SNOWMASS ROYAL KNIGHT Snowmass Royal Knight is the spitting image of his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, only he is a True Black! PERFECT! Like his sire he has extremely FINE fiber over his entire body. If you can imagine a vicuna, with fine black fleece covering its whole body and having a long staple length, you can envision Snowmass Royal Knight. His Dam is a COLOR CHAMPION purchased from Bruce Bar, a dedicated alpaca importer who brought some of the world's finest alpacas from South America to the US. Panam's Chilean Rose produced 2 color Champions then one TRUE BLACK gift from ROYAL BRONZE. Snowmass Royal Knight was one of the highly select black alpacas in the Snowmass Elite Black breeding program. Royal Knight's son's are now servicing colored SM Matrix offspring at Snowmass. That's referral enough for most of us! Royal Knight has proven to be extremely valuable in infusing FINENESS into our breeding program. We truly need many more Blacks like Royal Knight in the National Breeding program to ensure the alpaca world can bring black to the same quality in fiber as white. If you are breeding for extreme fineness, density, rock solid-macho conformation in color...don't let the opportunity to breed to this male pass you by. His breeding fee is extremely reasonable for his quality. 7 year fiber stats - 16.5 M; SD 3.5; CV 21.1; %> 30m=0.4!!! Nope, there's no typos! Snowmass Royal Knight is the real deal. He exemplifies the fiber of the future on an alpaca that's here and ready for your girls today!!

PATAGONIA'S MILLIE Millie was one of the first Patagonia animals I purchased when I first found myself wanting colored genetics. We have been combining the Patagonia pedigrees along with the large bones, broad chests, retained fineness and wonderful handle (as well as outstanding density) out of the vast variety of our beautiful color foundation herd from names you are all familiar with such as Snowmass, NeverSummer, Janus, and R & R from Canada. Awards: Judge Tim Lavan awarded Millie the COLOR CHAMPIONSHIP at the 2011 AOBA National Show (out of a class of 27). In addition to her 2011 AOBA Blue Ribbon, she also received 2nd Place at the 2011 Alpacapalooza (class of 9), 2nd Place at the 2011 IAO Show (class of 9), 2nd Place at the 2010 Great Western Alpaca Show (class of 8) and a 2nd Place ribbon at the 2010 AOBA National Show (out of a class of 11). Offspring: On 10/9/12, Millie had a sweet medium brown female out of Patagonia's El Vasco, Patagonia's top Neruda son. On 7/6/14, Millie had a lovely, medium fawn female sired by Snowmass Satin Reserve XX, our true black herdsire with superior royal black lineage. On 4/28/16, Millie presented us with a beautiful true black female sired by Snowmass Andean Midnight, our stunning, compact, jet black, silky-soft male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. On 6/4/18, Millie gave birth to a nice-looking bay black male cria. On 6/9/19, Millie gave us a pretty medium brown female sired by Snowmass Royal Knight.
