Details
Maximus by Zagato’s Zumba is a standout True Black Huacaya male who has quickly dominated the show circuit, punctuated by his prestigious win as the 2025 AOA National Walking Fleece Color Champion. A five-time Champion before even reaching maturity, Maximus has proven his elite fiber quality across the country, earning Color banners at MAPACA, Buckeye, and the North American Alpaca Show. Judges consistently recognize his superior handle and structural uniformity, frequently placing him at the top of highly competitive classes of up to 25 entries.

His exceptional phenotype is no accident, as he carries a "who’s who" of alpaca royalty in his pedigree. His sire, Alpaca Palace Zagato’s Zumba, is a 9x Champion and 2x Judge’s Choice winner known for passing on incredible density and fineness.

On the maternal side, his dam, Evelyn Dee, brings a legacy of buttery-soft fiber and champion production. With legendary names like MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite, Jeremiah’s Peruvian Jumanji, and the 6x Herdsire of the Year Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah in his bloodline, Maximus represents the pinnacle of black Huacaya breeding. Still unproven, this young male offers a rare opportunity to integrate generations of Herdsire of the Year excellence into a breeding program.

Maximus by Zagato's Zumba is proudly co-owned with Road Runner Rascals Alpaca Ranch.
