AMBER AUTUMN HOT CHOCOLATE What a handsome package! This erect, solid frame, large bone male has a beautiful phenotype with fantastic coverage! Then opening up an extremely fine fleece, consistent with uniformity of microns across the blanket is a true joy! Check out Hot Chocolate's DENSITY! Holy Moly! You would have to see the most elite alpaca to compare. Hot Chocolate has TWO traits ranking in the Top 5% EPDs in 2023 and FIVE Traits in the Top 10% EPDs for 2023! Unfortunately, COVID interfered with Hot Chocolates show career. Both of Hot Chocolate's parents are Champions and he most likely would have been a 4th generation champion. He is the son of 9x Champion, CCNF Legionnaire, a 5-time Judges Choice winner as well as a Futurity Champion and AOA Reserve Champion. Legionnaire's 2018 micron test was AFD: 17.9 SD: 3.4 CV: 21.2 %>30: 0.5 and mean curvature of 58.6. He passes on amazing fleece traits including superior density to all his offspring. Hot Chocolate’s paternal sibling has the highest density from a skin biopsy ever recorded at 127.2 follicles/mm. CCNF Legionnaire is sporting a very Elite and stunning linage. Hot Chocolate's paternal grandparents are Snowmass Matrix Majesty (Snowmass Matrix X Snowmass Simply Scrumptious) and 10X Champion, CCNF Magdalena (Snowmass Legacy Gold X PPeruvian Jesusa.) His dam, Amber Autumn Holly Ho, won multiple Blue-Ribbons in 2014-2015, as well as 1st place and Reserve Champion at the 2014 Best of the US show. Hot Chocolate's maternal grandsire is a numerous Blue-Ribbon winner, Eclipse Alyst (out of Australian import, Jolimont 2 Peruvian Sweet William). Amber Autumn stated: "We purchased Eclipse Alyst because of his color, pedigree, and incredible dense fleece that has luster, handle, staple length, and very nice fineness. Eclipse always shears our heaviest weighted fleece even at 8 years of age and is still holding his fineness nicely." Hot Chocolate’s first offspring have arrived and while there are only a few, they are gorgeous. We are astounded by their density, glowing brightness, independent bundles and micro-bundling, beautiful crimp and style, uniformity, and extremely fine fiber. In fact, their fleeces each have superior traits in all aspects. This covers beautiful frames with correct conformation, great coverage, and strong bone. Hot Chocolate is also producing offspring usually darker than the dam. The darkest is currently dark brown. We can’t wait to utilize these prepotent genetics next season and see more cria! Watch for his cria in our show-string and contact us for a breeding to create a stunning cria of your own! News Flash! His son, ESTATES VINCENT VAN GOGH recently won 2nd Place at the 2024 AOA National Show!

SNOWMASS ANDEAN MYSTIC XX Andean Mystic is the perfect dam to introduce the genetics of top white and light sires into a darker breeding program. Not only is her fleece phenotypically superior, with exceptional fineness, density and a high curvature style, but she also has that valuable no-dilution genotype. Andean Mystic had 3 traits in the Top 5% EPDs in 2022! Her sire is Snowmass Andean Velvet, a typey and incredibly prepotent sire whose hallmarks of production are extreme fineness and density in darker color. Andean Mystic’s dam has helped consolidate these elements in her genotype, contributing the genetics of Matrix Majesty and Everlasting Paramount among others. It’s so easy to breed a female like Andean Mystic, who has so many positive attributes locked in place. She’s even prepotent for color because she does not carry dilution or black and will not produce white. We consider this female perfect for increasing the range of genetics that you can bring into a fawn or darker color breeding effort. Color Genotype: EE AA We purchased this beautiful female at the 2022 Parade of Champions - Here is a link to Lynn Eden's video description of her:  SNOWMASS ANDEAN MYSTIC XX Offspring: On 6/7/23, Andean Mystic gave birth to a beautiful light fawn female sired by Snowmass Bernacelli. On 9/6/24, Andean Mystic presented us with a lovely dark fawn female sired by Amber Autumn Hot Chocolate.
