“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!

Congratulations and thank you to Raymond Mena for his purchase of Patagonia's Nitika! PATAGONIA'S NITIKA Nitika comes from two outstanding multi-champion parents. Her sire is our legendary multi champion brown herdsire, Patagonia's Lennox. His fleece is soft, fine, dense, exhibits high frequency crimp and is bright. Lennox, an 8-time color champion is proving himself in the showring again through his award-winning progeny. Nitika's dam is Patagonia's Black Rose, a true black Nishio daughter. Black Rose is a 6x Black female Champion and has won multiple blue ribbons. Offspring: On 9/25/2012, Nitika gave birth to a lovely medium fawn female sired by Patagonia's El Vasco.
