Kohana comes from one of the best fleece lines at Alpacas de la Patagonia and is a half-brothers to Celio. Celio is the 2013 AOBA National Champion who won 8 times RC/CC. Kohana's dam is Chiachina, a Vinvi daughter. Vinci is Patagonia's white herdsire who won blue ribbons and is out of Nishio. Nichio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire and the 2007 Reserve All-American herdsire. Kohana's sire is Lennox, an 8 time color champion who ranked in the top .5% of all animals biopsied for follicle testing by Dr. Norm Evans. At Alpacapalooza 2011, Judge Wade Geese said, "It's impressive that at two years of age, this male carries forward this kind of finess and density." Kohana's histogram at 2 years of age shows that he had and AFG of 19.7m, and SD of 4.4m, CV of 22.3% and .30=1.3%. In 2024, Kohana is now 15 years old and still carries a fine 22.8 micron fiber. While Kohana has mostly produced Brown crias from dams, there is a possiblity of Rose Gray from Danko, his grandsire. Although Kohana's fiber is not as fine as some others, it still makes nice yarn or whatever you choose to use it for. Kohanahas produces beautiful crias for us. One of them is Sawdust's Meranti, born May 30, 2018 and now living on the Hawaiian island of Maui!.

"Rosie" is a very calm young lady, good mothering instincts with the crias just born. Named SixPennyRose because she was our 6th alpaca, (sixpenny is also a type of carpentry nail) and Rose because of her color. We have just started halter training her and she leads well. 2012, Miss Rosie produced a 13.8 lb girl we named Mahogany (Awnee for short) who is just a sweetheart. She leads well on the halter, has good confirmation and fiber. Rosie has been bred to our Black Velvet for a June 2013 cria. Wow!!!! What a georgeous male cria Rosie has - I think he is considered a dark rose gray. He will be ready for 2014 show season. Rosie has again been bred to Black Velvet for 2014 cria. We can hardly wait to see what 2014 cria will be. UPDATE: On 7/14/2014, Miss Rosie produced a male cria named Tesota who is so nice. We really like Mr. Sota. Our Rosie just had her 4th cria, A little reddish brown boy from our Kamiak's Kahana, A beautiful LENNOX boy. Bred last July 2015, SAWDUST'S RHAMNUS, born June 13.2016 6/8/2017 ROSIE gave us another LENNOX boy. ALECTRON, a beauty, MRG. Sire is our KAMIACK'S KOHANA
