From the respected PVA program, Fanfare is an AWE Champion and Futurity Blue Ribbon winner. She comes from strong black genetics on both sides. Fanfare is an impressive, elegant female with a ram-rod straight back and her sire's perfect head. Nice locking and density, and each of her offspring have had good to outstanding luster (even the huacaya "love child"!) and nice personalities. She is an excellent mother--textbook birthings, lots of milk, and a good maternal instinct. Fanfare comes bred to our True Black Futurity RC, RGSA Coppola, who sired her award-winning son, Fredo. She is due in late June, 2024. ...

We really are "gobsmacked" by this boy, purchased from Bev and Jason Brehm of Rogue Suri Alpacas! Coppola has had a terrific show career, earning 4 championships (both halter and Walking Fleece) at level 4 or higher shows, plus his first RC at the Alpaca Breeders' Invitational, and beating out his "old man" (Nico) for Color Champion at the 2017 California Classic! Now that he is shorn, I can really get my hands on his fleece---he has incredibly buttery ropey pitch-black locks that are distinctly well-defined and lustrous. It's almost unnatural--I've never seen anything like it. And who ever heard of a True Black male in the TOP 5% EPD for AFD!! His dam, WAP Showtime, is a multi ...

How many alpacas do you know that have improved their histograms with age? Take a look at our Chimu. Her AFD dropped to 15.9 microns at 2 1/2 years old! But, you expect the exceptional from a girl whose sire is the illustrious 6P Accoyo Titan (you know... he sold for $250,000 at 12 years of age...) And like her famous father, Chimu has an exceptionally pleasing personality, as you can see. Chimu is very fine, has a medium frame, and bright white fleece with good architecture. Bred to our Hemi-Accoyo Nautilus son Accoyo America Tempest, (excellent bone, fabulously fine, and density like a coat of armor!), we are anticipating an outstanding cria in 2011!...

If you are serious about breeding alpacas to meet the demands of a large-scale American fiber industry, then you should seriously consider breeding your females to Accoyo America Tempest! At 7 years of age, his fiber was judged at the International Alpaca. Odyssey to excel with those attributes most important to the fiber industry: Retention of fineness, and uniformity of micron, length, and architecture! Accoyo America Tempest is a male cast in his VERY famous father's image (Nautilus). The award-winning offspring that Nautilus has produced comprise a "Who's Who" of the Alpaca Industry [ Accoyo America Typhoon, Sinbad, Apocalypse, and Shanghai, to name just a few..] and his dam is no s...

Silk is aptly named--her fine, lustrous locks are soft and silky. Get a look at her 2011 histogram--at 3 years of age, her AFD is still 21.4 microns! She comes by this honestly--her sire is the famous Snowmass Silken Gold. Her dam is beige and with her fawn sire, Silk should cover color as well! Winter Silk is a tall girl with good bone and a very pleasing personality. She loves to run up and plant kisses on visitors. Silk also has excellent fleece statistics--see her 2015 AND 2017 EPD values, which are terrific across the board! Silk's first cria, Silken Radiance (by our herdsire, Quechua Radiance), has luminous, ropey locks with great density. And boy, does he have a...

Quechua Radiance is quite a "head turner", or at least the judges seem to think so! His luminous fleece demonstrates extreme locking to the skin, and it drips with luster. His heritage is 3/4 Accoyo. Radiance has SOLID BONE structure and a perfect conformation. His dam, Q'orianka was legendary on the show circuit and she has been one of our best producers. Both she and his Accoyo sire bring density to Radiance, and we are thrilled to have their handsome son. Even at 4 years of age, on his 5th fleece, he glows in the barn more than any other male, and he has one of the best fleeces of any of our suris. Radiance has a compact, correct, sturdy conformation with BONE!! We have...

Cocopuff is the product of the acclaimed Studmaster/Ideal Alpaca Community breeding program affiliated with North West Alpacas. It's fascinating to see how her grand-dam was "improved" in her breeding to Studmaster El Toro. Then, Cocopuff's dam was improved with her breeding to the outstanding MFI Peruvian Gallant Deed, one of the top Studmaster herdsires. Cocopuff is the result, and she is a solid, true black gal with a heavy blanket. She has bred readily and had trouble-free births of her six crias. She has excellent maternal instincts. Cocopuff comes with a breeding to your choice of our 2 champion black herdsires--Dundee's AJ Stormcat (sire of 2 previous TB offspring, b...

Torrefacto--it's a delicious Spanish coffee bean that is finely coated in sugar before roasting. Yumm! That describes our Torrefacto to a "T"! He's a true black son of our Champion black herdsire, Dundee's AJ Stormcat and our multiple-championship fawn gal, Derwydd Peruvian Inti-Siqay. His dam took Reserve Color Champion in Fleece at the AOBA/International Fleece show in 2009, and our Torrefacto combines the best qualities of both of his parents. His sire comes from very black bloodlines known for retention of fineness, great conformation, and Torrefacto shares his sire's mellow temperament. His dam has incredibly dense, crimped fleece with a lo-o-ong staple length. Torrefa...

Morning Star is a Full Accoyo daughter of Accoyo America Ulysses. Through her dam, 6P Accoyo Sophia, she has inherited an incredible fleece profile with a standard deviation of 2.6 microns, and exqusite bundling that parts cleanly on inspection. She has bright, fine-crimped fleece with a spinning fineness of 15.2 microns, typical of the acclaimed B-line Accoyos. Morning Star is a proven gal, with a good maternal instinct. She had 2 excellent crias for Gem State Alpacas. She produced a multi-champion male for us, and we plan to breed her this fall to Accoyo America Hawkeye. Morning Star is at our Marin County farm, in the North San Francisco Bay area....

The stars aligned just right, and Lord of Sipan was the result. We happened to have our full-Accoyo Poseidon daughter (with fawn genetics) in Virginia, at Double O Good Alpacas (home of Matrix), to deliver her cria by Royal Fawn. So, when I saw that a rare Matrix breeding was donated to the International Alpaca Odyssey in California, I bid to win! Sipan arrived 12 months later--born at Derwydd Alpacas, he was instantly a favorite of Jan Davis (who knew a thing or two about alpacas). She loved his bright, bright fawn bundles and beautiful crimp style. Sipan has matured to resemble his sire, Snowmass Matrix (you know--the highest selling alpaca EVER at $675K!) in fleece style, confo...

This bay black girl really turned heads at her first show this fall--including the head of the judge, who awarded her a Blue Ribbon ahd the Black Color Championship her first time in the ring! Iquique (ee-KEY-kay) follows in the footsteps of her dark brown full sister, Chukulati, who took several championships and blue ribbons and is now happily pregnant (by Eclipse Alyst) on a ranch in Oregon. Iquique has a perfect, squared conformation that she gets from her illustrious black sire, Dundee's AJ Stormcat--also known for his retention of fineness and perfect teddy-bear head, She has bright, BRIGHT black fleece with a lovely soft handle and nicely defined bundling. And who can resist...

We are thrilled beyond belief to have a top quality Renaissance Ridge grey herdsire in our lineup! It was a great opportunity for us, and we jumped at it! Donatello has the softest handle--the most uniform, fine fleece... Beautiful dark rose grey coloring---I suspect both classic and modern grey genetics. We plan to put him to work on our best colored females this fall! Yup!--gotta have modern grey in there because his first cria for us is MODERN dark rose grey, and her dam has no grey in her background! Addendum: his second cria for us is also a very dark modern rose grey from a true black female. This is from Julie and Ken Rosenfeld's listing of Donatello: "Donatello has bee...

Having lost to Derwydd Peruvian Inti-Siqay (aka "Suzy") several times in the show ring, I was honored to be able to buy her at the 2008 AOBA auction! She is a light fawn female with a well-balanced medium frame. She has a dark fawn spot on her right front leg--some would say she is dark fawn with a large light fawn spot. She certainly can pass dark genetics, as demonstrated by her multichampion TB son, Torrefacto! Suzy's pedigree is outstanding--her sire is Derwydd Peruvian Inti-Sapa, producer of many champion offspring, and her dam is an Accoyo Vengador daughter with several champion crias. Suzy has that "in your face" crimp and definition of bundles that is sooo sexy! It has wo...

COLOR CHAMPION!! Stormcat is VERY black (3 of his 4 grandparents are black!)--it's late summer, and his fleece is Blue-Black--it actually looks like black velvet! He has a long long staple, a very bright fleece with pleasing medium crimp and organized structure. Very big bone on a correct, compact frame, with a level topline and fleece all the way THRU his toes. He has a teddy bear head that is so appealing on huacayas, with a good bite, and a pleasing personality that is worth breeding for, aside from everything else! Stormcat’s pedigree is a "who's who" of names – Accoyo Camilio, Pperuvian Guellermo, CPeruvian Jaxon as an impressive sampling. His sire is a 4x Champ with retained f...

Arica has grown up to be a lovely girl with fine, consistent fleece characteristics that the judges have admired. Check out her EPDs! She brings good potential for color genetics from her fawn sire, an Alpamayo Studmaster son, and from her brown dam from the Studmaster program. She comes with a breeding to any of our males, or you can use the breeding for another female. For her first breeding we took advantage of her excellent consistency of fleece and bred her to our outstanding herdsire, Accoyo America Hawkeye. This daughter. Lauca, is now one of our foundation females and she is fantastic! A white female with outstanding fine bundling, brightness, and her conformation is perfect...

Prime Starrr, aka "Rocky", is a compact male with a correct, sturdy, proud conformation, and knock-out fleece. Take a look at his 2017 histogram: at 2 1/2 years of age his AFD is 20, spin fineness 19.3, >30 is only 1.3%, and STAPLE LENGTH is 102.6! The AOA fleece judge commented on this being a BIG fleece--Jude didn't know that he's actually a compact guy. Prime Starrr has beautiful definition of bundles with long staple length, tight and uniform crimp, and a bright fine fleece rounds out the picture. He also has an excellent bite. Even his leg and neck fleece get sent to the mill for yarn--they are better than most others' prime fleeces! (Note that because of his heavy fleece, he...

A daughter of the illustrious Accoyo Apache II and Accoyo Mallory Jane, this lovely girl has brilliant luster and independence of lock. She has an angular, well-covered regal head and a tall, solid, well-conformed frame. She placed First in the White Female class at IAO 2008, Second at the 2008 AOBA National Show, and took impressive fleece show championships as well. CJ's boy by Derwydd Accoyo Chask'a, SoCal's Accoyo Riobamba, took the SUPREME Championship at the International Alpaca Odyssey (2012), and he has several blue ribbons at other shows. His full brother, SoCal Accoyo Tiburon also took several championships--he is co-owned with Derwydd Alpacas and he is on our stu...

Accoyo Bracero was a long time in the planning, but he sure was worth the wait! We purchased his dam, grand-dam, and dam's half-sister from a farm in Utah in 2012. His grand-dam, Accoyo America Pearl, was the high selling suri in the 2006 Parade of Champions, selling for $80K. Thus far Pearl has produced 3 champion offspring, including Bracero's dam,Accoyo Belita by Accoyo Rico. As the co-ordinator for the Herdsire Auction for the 2014 AlpacaFest West, I had the opportunity to seek out donations of herdsires with whom I would like to breed my girls. I had Belita in mind when I successfully solicited a donation of champion Young Accoyo Bracito from Apex Alpacas. The rest is history....

Sugar is one of our top females, a Medium Fawn girl with depth of color in her genetics. Her bloodlines include Pacific Crest Iceman, son of the legendary MacGyver, and known for his extreme fineness. Her dam brings a True Black sire into the mix, so Sugar covers just about every color. Her latest cria, by Saber's Red Storm Rising, is a True Black female who drips with luster and has won numerous blue ribbons. She is an easy breeder and an excellent dam. She has passed on her exceptional luster and elegant conformation to her offspring Sugar has moved to her new digs at Alpacas of Marin in the North San Francisco Bay area. She loves to flirt with the boys, and likes no...

Lauca was declared the best cria of the season by an experienced evaluator of alpacas. She is a very feminine girl with perfect conformation--good bone and balance, and bright white fleece with medium frequency crimp. She has an incredibly heavy fleece, and has been in the top 1% EPD for fleece weight for 6 years and counting... Her 2019 cria scored 20 out of 20 points for fleece weight in the 2020 National Fleece Show, proof that this is a heritable trait! She is a wonderful mother for her cria this year--lots of milk and her daughter grew rapidly! All of Lauca's crias are big--each has been 21 lbs or more at birth and gain around a pound a day. She has had no problems with her birth...

Well, what else would you name the son of Snowmass Matrix CASHmina and Snowmass SEVEN BELOW?? Our "Cold Cash" is a BRIGHT white male with a sturdy and balanced frame, covered with dense, fine bundles of fleece. He has lovely consistency of fleece architecture from his hips to his chest, and down towards the belly. This is borne out by his incredible EPDs that have remained consistently (almost boringly) outstanding for 4 years. His sire, Snowmass Seven Below was Julie Skinner's "not-so-secret weapon" for consistency, and Cold Cash is proof of that point! You wanna talk retained fineness? His AFD is 19.8 at almost 7 years of age. SDAFD is 3.2 with Cov 16.4 and only 0.9%>30! Talk about uniformity of micron!! His Pedigree is unrivaled: His dam is a Matrix daughter out of a Legacy/XXXtreme bloodline. On his sire's side there is a lineup of Herdsires of the Year: his sire is Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Seven Below, who is also a son of Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Sub Zero, with Accoyocusani and other notables in his bloodlines. Seven Below was one of Snowmass' top herdsires, and he is considered their "secret weapon" for passing on uniformity of micron and fleece architecture. Cold Cash had an exceptional introduction to the show ring, winning a blue ribbon and then Reserve Banner of 19 entries at the California Classic. And see how well he did as a yearling! We had to hold back on breeding on our farm for a few years, but Cash's first cria is gorgeous!! We are still breeding very selectively, but Cash is tops on our list. I'd like to get a few more crias out of him to prove what he can do, so we have a very low introductory breeding price for a limited time. We are considering taking a partner in ownership--if not, we'll keep this gem for ourselves! Cash is enjoying the mild, damp weather (but windy!) in the North San Francisco Bay area, at our farm in Marin County.

Ultima is both adorable and beautiful. Her heritage is squarely in the Snowmass lineup--her dam is a daughter of high-selling Snowmass Matrix and her sire is Snowmass Best Man, who sold to a farm in Switzerland in the 2012 Snowmass auction for a pretty penny! Ultima carries fawn genetics: her maternal grand dam is fawn and her dam produced fawn by a fawn male. Ultima has a fawn spot on her very pretty face. She has a beautiful long staple with excellent crimp, bright fine fleece, and a luscious handle. Her conformation is perfect--she really could fit into a box! And she has a lovely wedge-shaped head. Take a look at her outstanding EPDs each year--there's a lot of "top 1%...

This girl weighed 26.6 lbs at birth. 50 lbs at 1 month, and 65 lbs at 2 months! More importantly, she is absolutely gorgeous, with dense, well-organized, buttery bundles exhibiting excellent crimp and fleece architecture, way down towards the belly. Nice staple length, too. Chungara is beige, with a tiny medium brown spot on her back, so she should be able to produce darker colors. She is my first alpaca to take full points, 20/20 in weight at the AOA National Fleece Show and the PAOBA fleece show. One judge commented on the good skirting, so that weight is all good fleece! And she's a sweetheart, to boot--Very calm and unafraid of humans. I was looking forward to taking Chungara ...

Moka is confirmed by ultrasound to be pregnant, due early March 2018!...

Wow! This is one of the best huacayas we have ever produced! His fleece is BRIGHT with beautiful popcorn bundles and high frequency crimp. Mas Snowmas is the culmination of a series of breedings we have carefully planned over the years, with each one reaching a higher plateau of perfection. This male is now the pinnacle of all that planning and waiting. A line breed on Matrix (dam is a Matrix granddaughter, sire is a Matrix son) AND a line breed on the incredible Snowmass Quechua--sire of Matrix, Snowmass Best Man, and so many other illustrious offspring. Frankly, in terms of quality, Quechua may have bested his famous son, Matrix! So our little guy was sired by a Quechua grands...
