In 2015 we decided the time was right to bring a herdsire of the highest quality into our herd. After much consideration we pulled the trigger and bought half interest (proudly co-owned with Snowmass Alpacas LLC) in Snowmass Velvet Touche (Son of Snowmass Touche (Sire) and Snowmass Royal Splendor (Dam)). We loved him SOOO very much we bought the other half. He is now solely owned by Happy Hounds Alpaca Ranch.

HERITAGE STUD FEMALE Extreme fineness! We are very proud of our own Rico Suave girl-one of the last. Already the sparkplug of the pasture she is everything we expected of this match of Rico Suave and Lotus. Lily will remain in our foundation herd. Lily's maternal brother Sage is med fawn so I thought she should throw color with the right breeding. Much to our surprise when shearing her she is really a dorsal beige so we are looking for color here but that meant she did not do well in the show ring as she showed in a white class. Her first date was with champion Snowmass XXXtreme LegacyXXX, a Conopa son and she produced the Simply Gorgeous male named XXXtreme DAREDEVIL. LILY is in the Top 1% of EPD's for fineness-of course! I loved Lily so much we will be breeding her dam Lotus to Rico Suave full brother CMR Elite's Crescendo this year. Her brother Golden Sage had the heaviest male fleece weight in 2016 Lily was bred to Snowmass Elite Legend son Elite Iceman and delivered a girl Heritage Iceman's Snowdrop. Rebreeding to Snowmass Everlasting Paramount son Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX. Lily, Snowdrop and Daredevil are owned by our daughter Giselle. Lily is still holding a gorgeous tightly crimped fleece. Definitely not for sale. 2023 cria is a lovely white Lovers Legacy girl who is for sale when weaned.

WOW fleece! And one of the very few colored Defiance offspring. Full Peruvian if you care about that. Now that Defiance has been sold to Australia Beausoleil will be bred exclusively on our farm for ourselves and our clients. A small male, I knew he would get discounted in the show ring so was not shown. He is packed with super fine crimpy fleece. His consistency and soft handle are superb. He has wrinkles on his muzzle like his dam, which I had been told in the past that he is related to Don Julio's male Sher Khan. Beausoleil's pictures do not do him justice. Starting his breeding career in 2019, he settled two females with one breeding. He will be crossed with our Principio's Heartbreaker, Running Late and Matrix Magic offspring. His first cria is here! A dark Fawn female out of Heartbreaker’s dam. Named La Belle Fleur Sauvage(beautiful wild flower) she is all we expected. She now has a full sister Beausoleil’s Tres Jolie
