ESTATES BLACK VELVET - SOLD

PATAGONIA'S SAMBUCA Sambuca is a beautiful show string quality True Black female. She is true black in color with an extremely soft hand and consistent crimp throughout her fleece. Sambuca brought home a 2nd Place ribbon from the 2011 AOBA National Show. Her sire, Vittorio has a stunning head. His fleece has incredible density and a uniform, high-frequency crimp. Vittorio is sire by Nishio, the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year and the 2007 Reserve All-American Herdsire of the Year. His dam, Querida is a 3-time black champion. Sambuca's dam is a fine, true black female whose fleece is still soft to the touch at 16+ years of age. Alpacas de la Patagonia say that it is females like Black Velvet, that they brought to this country from Chile, that have helped them achieve dark colored alpaca fleeces that maintain good fineness as they age into their second decade. For her next cria, we paired Sambuca with our AspenAlpacas Earl Grey. She is due in November 2025. Offspring: On 6/8/2015, Sambuca had a beautiful TB female sired by R&RTROJAN 52T.
