In 2015 we decided the time was right to bring a herdsire of the highest quality into our herd. After much consideration we pulled the trigger and bought half interest (proudly co-owned with Snowmass Alpacas LLC) in Snowmass Velvet Touche (Son of Snowmass Touche (Sire) and Snowmass Royal Splendor (Dam)). We loved him SOOO very much we bought the other half. He is now solely owned by Happy Hounds Alpaca Ranch. AWARDS: 2010 Futurity Brown Reserve Color Champion, 2011 Futurity Brown Futurity Color Champion, 2013 IAO Brown Color Champion, 2014 Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, 2015 Futurity Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year, 2015 Futurity 1st Place Get of Sire Dark. This extremely pre-potent male has gifted us with amazing cria's in every color from White to Rose Grey.

Gale is a farm favorite for sure. He's really coming into his own. He is so laid back and go with the flow. Sure, he's got the fiber stats and great bloodlines, but our favorite part is his face. He's got the full fiber covered head and the judges love it! We're truly hoping he passes it down to his offspring. Gale is always happy while hanging out with his pen mates, HiStyle, Iolite, and Z. He is going to make some beautiful babies, so if you want your chance to make the cutest puff balls ever, let us know. Velvet Pearl is set to give birth to his first cria any day now. Keep checking on the website and social media to see when the cutey arrives. *** We will NOT sell any cria separately from their mother until they are fully weaned. We will NOT sell any single alpacas, including cria, to anyone that does not have an already established herd of alpacas. We will be happy to help you start on your alpaca journey with mentoring that will lead to you purchasing a small group to start a herd, check out our Alpaca 101 Tour on our website.***
