“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!

Ameretto is an outstanding male! We are happily keeping many of his daughters & a few of his sons in our program. As we look at his pedigree, it is no wonder we want to pass on these lines. He is the son of Snowmass XXXtreme LegacyXXX, a multi-champion & Judges Choice winner with 6 Get of Sire Blue ribbons, as well as Reserve Get of Sire Winner at the Futurity. Triple X is a deep, rich brown stud, with a balance of both light & dark colors in his pedigree, all from exceptional lineages. On Ameretto's paternal line, you have Snowmass XXXtreme Legacy XXX, Snowmass Conopa XXX, Snowmass Infinity, Snowmass XXXtreme, Peruvian Snowmaster, Snowmass Accoyocusani, Snowmass Royal Rose, Snowmass Legacy Gold, Snowmass Chiribaya. It was a great match when XXXtreme Legacy XXX and Ameretto’s dam, Snowmass Amberlight were paired. Amberlight has a big impact on the superior quality of Amoretto as well. His dam, Snowmass Amberlight is a Peruvian Bueno daughter with rich brown fleece fine as silk belongs to this girl. Ameretto's maternal grandsire Peruvian Bueno has been turning out award-winning cria since he was imported from Peru in 1993. Bueno's legacy is indisputable. We all know the Champions he has produced and the 14 Get of Sire's he has won over the years, & with Amber Glow as her Dam, this girl brings so many sought after genetics to the table. Beautiful, straight stature & a medium bone structure on a centric frame, gives this girl her appealing presence. Adding her other traits of buttery fine fleece, superior coverage & superior density make her a treasure to find at this time. At ten years of age, Ameretto has dense, lingering fine, bright fleece on a compact, stout frame. His disposition is gentle and calm. He has a uniform black color and loads of coverage all the way to his toes. It displays great uniformity, consistency of style, high frequency crimp. Ameretto is an excellent find for his age. He stamps this gorgeous fleece and phenotype on his offspring, along with a consistent crimp style, with most progeny being blue-black in color. In fact 88% of his offspring are black. Ameretto has sired champions and comes from champion lineage. Carrying the superior traits of his sire and dam, it shows that Ameretto has prepotent-lineage for top quality offspring. Ameretto and his offspring are fantastic at producing quality, black cria with all the traits desired by top breeders.
