ESTATES GRAY BEARD Gray Beard is a handsome medium silver-grey male who has luxurious fine handle, bright, long staple length consistent into his legs and underbelly. He is dense with enormous coverage on legs and body. His crimp is everywhere - head, neck, into his legs, and belly. What a joy to work with! I admire his incredible good temperament for being a proven breeder. At 6 years of age he is winning Championships based on the ability to sustain these gorgeous qualities. Gray Beard’s sire is none other than 17x Color Champion and 2x Judge’s Choice Winner, Aussie .38 Special. .38 Special is known to pass on his fine traits of brightness, fineness, density, and uniformity to his offspring. Gray Beard’s dam is true black NeverSummer’s Havana Nocturne, and in our Foundation Herd. Havana and Aussie .38 Special were on Carol Collins grey breeding program. Havana is a sister to NeverSummer's Black Ice, 2008 Futurity Color Champion and International Supreme Champion.

“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. Making him a 4th generation 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." “Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary. 7X BLUE Ribbons for GET of SIRE - This stud will bring success to every aspect of your breeding program!
