Her exceptionally soft, fine true black fleece, broad chest & correct bite complement her winning presence. She offers the attractive combination of proven show performance, fleece quality & sound conformation that breeders seek in a foundation female.
Her sire, true black 6x Champion Patagonia Estates Sakima, is a proven producer of elite show alpacas. His offspring include 12x Champion Estates Sakima's Braxton, 5x Champion Estates Zorro the Magnificent & 4x Champion Estates Barcelona Beauty. Sakima also sired Estates Wind Beneath My Wings, the 2025 AOA National Dark Supreme Champion, 3x Judge's Choice & 7x Champion!

She is by 6x Champion Irish Meadows' Peruvian Carbon Copy, a son of 19x Champion Avalon's Jacob Black, and out of Hobby Horse Evening Shadow, another accomplished producer.
Black Widow's offspring demonstrate her remarkable ability to produce champions with different herdsires.

Cherry Blossom adds two Black Color Championships to this already distinguished maternal family.
