We have had skin biospy's done by Dr. Norm Evans on dam Seena's cria with the following results:
All of their follicle density's were over 77.5 follicles/mm! Their S/P ratio's were an astounding 9.00/1 or better. All of their secondary medullated fibers were 5-% or higher and all have awesome gland density. "These alpacas have many powerful genetic traits", per Dr. Norm Evans.
Glory was bred to Snowmass Enlightenment and had a MRG female cria on 4/8/13 we named Reina Perfecta. Reina took 1st & Color Champion at MIAF this fall at 7 months old. Reina was consigned to the AOA National Auction in March 2015 and sold to the Grey Company $13,000. She then went on to win Reserve color champion over 50+ gray females, and also was reserve Color Champion at Mapaca.
She was bred back to Frango on 5/31/13 and had a handsome black male cria, El Capitan.
The cria is not included in this sale.
She is now being bred back to Snowmass Enlighenment to hopefully produce a carbon copy of Reina.

Description
Dark Rose Grey Champion | Elite Genetics | Proven Producer
Sapphire is a stunning Full Peruvian dark rose grey female with elite genetics and an impressive show record. She is a ½ sister to Enlightenment’s Reina Perfecta, a 5-time Champion grey female out of Seena’s Pride & Glory—placing her in one of the most respected grey-producing lines in the country.
She is sired by Casanova’s Peruvian Frango, a multi-Champion grey herdsire and son of Snowmass Casanova, further strengthening her already powerful pedigree.
Sapphire has developed into an elite-quality female with exceptional density, crimp from skin to tip, and near-perfect conformation. She truly represents the best traits of her lineage—combining the strength and presence of her champion relatives into one outstanding dark rose grey female.
Her show career speaks for itself—3 shows, 3 Championships, and 3 banners, all as a juvenile.
Sapphire has continued to prove herself in production. In 2022, she was bred to Diamonte and produced a beautiful dark brown female who sold at just 2 months of age. In 2024, she was bred to Snowmass Occult and delivered a promising brown male who is expected to perform well in the show ring.
For 2025, Sapphire was bred to FT Gunner, a Color Champion and Zagato son, and delivered a cria on May 7, 2025. She is now rebred to Snowmass Occult and is due for an August 2026 cria. This pairing offers strong potential for producing high-quality dark or grey offspring with elite fleece traits and conformation.
Sapphire is the complete package—champion genetics, proven production, and exceptional phenotype. Females of this caliber are rare and highly valuable for any serious grey or dark color breeding program.
