I had long coveted the lines of CCNF Elixir and those of his legendary sire, Snowmass Elite Legend for their proven production of award-winning alpacas. When the opportunity to acquire a male from these lines was offered, I didn’t hesitate! Alpacajoy Excelsior is one of the first-born offspring out of CCNF Elixir, 5x Judge’s Choice and 3x HoTY, and his only son in Canada. His elite pedigree on his sire’s side traces back to CCNF Archangel, Snowmass Quechua, and 5Peruvian Cangalli. His dam, CCNF Chiquita, is the matriarch of one of Alpacajoy of Norway’s best lines, producing offspring still winning championships at the age of 5 (Alpacajoy Epiphany – Excelsior’s ¾ sister). CCNF Chiquita is a direct daughter of Futurity Champion, Snowmass Messiah, and a granddaughter of Snowmass Accoyocusani. The award-winning descendants from this line in Norway have an impressive show-record history… He showcases a very dense fleece with highly aligned crimp, fineness, great staple length and longevity. With no guard hair on his frame, Excelsior will bring great qualities into our breeding program. Although his show career was cut short while he was in quarantine to be exported to Norway, Excelsior was unbeatable in the Light category, winning Light Colour Champion both times. He attained the score of 83/100 in fleece show with his 3rd fleece. As a breeding male, Excelsior produces offsprings with improved density, barely any visible guard hair on them, superior staple length and wide chest. In 2023, he has improved every dam he was bred to, and will be put on our best females during the 2024 season. With his fawn colour genotype, when bred to whites, his crias are often beige/light. Excelsior's first cria to hit the showing, Tiger Park Bichette, won Reserve Champion Light as a juvenile at the A.L.P.A.C.A. Spring Show! Congratulations Carol & Kelly! Colour genotype: Ee AA

Miss Saigon stood out when I was looking for a new female to bring some fresh bloodlines into our breeding program. She is as close to phenotypical perfection you can get; her fiber is simply stunning, and she carries limited and unique genetics. What’s not to love? Saigon has a beautiful head with incredible bones and fiber coverage right down to her toes, she is simply gorgeous! Her fleece is super fine, still at 19 microns at 3 years of age, uniform, extremely dense and has a high curvature crimp style with very little guard hair along her solid frame. Miss Saigon comes from elite North American genetics. Her sire is none other than A Wanted Man, Judge’s Choice, multi-Champion and highest selling animal at the Futurity, now exported to Europe. On her maternal side, her dam is a 5x Champion Snowmass Conopa XXX daughter from a Supreme Champion dam. A quick look on her pedigree and you’ll see where her quality comes from… In September 2022, Saigon had her first cria sired by our CCNF Elixir son, Excelsior. Her little girl has a super fine fleece with outstanding staple length! Colour genotype: EE AA
