PATAGONIA'S LENNOX: Patagonia’s Lennox is one of the Greats!..As assessed by senior judge, Amanda VandenBosch, Lennox born in 2002 was an “A” quality herdsire in 2014. He has lingering fineness, bright, dense fleece, with a long staple length, typey head and compact body. His shiny brown fleece shimmers in the sunlight even to this day. Lennox made a mark for not only himself, but for Alpacas de le Patagonia, siring a multitude of quality offspring including champions and many progenies that are currently top breeding herdsires and foundation producing dams. His show wins are numerous with Color Championships, Get of Sire, and Blues, and in addition, his offspring have received multitudes of banners and ribbons. Lennox has produced black, brown, fawn, white and grey offspring. Patagonia’s Lennox had a skin biopsy of Density: 83.25 SQ MM (Rates in the top 0.5 % of all alpacas tested by Dr. Evans) S/P Ratio: 10.8 to 1 and this Histogram in 2004 year was: Histogram: 20.2afd/4.1sd/20.0cv/1.6%>30 (taken at 2 years of age) REMARKABLE SHOW RECORD: Lennox's outstanding achievements are too numerous to list. Included in his impressive accomplishments, are 9x Color Champion/Reserve Champion awards. In addition, Lennox has received an amazing 14 Get of Sire Ribbons (and counting)! His influence will long be felt in our herd! CHAMPION OFFSPRING! Lennox's crias are spectacular. Their fleeces are fine and tend to exhibit a high frequency and uniform crimp throughout their blankets. Of the 115 of Lennox's offspring that Competed in the Show Ring through 2017: 3 out of the 115 were Judge's Choice Winners 43 out of the 115 were Color/Reserve Champion Banner Winners 74 out of the 115 were Blue Ribbon Winners 66 out of the 115 were Second Place Winners 95 out of the 115 were Third Place or Higher Winners Lennox's Incredible Progeny are too plentiful to display, but here are a few of our favorites: PATAGONIA'S ERNESTO - MB Male 4/28/08 (Judges Choice Winner and 7x Color/Reserve Champion) PATAGONIA'S ANTONIO - LB Male 7/14/10 (10x Color/Reserve Champion & Multiple Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S JUNEAU - DF Female 9/27/05 (8x Produce of Dam & 5x Champion) PATAGONIA'S CHIEF - TB Male 6/8/09 (4x Color/Reserve Champion & Sire of 2014 IAO Supreme Champion) RNC GYLIANA - DB Female 11/22/09 (2x Color Champion & Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S MILLIE - DF Female 10/14/09 (Color Champion & Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S LA MARIETTA - DF Female 5/23/13 (2x Reserve Color Champion & Blue Ribbon Winner) ALEUTIAN EAGLE PATAGONIA'S CAMEO - LB Female 7/2/2011 (Reserve Champion & Multiple Blue Ribbons) PATAGONIA'S CAMILIA - DF Female 8/19/08 (Reserve Color Champion & Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S CHILKOOT - DB Male 6/21/11 (Reserve Color Champion & Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S MAGNIFICA - TB Female 6/14/09 (Multiple Blue Ribbon Winner) PATAGONIA'S CHYLO - LB Female 7/8/10 (Multiple Blues)

AOA# 1282221DOB: 5/31/200321 yrs
Congratulations and thank you to Sonoma Lavender Bnb Farm for their purchase of R&RR Irishea! R&RR IRISHEA 017N R&RR Irishea, is a light fawn from Ruth and Rodney Elvestad’s Canadian breeding program whose goal was to have lasting fine fleece, yet have the fleece to be the ultimate in density as well. Ruth operates Olds College in Canada working with fiber. Irishea is out of one of my very favorite males, famous black Canadian herdsire CAVA Guivar Zorro, a true black import. Zorro is now retired from breeding, which makes this girl's genetics that much more valuable! Offspring: In 2008, Irishea gave birth to PATAGONIA'S ERNESTO, our amazing MB male sired by Patagonia's Lennox. Ernesto is a Judges Choice & 7x Color/Res. Champion. In many ways, Patagonia’s Ernesto has surpassed his one of a kind sire, Patagonia’s Lennox, and what Lennox has been able to achieve in his life-time. In 2010, Irishea had a LF female cria sired by Patagonia's Lennox, that is a color champion and multi-blue ribbon winner.

Description

PATAGONIA'S ERNESTO: Patagonia’s Ernesto is a magnificent light brown compact herdsire that improves every dam to her fullest potential. Before I purchased Ernesto, I bred numerous females to this dynamic male just to see what he could do. I discovered that I could take an average dam, breed her to Ernesto, and voila, he would produce a stunning offspring. This feat was proven when we had hundreds of the females assessed with their juvenile crias. Time and time again, the cria scored better than the dam so I knew I had something special going on with this male and one way to obtain improvement in the production of our breeding program. In many ways, Patagonia’s Ernesto has surpassed his one of a kind sire, Patagonia’s Lennox, and what Lennox has been able to achieve in his life-time. Ernesto’s dam, R&RR Irishea, is a light fawn from Ruth and Rodney Elvestad’s Canadian breeding program whose goal was to have lasting fine fleece, yet have the fleece to be the ultimate in density as well. Ruth operates Olds College in Canada working with fiber. Irishea is out of one of my very favorite males, CAVA Guivar Zorro, a true black import. He has many good breeding years left and would love to have the opportunity to prove it!
