Description

“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent Light Fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect colored fleece on the most beautiful bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion." Now he is in the pastures of J Creek Ranch. If you are looking to reproduce the excellence of Pure Passion, please contact us here at J Creek Ranch. Home to the World's Finest Alpacas. . . . “Tom and Lisa Davies have worked very hard to establish their foundation herd with tremendous depth in genetics, while searching for the highest quality fleeces. A fine example of this is the introduction of Snowmass Pure Passion, a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground for them.” ~ Kevin O’Leary, River View Alpacas, Alpaca Show Management Services, Alpaca Judge, New Hampshire
