Some alpacas distinguish themselves through exceptional fleece. Others through outstanding phenotype. Estates Golden Scandinavian XXX has consistently demonstrated both. His repeated success in halter & walking fleece competition, combined with elite 2025 EPDs, reflects the balanced combination of fleece quality, structural correctness & Huacaya phenotype that progressive breeding programs strive to produce.
Sired by Amber Autumn Hot Chocolate & out of Estates Scandinavian Highlander XX, Golden Scandinavian XXX combines influential Snowmass genetics through CCNF Legionnaire, Snowmass Matrix Majesty, Snowmass Pure Passion, Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX & Snowmass Best Man, bringing together generations of selective breeding for lasting fineness, density, structural correctness & exceptional fleece quality.
Golden Scandinavian XXX has compiled an impressive show record, earning multiple First Place ribbons in both halter & walking fleece competition. Highlights include First Place honors at the CABA Classic in both Halter & Walking Fleece, First Place WF at the Wild West Alpaca Show, & First Place Halter at the Golden West Alpaca Expo. He has also earned top placings at The Futurity, AOA National Show & Buckeye Alpaca Show, demonstrating the consistency breeders value most.
Judge Wade Gease perhaps summarized Golden Scandinavian XXX best after evaluating him at the 2025 AOA National Show:
"Oh, when I first touched this guy, it was like ohhhh... heavenly soft. Really that buttery soft hand is on him, & such an attractive head style. Another one I just want to make into a cute toy."
Those comments perfectly capture the qualities that have defined Golden Scandinavian XXX throughout his show career. His exceptional softness is complemented by impressive brightness, density, uniformity & a stylish Huacaya phenotype.
Golden Scandinavian XXX's objective genetic evaluations further distinguish him among his peers. In his 2025 EPDs, he earned Top 5%, Top 10%, Top 15%, & Top 25% rankings across multiple fleece traits, providing objective support for the fleece quality consistently recognized in the show ring.
The strength of those EPDs is reinforced by a pedigree with a proven history of elite fleece performance. His paternal grandsire, CCNF Legionnaire, was a 9x Champion, five-time Judge's Choice winner, Futurity Champion & AOA Reserve Champion. Legionnaire recorded AFD: 17.9, SD: 3.4, CV: 21.2, %>30: 0.5 & MC: 58.6, while still maintaining an AFD of 17.3 & SD of 2.5 as a six-year-old breeding male, demonstrating the lasting fineness this genetic line is known for.
For breeders seeking a young male backed by elite genetics, outstanding EPDs & proven show-ring success, Estates Golden Scandinavian XXX offers an exceptional combination of remarkable softness, balanced phenotype & influential Snowmass genetics, making him an exciting prospect for the next generation of elite colored breeding programs.
