Congratulations and thank you to Kat Bouzos, of Bouzos Farms, for her purchase of HVLA Poppy! HVLA POPPY Offspring: On 5/14/2007, Poppy presented us with a gorgeous true black female sired by UA Inkspot. This impressive black herdsire is a son of the award winning Yankee Doodle Dandy (DF) and grandson of Cisco Kid (grey). At 7 years of age, Inkspot held the amazing fineness at 21.4 microns. On 9/8/2008, Poppy had a lovely true black female sired by our Patagonia’s Darwin. “Darwin” is out of one of the top producing silver grey males in the country! Patagonia’s “Danko” has sired many top national award winning progeny...too numerous to list. “Darwin” has a compact body, great structure, bone, coverage, density and a handsome correct headpiece! On 11/27/2009, Poppy gave us a beautiful light brown vicuna female sired by legendary grey herdsire, Bisturi. Bisturi is a stunning grey male with a gorgeous evenly colored fleece. On 9/30/2013, Poppy presented us with a wonderful true black female sired by our Snowmass Satin Reserve XX. Satin Reserve is an exquisite top of the line herdsire with Royal Black lineage from the Snowmass Black breeding Program! Not only is Satin Reserve a winner in his own right, but many of his progeny have taken Color Championships, Reserve Championships and blue ribbons. On 4/2/2017, Poppy gave us a lovely true black female sired by our Snowmass Rock Star XX. Rock Star is a stunning true black male with a dynamite, fine and silky feeling fleece. His sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze is one of Snowmass Alpacas finest studs holding a micron in the teens well into breeding age.

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!!
