Derwydd Alpacas proudly co-owns this fantastic male with Delphi Alpacas and Prairie Moon Alpacas. Zeppelin is “STAYIN in California!” He'll be standing stud at Derwydd Alpacas from November through April so reserve your breedings now! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to be able to have Zep breeding at Derwydd. Its going to be a busy fall 2017 here at Derwydd, so if you plan on a fall breeding with Zep, reserve early, as we will only be doing a set number of breedings to him, then he gets to rest till Feb when he starts again. He will be leaving end of April 2018. Zep has been mainly used in a dark breeding program. We are very interested to see what he can do over White/Light! Really looking forward to that retained fineness across all colors in our herd. Zeppelin offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone Zeppelin is the 2013 AOBA National Black Male Fleece Champion and sire to multiple champion offspring. With his FOURTH fleece, Zeppelin won the 2013 AOBA National Black Male Fleece Color Championship. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg on his accomplishments! Here are some of his fleece statistics - Zep’s Histograms: 2009: AFD 15.7 / SD 2.8 / CV 18.0 / 0.2 % >30 2010: AFD 16.9 / SD 2.9 / CV 16.9 / 0.4% >30 2011: AFD 17.7 / SD 3.3 / CV 18.4 / 0.8 % >30 2012: AFD 19.8 / SD 3.9 / CV 19.7 / 2.1% >30 2013: AFD 20.4 / SD 4.1 / CV 19.9 / 3.0% >30 Zep’s Shearing Weight: 2009: 6 pounds total = 7.2 pounds annualized 2010: 9.5 pounds total = 8.75 pounds annualized 2011: 10.1 pounds annualized 2012: 10.8 pounds annualized His cria have been 'collected' by some VERY prestigious farms! – His first cria to ever show, fawn Zeppelin’s Rainsong, purchased by The Alpaca Group, won a color championship at her first show! – We are honored that Zeppelin’s genetics have also been chosen by Pacific Crest Alpacas / Accoyo America. – Snowmass Alpacas purchased from Delphi Alpacas (our co-owners of Zep), one black Zeppelin daughter and 3 black females bred to Zeppelin; as well as a female bred to him from another farm. - The pick of the litter in 2012 at Delphi was Deltana – a fawn with the kind of fleece you dream of. She’s off to the great breeding program at A Paca Fun Farm! Zeppelin has over 106! cria on the ground so far, and he is throwing a lot of black. 43 black cria! Out of the dams that were black (18) he only threw lighter (LF,MF & DF) 3 times.. so ya, he covers a LOT o black to pull black out of other colors 28 times.. Literally has no registered White crias! But regardless of color, with Zeppelin it’s ALL about the fleece quality he throws in his cria - and just how marketable that makes them! NPA Tessla, a 2011 cria sold for $18,000 at auction in 2012, shortly after winning Color Champ, Best Brightness and Best Hand at the Alpacamania Fleece Show (Tessla’s yearling histogram: AFD 12.7, SD 2.0, CV 15.6, %>30 0.0)! His dad, PHA Peruvian Taos, a stunning Legacy

Derwydd Danu!!! A solid foundation female out of MATRIX MAJESTY'S MR XXXCITING... can't beat that Matrix line! Her Dam is Derwydd Akupanas Qilitta, a 6x champ, and a Bueno granddaughter! Danu has a solid frame, lovely head, balanced, easy to handle... I can't wait for her first cria!! Danu had a really short show career, as 2016 was not the best year for us here at the farm, and so we did not get out much! But she took home 2 solid 2nd places.. in the 2 shows she did get to go to. Very respectable histogram this year (2017) AFD 21.9 SD 3.8 CV 17.6 CF 97.6 !! Danu has been exposed to BMF Taos Zeppelin, we think it will be a fantastic pedigree cross AND we should get some deep color oohh and retained fineness cause Zeppy throws that too! Danu has black on both sides of her pedigree! Its really hard for me to list her for sale here.. but biz is biz! Danu just delivered a BLACK!! FEMALE!!! And her name is BREATHLESS, Danu has be rebred to LuTau! We hope with Luciano back in that pedigree we get APPY!!! Danu just delivered a Brown! FEMALE!!! And her name is Resurrection, what a story there was there! Danu has be rebred to LuTau! We hope with Luciano back in that pedigree we get APPY!!! Danu is the only dam I bred to LuTau that I currently have for sale. So! After 2 cria who needed resuscitation post birth, we are voting Danu out of the breeding pool. We do not recommend she be rebred, thus her reduction in price. She still has a lovely brown fleece, shearing just over 9lbs! total fleece weight.

Gorgeous Classic Grey Male! To say we are excited about Chicago is an understatement. Besides his beautiful phenotype, and bright, dense, well structured fleece........his genetics are just not available in our area. Chicago is a compact male with very solid bone structure and a mighty fleece. The fleece is dense, fine, consistent and has amazing structure. He finished his show career with Reserve Champion Banners in the Jubilee and the Gala at MAPACA 2018. Chicago now has registered crias and almost all are classic grey or black. His genotype indicates that he does not carry dilution so that's not a surprise. All the crias have solid bone and conformation and exciting fleeces. The crias we have here are looking very exciting and the owners of all the others are very pleased. In fact, all breeders of his first crop have repeated the breeding at their farms. We invite you to come get your hands on them. We hope they will convince you to add Chicago's uncommon and outstanding genetics to your breeding program. He looks like he's prepotent for color, conformation and fleece characteristics. We have his some of his crias for sale and he is currently open to outside breedings. Chicago's first cria to hit the showring earned a !st place and RC in her first show. Congratulations to Seven Acres Alpaca Farm on Chicago Blues' banner. The first of many banner winning offspring. Crushed Velvet, another black female was awarded a CC in her first show. Seriously, you don't want to miss adding his genetics to your breeding program. We will consider selling half-interest in Chicago. Color Genotype EEa3a2
