"THE DARK MATRIX...." Snowmass Matrix Rose represents a supreme evolution of more than 5 generations of deep super proven lineages. He carries a magical combination of Snowmass' best genetics. Snowmass Matrix Rose's maternal lineage is just as notable as his sires, Snowmass Matrix. Snowmass Matrix Rose is the only standing son of one of their best Dams, Snowmass Golden Rose. Snowmass Golden Rose was sired by Snowmass Royal Rose, and her Dam, is one of Snowmass' most notable Legacy Gold daughters, Snowmass Golden Lace. This maternal line is as Royal and super as they come in colored alpacas. Snowmass Matrix Rose carries a direct lineage to Snowmass Royal Rose, Peruvian Hemingway, PPPeruvian Cahuide, Peruvian Caligula, 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite, and not to mention their very best Snowmass Quechua. Snowmass Matrix Rose has placed at the top of the most competitive shows in the country to date. "We are extremely excited about this young male who we are crazy to relate so soon." Stated from Snowmass Alpacas, Julie & Don Skinner. Snowmass Matrix Rose, coined "The Dark Matrix" and for a good reason. Matrix Rose has consistently given us generation after generation of herdsire greatness to each breeding. Bringing extremely dense and bright fleeces to his offspring! Without Snowmass Matrix Rose we wouldn't have Val D Lsere today, and we praise Rose for the line he has started for us. "We know that you can only move forward with a stud like this and vert much look forward to hearing about the success of Snowmass Matrix Rose and his career in the Elite progeny he will produce for you." Stated from Snowmass Alpacas, Julie & Don Skinner. In 2021, 90% of our show winners (color/reserve champions) came from the Matrix Rose line. 100% of our judges’ choice winners came from the Matrix rose line. He is still producing champions, folks and is OPEN for breedings. Cross him with your best females and watch a champion come to life. Accepting females for spring of 2022, after that we will not offer any breedings until august of 2022.

MSA Valpolicella is an exceptional foundation female! MSA Valpolicella is a trail-blazing synthesis of genetics from the best colors lines in the huacaya breeding world. Her dam, is a direct daughter of 4Peruvian Altiplano Gold 6026, whose offspring are highly saught after. His reputation for consistently producing high levels of quality in his offspring is unmatched by most males. He has an amazing ability to pass on positive traits in fleece and conformation--with over 90% of his offspring (or those with his lineage) placing first and second in tough local and national competitions. A fine example of this would be his granddaughter, our MSA Valpolicella. Valpolicella is the daughter of Patagonia's El Trauco. A full Chilean Shackleton son known for his fine fleece. Trauco is an 8x color champion (including AOBA and All-American Futurity) who produces beautiful typey heads on his crias. His cria are winners at halter and fleece and exhibit elegant phenotype as well. Combining these two lineages created the perfect breeding female to use within a color program. Proof? Valpolicella was used within our foundation female breedings from 2009 to 2019. That is extraordinary for a female to be used within a program for 10 straight years and just goes to prove just how good of a producer she is. Five of her nine offspring have been used within our breeding program. Despite this female being a little old in age, she can still produce exceptional crias. She is still in healthy condition to be able to hold a few more crias. And for that reason we would sell Valpolicella with a free non-transferable breeding. With her genetics we would like to see her go to our back-to-back Dark Colored Offspring Futurity Herdsire of the Year winner: Red Granites Val D LSere. This is a steal folks, he has been closed to breedings since 2016 and offering a breeding with a female like this is simply unreal.

Co-Owned with Kern and Rhonda Deschner of Tierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch When is comes to this male right here, he is simply one of a kind. You could not ask for more, the epitome of excellence: Red Granites Alydar By Val D Lsere. There has never been a Grey Alpaca to stir up as much commotion as this one, and probably never will be. For all that have seen and judged this male, he has been represented as the IDEAL standard for grey fleece. The evenness of his fineness and the astounding density and uniformity that is found within his blanket is simply incomparable. It is a very advanced, high-frequency crimp style from skin to tip, rarely seen in his color group. This crimp style continues right down the leg and into his belly area, also running up through the neck all in a very uniform manner. Judges’ have described his fleece as “angel-like and delicate” with “superior uniformity of micron” and carrying the “dangerous combination of fineness and density”. Alydar was shown at one of the highest level shows, Nationals, and took first place as a juvenile, yearling, 2-year-old, and mature male, he also did so at The Futurity, taking a first place as both a yearling and 2-year-old and then moved into the champion circle. He also won the 2021 Futurity Judges' Choice Male & 2023 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Champion trophy. Many juveniles place well the first year but the real test is if they can stand the same position or even better position the following years, and hold onto their exceptional traits. He has a total of 41 Championship banners, 10 Judges' Choice awards, a Supreme Championship, a Grand Champion, and Spirit of the Industry win to his name, not to mention he was named the #1 National High Point Huacaya Male in 2022 & #3 National High Point Huacaya Male in Fleece for 2023. He became the first gray to win the prestigious Futurity Judges’ Choice award & to win a National Supreme Championship trophy, and also became the second gray alpaca to have won over 30 Championship banners. Nothing about him has wavered in his fleece or body in his maturity over the years. Alydar comes from a generation after generation of champion alpacas. His lineage includes Herdsire of the Year winners: VAL D LSERE, MR SIZLIN ROSE, and MATRIX while also including top color producing sires: MATRIX ROSE, CONOPA, VALENTINO, THELONIUS, KIRWIN, CASANOVA, and SIZLIN HOT. Excellence in COLOR in in this males blood!! Alydar's production has been everything we hoped for and more. He has produced every color. His progeny have also won 40+ Championship banners...don't wait on a breeding, he might be closed next time you look!
