Sire: Snowmass Velvet Touche ARI#
31778664 Light Brown In 2015 we decided the time was right to bring a herdsire of the highest quality into our herd. After much consideration we pulled the trigger and bought half interest (proudly co-owned with Snowmass Alpacas LLC) in Snowmass Velvet Touche (Son of Snowmass Touche (Sire) and Snowmass Royal Splendor (Dam)). We loved him SOOO very much we bought the other half. He is now solely owned by Happy Hounds Alpaca Ranch.

Dam: Snowmass Almandine ARI#
32123685 Dark Fawn Bought this girl at the Snowmass Auction 2012.
Snowmass Almandine is an uncommon Gem sired by the great Snowmass Matrix Majesty.
She is a unique smokey dark-fawn with roan points, and amazing color consistency.
Her fleece is simply stunning in its density and fineness just like her Sire and Dam, Snowmass Fineness Matters-YES fineness matters indeed!
Almandine is finally here in CO and she does not disappoint. Her fleece is amazing and her presence is incredible. We look forward to showing her in 2012-2013.

Description
If you are looking to add size and phenotype to your black breeding program look no further because H2R Velvet Trouble has it in spades. She has been gifted with an incredible presence, bone, and a gorgeous head. Let's not forget to tell you about her very long stapling fleece that has a super soft silky handle. Both her parents are multi-champions so it no surprise to us she would continue to follow in their footsteps. So the choice is yours, put her on your show string, or heck she is large enough you could breed her now. She comes with a non-transferable breeding. We suggest the incomparable (currently closed) Snowmass Everlasting Paramount.
