AMBER AUTUMN NATILLAS Natillas is the daughter of Snowmass Silver Signature, the "elite grey” from Snowmass Alpacas, used as the standard of excellence in their silver-grey breeding program. Signature is a beautiful, compact, typey male whose outstanding genetics include Snowmass Royal Flush, Snowmass Andean Bronze, 4Peruvian Andean Gold 6019, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, and Peruvian Bueno. Her maternal grandsire is RFA Turk who has sired many champions. Natillas' maternal great grandsire, Jolimont 2 Peruvian IVANO, is one of the most well-known Studs in Canada. IVANO had a perfect conformation, well-boned structure and superior teeth. IVANO’s fleece was super dense and kept an exceptional characteristics retention with age. In fact, he had an incredible AFD of 25 at 12 years old! IVANO provided a fantastic improvement in the fleece quality with color retention for his crias (from White to Black). IVANO, himself decorated, had produced many offspring who won several championships in Canada. This well-known Full Peruvian Herdsire sadly passed away in 2007 making his rare lineage less accessible. Offspring: On 3/9/21, Natillas gave birth to a pretty LSG female sired by 5X champion, AOV Accoyo Eros. On 5/9/22, Natillas gave us a beautiful MRG female also sired by full Accoyo multi-champion, AOV Accoyo Eros.

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! MC1R + ASIP Genotype: Ee AA COVID interfered with Hot Chocolate's show career, but that didn't stop him from earning 2x Get of Sire Blue Ribbons for his exceptional progeny! Hot Chocolate 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!
