Dino won several top awards during his show career in Canada. Dino comes from two gray parents, and has produced exceptional offspring. Another of his phenomenal daughters, Misti Fire, has recently produced a rose grey girl for her proud new owner, Alpacaknights of Kentucky. While Alpacaknights has left the alpaca business after a long and illustrious career, Dino's daughter Mistifire was their last alpaca - the one they saved and wouldn't sell until they had no choice.
Another wonderful Dino daughter, grey Ramita, has found her home at NeverSummer alpacas - the proud owners of 38 Special. Ramita produced their phenomena black star "Lucille".
Dino's maternal brother, GNLC Maximus Paca, brought home a blue from the 2006 Nationals - and his class included the 2006 Futurity Reserve Champion gray male (who placed second)! Their mom Rosalee was a prize foundation girl in Canada and then in Steve Rolfing's herd.
We are proud to present Dino for your consideration. We share Dino with Shadow Ranch Alpacas of Dolores, Colorado; and Phantom Canyon Alpacas of Penrose, Colorado.<--description-->
Dam: NEVERSUMMER'S VICTORIA
31081269<--ari-->White, Light Rose Grey, Dark Rose Grey<--color-->Victoria's sire (Silver Charm) was a well known and respected name in the silver herdsire lexicon. He was the "go to" guy for retained fineness well into his later years. This garnered him many 1st place fleece awards, including AOBA Nationals at the age of 5. Once owned by NeverSummer Alpacas, Carol Collins said that she was sorry that she sold him. Sadly, Charm has now passed, and Victoria is one of his last daughters, and therefore even more of a prize.

Silver Charm is a superb stud in every respect - fleece, conformation, presence, personality and breeding background. He is a proven producer and has several award-winning offspring on the ground including grey, black and beige Color Champions!
In the AOBA National Fleece Show this year a Silver Charm son (VF Prince Charming) was awarded Light Color Champion!
At 8 years of age, Silver Charm's fleece is still exceptional (AFD 26.4, SD 5.2, CV 19.7, 15.8%,30) and he exhibits unusual density and character for a grey.
This fellow's trademark has become the wonderful consistency (the true "comfort factor") that he passes on to his offspring.

Description
We call Ramita our "diamond in the rough" - A poster child for the importance of genetic background. Let's face it .... she just isn't a show girl. But she comes from three generations of careful, "NeverSummer" breeding matches.
Ramita's sire, Tickity Boo Dino, has extremely nice handle to his fleece, and bold crimp too. He won several top awards during his show career in Canada. Dino comes from two gray parents, and has produced exceptional offspring.
Offspring:
In 2010, Ramita had her first cria is an absolutely stunning, TRUE BLACK, Aussie .38 Special daughter. "NEVERSUMMER'S LUCILLE" received the Blue Ribbon in a super competitive class of 8 at the 2011 International Alpaca Odyssey where the three judge panel placed her above last year's Futurity Color Champion! In his orals Dr.Julio Sumar (one of the three judges) commented on her fineness, uniformity, heavy dense locks and extreme luster. Lucille won two color championship banners at IAO in 2012.
In 2011, Ramita delivered 38'S RENDEZVOUS NS, another beautiful Aussie .38 Special cria with a fabulous fleece! This time its a CMRG male with "Herdsire" written all over him. It was an "OMG!" moment when we cria sheared the handsome fellow. His fleece is so reminiscent of big sister Lucille - super lustrous, silky, dense, well-organized locks.
In 2012, Ramita followed that up with a lovely MSG Aussie .38 Special daughter, NEVERSUMMER'S GLORY DAZE. Glory Daze was a multi ribbon winner on the 2014 show circuit.
In 2014, Ramita had ESTATES REBEKAH, a lovely bay black female, sired by NeverSummer's US Steel. Steel is a handsome Aussie .38 Special son who inherited his sire's trademark silky handle.
