Zephyr is a striking male with exceptional presence, who caught my eye the first time I saw him at his first spring show. His breeders describe him as a "show stopper", and I could not agree more. I could not be more grateful to have been allowed the opportunity to add this boy to my herd.
Robust in size with well sprung ribs, balanced proportions, solid bone and an intense head style, Zephyr commands attention. He is covered in rich fawn fleece from head to toe, displaying excellent density, fineness, and uniformity in style across the blanket, throughout the neck and into the lower belly and extremities. I especially appreciate the length of his fleece in relation to the overall style (which is quite pleasing to look at to say the least!), and look forward to seeing how it will pair with other traits within the herd.
In looking at Zephyr's lineage, one will note that he is sired by the late MFI & TNT Peruvian Foundation, who is highly esteemed in his breeding and show career in both the US and Canada, with many champion offspring to his name, including the 2022 Canadian National Futurity's Supreme Champion, and the 2021 Huacaya 14-24mo Alpaca Canada National Fleece of the Year winner, Caley's Ascension. Zephyr's pedigree is balanced out with an equally impressive dam, Sunnyhill's KP's Zoey: A supreme champion Accoyo America Kung Pao daughter, with 3 national awards to her name (2019 Alpaca Canada National Huacaya Female of the year, 2020 Alpaca Canada National 14-<24mo Fleece, and 2020 National Fleece of the year), who is full sister to Sunnyhill's KP's Zang Pao (who who was both the 2022 Alpaca Canada National Huacaya and 2022 Male of of the Year, AND the 2023 Canadian National Futurity's Supreme Champion).
Zephyr's lineage runs deep with strong qualities in conformation, fleece structure and colour, for those interested in such things. I am particularly excited to see how Zephyr continues to mature, and to start putting him to work in the years to come.
