“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. Making him a 4th generation champion! In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated, "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion." “Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary. 7X BLUE Ribbons for GET of SIRE - This stud will bring success to every aspect of your breeding program!

Gray breeders have commented that Truffles is a beautiful female with a beautiful fleece. Her fleece exhibits excellent character tail to ears-fineness, crimpy primaries, color, density, brightness, long staple, a soft handle & an absence visible guard hair. Yocum-McColl said that her fleece is a rare, true (pigmented) gray and very nice, long, fine and silky. Truffles' pedigree is consistent for maintaining phenotype, quality fleece & fineness beyond five years. She is a wonderful producing dam for us & has outstanding offspring no matter who we breed her to. Her sire, Snowmass RRoyal Fox (2010 AOBA Gray Composite Champion), is from Snowmass' Royal Bronze and Casanova bloodlines. He's a full Peruvian with '98 imported true black and maroon granddams, so he's unrelated to all other gray bloodlines! Truffles' dam was a multiple champion & blue ribbon producer. Her third fleece earned a blue ribbon winner over a Futurity champion male in 2000 (judge, Julie Skinner). She was the best daughter of P. Andrajo (Alianza sire of Mr. Roosevelt who sired Crescent Moon's Donato). Her paternal sister, Reyna (MSG @ 15.6 m), placed 1st at Alpacapalooza '12. They are Fox's two best gray daughters so far. Paternal Brother, Graphite - 1st Futurity 2012! Her 3/4 maternal sister is Carmelina, a Res. Champ. Her maternal brother is Constantino, is a Champion who won blue & purples for 5 years.
