I had long coveted the lines of CCNF Elixir and those of his legendary sire, Snowmass Elite Legend for their proven production of award-winning alpacas. When the opportunity to acquire a male from these lines was offered, I didn’t hesitate! Alpacajoy Excelsior is one of the first-born offspring out of CCNF Elixir, 5x Judge’s Choice and 3x HoTY, and his only son in Canada. His elite pedigree on his sire’s side traces back to CCNF Archangel, Snowmass Quechua, and 5Peruvian Cangalli. His dam, CCNF Chiquita, is the matriarch of one of Alpacajoy of Norway’s best lines, producing offspring still winning championships at the age of 5 (Alpacajoy Epiphany – Excelsior’s ¾ sister). CCNF Chiquita is a direct daughter of Futurity Champion, Snowmass Messiah, and a granddaughter of Snowmass Accoyocusani. The award-winning descendants from this line in Norway have an impressive show-record history… He showcases a very dense fleece with highly aligned crimp, fineness, great staple length and longevity. With no guard hair on his frame, Excelsior will bring great qualities into our breeding program. Although his show career was cut short while he was in quarantine to be exported to Norway, Excelsior was unbeatable in the Light category, winning Light Colour Champion both times. He attained the score of 83/100 in fleece show with his 3rd fleece. As a breeding male, Excelsior produces offsprings with improved density, barely any visible guard hair on them, superior staple length and wide chest. In 2023, he has improved every dam he was bred to, and will be put on our best females during the 2024 season. With his fawn colour genotype, when bred to whites, his crias are often beige/light. Colour genotype: Ee AA

Akyrima is one of the two daughters we have left in our herd from Aristo Milady Theodora, our very first female. The other one happens to be one of our bests, Reserve Champion Lady Aure du DNA. She is a very tall and strong female with bright black eyes. Her fleece kept all its interesting qualities with time. Even at her 9th fleece (2021), we can still find a very fine and well-organised crimp and staple length for age. On papers, Akyrima is the result of an interesting genetic combination of “older” Canadian genetics: Alpamayo, Vaccoyo and Coyo Destini. Her crias have nice conformations and fleeces. Her 2020 son, Akeeto, has the look to capture your attention as well as a gorgeous dense fleece. Akyrima was left open for 2021 as she caught a pneumonia during summer 2020. Her 2022 daughter is simply a KNOCKOUT! Just wow!!! That fleece at birth on that frame! She delivered another nice looking Excelsior daughter in 2023. She's priced without cria, but could be added to an additional price... I have retired her from our breeding program.

Altitude is perhaps the closest thing we’ve achieve to his legendary grandsire, MMR Marcoyo. Marcoyo was one of a kind in the early 2000’s, siring many Supremes and Champions (including Futurity Champion, AOBA National Reserve Champion, and Judge’s Choice Qolmesa Peruvian Crystal). When we had the opportunity to buy a share in this beautiful male, we couldn’t refuse. Altitude as his grandson embodies several of Marcoyo’s great qualities giving him the potential to carry his legacy. Altitude inherited Marcoyo’s impressive frame, poised to develop into a massive and solid male. With the same highly defined crimp style, staple length, and impressive density, he is full of rolling skin on his neck. Combined with a pleasing fineness and handle, his bright fleece stands, so far, as one of my favourites within the 2023 cria crop. His *other* grandsire – on his paternal side – is even more special! Red Granites Val D’Lsère stands has one of the leading herdsires in the North American industry, which adds another great dimension to Altitude’s genetic makeup. Altitude started his breeding career in June 2025. No pressure young man: your name got called for our top 2022 female, Miss Aucean Tides du DNA…
