In 2015 we decided the time was right to bring a herdsire of the highest quality into our herd. After much consideration we pulled the trigger and bought half interest (proudly co-owned with Snowmass Alpacas LLC) in Snowmass Velvet Touche (Son of Snowmass Touche (Sire) and Snowmass Royal Splendor (Dam)). We loved him SOOO very much we bought the other half. He is now solely owned by Happy Hounds Alpaca Ranch.

This extremely pre-potent male has gifted us with amazing cria's in every color from White to Rose Grey.

We had the pleasure of purchasing this girl at the LAST Parade of Champions held in Oregon and could not be happier. This girl is rock solid. She has amazing conformation that is combined with an incredibly high character fleece that is bright, dense, and has an amazingly soft handle. Tanzania was born with an impressive pedigree- Sire is the amazing 3 time AOBA Brown Color Champion Accoyoc America Jason and her dam is Accoyo Nautilus daugthter. It was a no brainer for us to buy her to breed our 6 time CC/RC 38's Totem NS. We are so looking forward to that cria. 2013 Histogram-AFD 18.6, SD 3.2, CV 17%, Fiber>30 0.5%

This male has an amazing fleece, excellent conformation and beautiful head. He is Snow Diamond Absinthe, son of 7x champion CCNF Elixir who also is 2x judges' choice winner. Absinthe already has won two color championships and a judges' choice award in his first show season. Snowmass Matrix Majesty and CCNF Archangel run in Absinthe's dam's pedigree. Judges in two fleece shows have recognized Absinthe's "fine fleece with great uniformity" and "his high degree of fineness and uniformity." In a walking fleece competition, he had three perfect scores and one score that was just a point away from perfection. First crias on the ground in 2021 and winning in the show ring in 2022! Absinthe's two histograms were: 2018 AFD 13.8 SD 3.0 CV 21.7 >30 0.3 2019 AFD 13.8 SD 2.9 CV 20.9 >30 0.3 And check out those EPDs! Not too shabby. They don't come much better than this.
