CONSIGNED TO THE BREEDERS EDGE AUCTION ON AUGUST 23RD. HE WAS THE SECOND HIGHEST SELLING ALPACA OUT OF 77. Enterprise son... criated to amaze! Eros... the Greek god of erotic love. It wasn't by accident that he was named Eros. We believe that he has a bright future ahead of him as a topnotch herdsire. Yes, I know it's early but all indications are that he is clearly headed in the right direction, both conformationally and fiber-wise; and most certainly with attitude! At the end of the spring show season and at the tender age of 12.3 months, Eros has earned eight blue ribbons and five championships. I'd say that's a respectable start! And, the best thing is that he has this coming fall and spring to add to his collection of blues and banners before he even turns two and begins to think about breeding. At his first show, the New Jersey Alpaca Classic, he was awarded his first blue ribbon AND the light reserve champion ribbon. Even more appreciated were the words of praise that the judge lavished on him. To paraphrase senior judge Jude Anderson, “When Jude Anderson (her words) awards a championship to an alpaca that has just been weaned (referring to the fact that he was the youngest in his color group) it must be a very special alpaca, and this is a very special alpaca.” At his second show where, where once again he was the youngest in the class, he was honored with first place AND fawn reserve color champion. Judge Helen Humphries acknowledged that he was the most complete package in the class, along with being the finest in his class. She mentioned his excellent fleece structure and said that he was well grown for his age. At the CABO show in February, he again was awarded the blue where he competed against some of the most highly recognized farms in the country in a large class of 12. Senior judge Amanda VandenBosch was highly complimentary of him. Keep your eye on him... he's spectacular!

“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!
