Congratulations to Steve & Casey Aitchison, of Epic Alpacas, on their purchase of Parisian Paradise Estates!
PARISIAN PARADISE ESTATES
Parisian's fleece has good structure, density, crimp and staple. She took 2nd Place at the 2012 International Alpaca Odyssey in Commercial Halter – Huacaya Female Weanling. She is on the smaller end of the spectrum, has a calm temperament and is an easy keeper. Parisian is a good mom, births easily, and has lots of milk.
Parisian’s sire is Snowmass Nova’s Galaxy. Galaxy is a compact male with massive head and leg coverage, and solid bone. He has a perfect bite and nice temperament. He’s the perfect package with wonderful bone, density and structure. His baby photos grace the file of Snowmass Alpacas’ favorite faces file. His dam, Snowmass Chacasha, a ribbon winner herself, produces ribbon winners – Snowmass Simply Scrumptions Grand Color Champion 2008 IAO. Galaxy’s sire is none-other than Snowmass Nova out of Peruvian Casanova and Snowmass Drambuie’s Kaluha. Nova is one of Snowmass’ original black premier herdsires and is a producer of champions.
Paradise is currently bred to Snowmass Andean Midnight, whose crias have luster, fineness, and unique character on top of his excellent true black genetic package of brightness and handle. Snowmass Andean Midnight is a beautiful, compact jet true black, silky-soft male who holds an outstanding pedigree for fineness. His fiber has a uniform low amplitude high frequency style of crimp. His grandsire is Andean Bronze, the sire of Royal Bronze - from Snowmass' vicuna type alpaca retaining fineness under 20 microns after reaching maturity. In the show ring, Andean was awarded 1st place in AOBA, 2008; 1st place and Reserve Color Champion at IAO, 2007; 2nd place at Futurity, 2007. Her due date is September 6, 2012.
Update: Paradise gave birth to a handsome male.
