Meet Andean’s Pegasus of Country Estates, a phenomenal herdsire ready to transform your breeding program with champion-level color and genetics. Pegasus boasts an elite lineage, tracing back to the legendary PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, and Snowmass Andean Bronze, all through his stunning true black "silky soft" sire, Snowmass Andean Midnight. His fiber quality is truly exceptional: incredibly soft, shiny, and possessing a uniform low amplitude, high frequency crimp style that must be experienced firsthand to be believed. Demonstrating his sustained genetic superiority, Pegasus has consistently ranked in the Top 10% EPDs from 2021 through 2024. Pegasus' sire, Snowmass Andean Midnight, is a renowned "Fineness in Black" stud, highly valued for his ability to retain elite fineness, brightness, and handle with age—a rare quality in black alpacas. Midnight is a beautiful, compact "silky soft" male with an outstanding royal pedigree specifically selected for fineness. His fiber is incredibly soft, shiny, and features a uniform low-amplitude, high-frequency crimp. This superior quality is rooted in a "Vicuna" lineage, with Midnight being a half-brother to the revered Snowmass Royal Bronze and tracing back to the incredible Snowmass Andean Bronze, a sire known for throwing true blacks and whose progeny retain fineness under 20 microns even after maturity. Midnight himself exhibits excellent conformation, with good bone coverage, a correct bite, and a dense topknot, passing these desirable traits along. Pegasus is a proven champion in his own right, securing Color Championship banners at the prestigious International Alpaca Odyssey for three consecutive years (2012, 2013, and 2014). Beyond his show ring success, he is a highly sought-after, proven champion producer. His crias are consistently "dynamite," inheriting his beautiful, soft crimp and making their own mark in the show world. This was evident at the 2015 TxOLAN show, where Pegasus' three dark-colored progenies achieved an impressive 2nd Place in the competitive Get of Sire class, a significant achievement against a field of white competitors.
