Well I finally succumbed! We have added Snowmass genetics to our breeding program. One simply cannot deny the strength of their breeding program and I really needed some excellent dark genetics to cross back against upcoming Iron daughters. I had to opportunity to handle Mr XXX's fleece in a recent fleece show and I was simply WOWED..so when the opportunity came up to grab this guy.. I simply could not resist.
Snowmass ROYAL LINEAGE! This pedigree is just STACKED with it. MR XXXciting's sire Matrix Majesty is the genetic amalgam of some of the greatest names to ever grace the North American alpaca herd. Herdsires such as Chaccu, Legacy, Hemingway, Quechua, Matrix, Elite, Augusto, Accoyocusani, and Bueno are all present. Also present in his pedigree are the famous rock star dams PPP Prestige, 4P Isabella, and Snowmass Maree Love.
Then you look at the dams pedigree! XXXtrorinaire boasts Snowmass XXXtreme as her sire giving us Hemingway again, Royal Rose and Rose Pearl to add to the stack of incredible Snowmass.
And like his sire Mr XXX displays the amazing fleece characteristics that the Quechua line has become known for; the combination of elite fineness and uniformity throughout while sacrificing nothing in fleece density. Top that off with a lovely head, square frame, big bone, a super mellow personality - whats not to love!
So if you want to kickstart your dark colored breeding program - this is the male go to. His dam is black, he is dark brown, so he will throw black, brown and fawn.. I just can't WAIT to breed him to grey.. the Rose Greys I expect will be utterly fantastic. We are offering Mr XXX at an really low intro fee to get his progeny on the ground.. so plan a breeding with him this spring!
