The results came back from the skin biopsy which are very favourable: Below is a write up from Jim Watts, MV. Sc, Ph.D: He is a rather special male!!! Jim Watts analysis: The 14 month old alpaca, FDA Rembrandt, has high levels of fiber density and fiber length. The density reading of 67.7 follicles per square millimeter will be lower when the animal reaches mature body size, but not sufficient to alter the fact that it is a high density animal. This view is supported by the high level of secondary follicle development that has occurred - a secondary follicle to primary follicle ratio of 13.5 to 1 is exceptional for an alpaca. The primary fibers and secondary fibers are fine in diameter (means of 24.5 microns and 17.6 microns respectively) and very uniform in diameter (standard deviations of fiber diameter of 2.9 microns respectively). Note the low level of medullation (13%) in the secondary fiber population - a feature that is sought and only accompanies alpacas with a very fine and uniform fleeces. The fibers are growing in length at the fast rate of 0.55 millimeters per day.

This is a truly stunning female. We are so pleased to co-own Imagination with Amanda Vandenbosch of Flying Dutchman Alpacas. Imagination's genetics are exceptional with XXXtreme Xclipse as sire and Fir Cove Dianna as her dam. These top-of-the-line genetics include Caligula, Accoyo Michelangelo, El Nino, Snowmass XXXtreme and Snowmass Royal Rose. Her sire, XXXtreme Eclipse is a 7x Color Champion and 4x Judges Choice male. Imagination's fleece is exquisite in its super royale fineness and uniformity. Her very soft white fiber is exhibited in a dense, highly organized fleece. Imagination's skin biopsy results for 2017 showed a density of 90 follicles SQMM, an average secondary to primary ratio of 15.8 to 1, S/P micron spread of 10, a biopsy AFD of 20.9 and a level 4 of 4 gland presence. Imagination's 2021 EPD stats are just as awesome: Top 2% in FW Top 3% in SD Top 3% in MC All this stunning fiber on a beautiful solid frame that wraps into an exquisite female package. Imagination is maternal half-sister to the high selling male, FDA Rembrandt's Royale Navigator sold at the 2017 Snow Diamond Auction. Imagination is a prepotent stud female that is stamping her designer quality fleece and conformation traits into her offspring. We call it the Imagination Line. As the first edition in her line, we chose to breed Imagination to A Wanted Man, three-time Color Champion and five-time Reserve Color Champion for a fall 2017 cria. She had a gorgeous dark fawn male cria in October 2017, Bounty Hunter, with beautiful dense, fine fleece. Bounty sold to a distinguished breeder in Poland at 16 months of age. After careful consideration we chose to breed Imagination to FDA Rembrandt for her second edition cria. She gave birth in November 2018 to a beautiful white male cria, who is a real head turner, Rembrandt's Syndicate. Another fabulous offspring in the Imagination line who was sold at the 2019 Education with a Destination Pen Sale to a discriminating Canadian breeder. Imagination was bred in the fall of 2018 to Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX and had an exceptional little female in 2019 we named High Vanora. She is really something special.
