“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. Making him a 4th generation champion! In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated, "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion." “Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary. 7X BLUE Ribbons for GET of SIRE - This stud will bring success to every aspect of your breeding program!

Gibraltar of FJA is truly gorgeous. He has the fineness, long staple length & density with a strong frame for the complete package. He was handpicked along with 7 other studs from Amber Autumn’s herdsires. Gibraltar was special enough that we used him for breeding immediately upon arrival. He may have originated from a smaller farm, but was impressive enough to seduce the owners of Amber Autumn & now us. His genetics are top-shelf & he had a fantastic start to his show career. We are thrilled to have him at ACE! Everything stands out as you view Gibraltar. First of all, he has a correct but very stout & macho frame. His chest is broad & he has great capacity. His coverage & bone are phenomenal. He is fluid in his movement & blessed with a muscular build. Gibraltar’s fleece is just as impressive. Super dense, fine, uniform fleece with a long staple are the hallmarks of his fleece. It also has moderately high frequency & high amplitude to the crimp style. These traits come naturally from his well aligned pedigree. Gibraltar descends from generations of elite Snowmass genetics! He is out of 5X champion Snowmass Best in Velvet (whose offspring have earned a judge's choice awards & amassed numerous color championships.) The Snowmass Velvet Touche - Snowmass Best in Velvet - Snowmass Best Man line is one of my favorites & includes some of the most noteworthy names in the alpaca industry! His paternal grandsire, Snowmass Velvet Touche, is just sensational! His accolades include 2014 Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, 2015 Futurity Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year, & 2015 Futurity-1st Place Get-of-Sire Dark! Velvet Touche is not only well-known for being a multiple Color Champion winner at Futurity, but also for putting champion offspring on the ground. Gibraltar’s great grandsire, 5x champion Snowmass Touché, was the high selling Huacaya at the 2010 Futurity auction! Gibraltar’s dam, CSAF Peruvian Grand Gigi, is a daughter of AML Principios Grand Torina. Her grandsire AML El Duro’s Principio, is an 8x Champion. On his maternal side, ancestors of note are Victor’s Vaccoyo, PPeruvian Victor, Accoyo PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Accoyo PPeruvian Camillo, and 4P Legacy. Judges Ken Hibbits & Diana Timmerman awarded Gibraltar a coveted Judge's Choice trophy at the 2018 Buckeye Fall Fest. He has also been recognized with 3X Color Championships during his stellar show career. Genotype: Ee Aa Proven Champion & Blue-Ribbon Producer!
