Principio is a handsome male who has a gorgeous fleece, a beautiful head, great coverage, density and is phenotypically correct. And don’t take our word for it, the judges agreed since he was an 8 time undefeated halter champion. But it doesn’t stop there, as we all know a herdsire is judged by his offspring and Principio has impressed in this aspect as well. The first five crias of his which we entered in the show ring all won either blues or championships. Now that’s a producer. Principio has quickly established himself as one of our best fleece producers (and that’s saying something) Principio is going to be a great producer for us for years to come.

Troy is the product of a pairing between the legendary Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose & Zephyrus daughter, Amber Autumn Tehya. This male is truly the next generation herdsire for the absolute discerning breeder! We were thrilled at the opportunity to add this supreme quality & genetics to the ACE herd. Troy’s prestigious awards include 2019 AOA Nationals Color Champion & 2019 Futurity Reserve Champion! In all but one show, Troy won a banner! We have selected top quality females to breed to Troy, but his outside breedings are closed. We also have several extraordinary, beautiful females bred to Troy & select offspring available for sale. Troy's sire, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose, is an exceptional 12X champion including the 2012 AOBA Nationals Color Champion & 2012 Futurity Color Champion. Sizlin Rose also won 2016 Huacaya HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR & 2017 RESERVE HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR. Sizlin Rose’s offspring have been awarded nearly as many banners as the number of his offspring (180+.) He has produced numerous AOA Supreme Champions. Troy is a paternal sibling to other top males (Red Granites Val D LSere, Crescent Moon’s Sizzlin Shak, Liberty’s Manifest-Destiny & Red Granites Innsbruck). Troy's maternal grandsire, 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, is a 10x Color Champion including 2005 FUTURITY RESERVE HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR! In Troy, we are not only getting Sizzlin Rose but the prepotent genetics of stud-dam Tehya. Troy's maternal great grandsire is none other than full Accoyo PPPeruvian Royal Fawn. Hand selected by the late Dr. Jim Vickers; Royal Fawn was the only light fawn Accoyo ever exported from Don Julio Barreda’s herd. According to Barreda, Royal Fawn ranked as one better than he had ever produced at Estancia Accoyo in Peru. PPPeruvian Royal Fawn was the 1999 & 2000 Get-of-Sire winner at the AOBA National Show & record-breaking highest selling male in alpaca history in October 2005. Tehya, Troy’s dam, has produced top-notch herdsires such as: Troy (Sizlin Rose,) Terrill (El Principio,) Taylor Made (Eclipse,) Turbo Tribute (Silver Signature,) Duke of Earl (Eros,) & Thunderstruck (Ameretto.) Showing the magnitude of the prepotency from his sire & dam’s genetics. Troy is exactly the exceptional herdsire expected from this prestigious pairing & premier ancestry. His phenotype displays extreme coverage, thick bone (tree trunk legs,) a broad chest, correct conformation & stellar head style. His legs are straight & bite correct. A very dense, true black fleece covers his compact & stout frame. That velvety fleece opens into a very uniform, bright fleece, displaying a beautiful consistent crimp style & very few large primary fibers. Troy has a wonderful temperament & is always ready to breed. Many of his daughters are retained in our herd & we are pleased to see Troy’s influences passing though his offspring to their cria. His son, Amber Autumn Ringmaster is in our stud row. Troy is throwing about 50% black or grey cria across all dams.
