners. Tino's fleece took four years to increase one point for Standard Deviation...on a hig plain of nutrition. Tino's 19m /17 CV super dense cria fleece never collected debris; 9 - 10 crimps per inch in '03 and '04. Shearing Tino's first two fleeces was difficult. They were so dense, fine and slick that his skin got pulled into the blades several times. JUDGE'S 2004 Halter Champion COMMENTS: "FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY", "consistently the finest of his competitors, outstanding fleece character & handle", "extremely fine and dense for his age" (AWE 05, Krieger, 33 mos.), "largest testicles, strength and structure, ability to move out freely, correct proportions and a well-conditioned fleece." Superb phenotype; even temperament; strong libido/early maturation; heavy lactation too! Tino placed in halter and fleece, above award-winning sons of both Accoyo Royal Fawn and Accoyo Legacy...two record high-selling herdsires, Running Late and others.

2018 cria is a fine, crimpy and silky maroon female by Constantino named Merlowe. Histogram of MSG daughter American Dream (purchased by Delphi Alpacas): AFD 13.9 m / S D 3.1 / 22.1 CV / 0.3 >30 Wow. Sired by our Patriot. Pretty "Kate" is our best gray female. She inherited the best traits from her famous gray bloodlines of Peruvian Black Epic (gray dam), Snowmass Royal Bronze (RRoyal Fox's sire), Peruvian Casanova and Aussie Rockford. She has an advanced gray fleece...very uniform in fineness and color, long staple length, high frequency crimp, density w/ low SD and great length), complete coverage, beautiful phenotype in adulthood, correct conformation, proportions and movement. Kate's tui fleece couldn't be shown because it was damaged after shearing...turned into a bed by our Great Pyrenees who broke into the area where fleeces were stored. Sire is our stunning, full Peruvian, Snowmass RRoyal Fox, the 2010 AOBA Gray Male Composite Champion sired by Snowmass Royal Bronze and out of a Snowmass Peruvian Casanova daughter who produced three Futurity winners. Her dam is our beautiful Black Epic's Journie, who in several shows never left the ring without a ribbon thanks to her very fine, crimpy and abundant fleece. Journie is extremely typey and is a rare gray offspring of Hobby Horse's Peruvian Black Epic, the most famous true black sire in the country out of 5P Klassique Grey and by 4P Black Magic. Journie's gray dam is an Aussie Rockford (famous gray stud that needs no introduction) daughter out of PLA's Silver Empress, dam of the famous black Michelangelo. I bought my first alpacas from PLA...Pine Lake Alpacas (retired) one of the first alpaca farms in the country.

We are grateful to Crescent Moon Ranch for putting Sizzin' Shak in the CABA/AWE 2023 auction. Our Shak crias are due beginning July 2024. They will be from tried and true pedigree combinations. Shak is a calm male with a gentle nature. His production record is fantastic. He has sired multiple champion offspring and they display the whole package of excellence...type, conformation, density, consistent character, uniformity...did we say dense?...coverage and extreme uniform fineness...with good bites. As of spring 2023, Shak has 22 AOA registered offspring with show placings as follows for second place or better: One placed second. Four received firsts. Two earned RCs and four earned CHs. So ten of his 22 offspring thus far, have placed first or better. Sizzlin Shak is a paternal half brother to Red Granites' Val D Lsere. Daughter, Woop De Doo, received female color championship at 2022 AOA. Son, Paulinus, received male color championship at 2023 AOA. Son, Anerobico, received male color championship and Judge's Choice at CABA. Shak is available for limited breedings to approved females. Co-owned with La Finca Alpacas and Alpacas of Pachamama.
