Dreadnought Daughter at Royal Progeny!

Sire: CCNF Dreadnought ARI#
35238706 Dark Fawn If we do our job right, every year there always is a core group of crias born into our herd that we know fairly quickly are *very* special. CCNF Dreadnought was part of that special clique within the 2015 birth class here at Cas-Cad-Nac and was one of the first -- but by no means the last -- alpaca born here to show just what a potent cocktail the genetics of CCNF Elixir and Snowmass Matrix Majesty could combine to make. Certain lines just work well together and Elix and Majesty have basically been having an epic genetic bromance ever since.
On his sire's side, Dreadnought brings in the genetics of the mighty CCNF Archangel, our our old foundation female 5Peruvian Cangalli (now deceased), and of course the inimitable Snowmass Elite Legend, who once upon a time also laid his head here at CCNF.
Dreadnought's dam, CCNF Prima Majesty though obviously a daughter of you-know-who, is maternally out of our now aging SuperNova daughter and former AOBA National Champion, CCNF Bellarina, whose mother in turn was our old rock star dam, PPPeruvian Pachelbel. So on paper and pedigree alone, Dreadnought is really easy to get excited about. Then you look at the package: dense and fine, with a highly organized fleece that just shines. He is in short everything we were looking and hoping for when we bred his parents together. As it turns out, we were even happy that he was born with testicles as well!
Fresh off of his final jaunt around an actual show ring where he was the RC Fawn Male at the 2018 Futurity, Dreadnought is now a proven Herdsire. If early returns are any predictor of things to come, we are nothing but bullish about what the future holds for this exciting Herdsire!

Description
Opaline is what you get when breeding 2 Futurity Champions together: in this case our beloved Snowmass Nova daughter, CCNF Opal, and Elixir/Matrix Majesty cross, CCNF Dreadnaught, whose first crop of crias from the 2018 birth class quickly served notice that Dreader is SO much more than just a pretty/soft/dense/uniform face! Though we are offering Opaline here at the Royal Progeny with a future breeding to any CCNF-owned Herdsire, we would probably be inclined to match this special girl with multiple Champion and Judges Choice winner, Irish Meadows Elite Max, whose amazing fawn colored dam, Ivy’s Honeysuckle, played no small part in our decision to partner on him in the first place! Opaline is of course offered with a full reproductive and subsequent live birth guarantee.
