Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities.

She sheared 10 pounds again in 2019. Top 0.12% Fleece weight; top 25% for 5 other traits 2018 EPDs. 2016 was a great year for Mixie. It was the only year she attended shows and she earned a Championship and two second places (FFH). (RANKED 38th of 39,442 for fleece weight in the 2016 EPDs.) In 2016, petite Mixie sheared 10 pounds total (4.8 # blanket, 4" staple, lovely aligned crimp and bright). She's sweet and smart too. Mixie's white Accoyo sire has produced true black crias and her phenomenally gorgeous dam is a medium fawn Matrix daughter. We purchased this stunning maiden at the Alpaca Amore Affaire 2016 pen sale from Casa De Arboles. Thank you Maggie! A few other breeders were seriously considering her, so I made a deposit Saturday night. The next day, at 30 months old, judge Sharon Loner awarded Mixie the white female Championship from a field of 15 and said, "...I knew who my winner was as soon as she walked into the ring." The first things you notice are her excellence in phenotype, conformation, proportions and presence. She is packed with fleece nose to toes and has graceful movement in all gaits. She has a full topknot, short muzzle with depth of jaw, compact size, level topline, even leg spacing, low tail set, deep chest, ample bone and complete fleece coverage. Her huge blanket fleece exhibits excellence in uniformity, density, consistent high definition crimp, brightness, uniformity, fineness, handle and very long staple length. Her pedigree includes many of the most famous names in the industry: Snowmass' Matrix and Quechua, Snowmass Royal Rose, Accoyo Elite, 2x, Accoyo Legacy, Legacy Gold, Snowmass XXXtreme, Accoyo Caligula, 2x Bueno (Alianza), Snowmass Drambuie, 2x Hemingway Alianza), P. (Accoyo) Cahuide, P. Drambuie, Accoyo Auzengate, Accoyo Ruffo, P. Jesusa (Cas-Cad-Nac Farm), Lace, Maree Love, Snowmass' Amberlight and Chiribaya, Crystal Lace, Legacy's Lass, etc.
