Sire: Crescent Moon's Donato ARI#
31068468 Light Silver Grey Donato represents spectacular genetics no matter what color, but as a Grey, he is amazing. I sold his mother to Crescent Moon in 2005, perhaps a mistake! When Coco Chanel produced Donato, I knew I would like to get her genetics back on my farm. We all realized Donato had star power early on. Sleek and macho good looks, meant all that remained was the growing up. Well grown-up he did, into a beautiful specimen of handsome style, off the chart density, and fineness and crimp to covet.
The Crescent Moon family and I collectively have great hopes for this Futurity Champion. Donato’s excellent density is a starting point when talking about his glossy and silvery gray fleece. Part that density and you will find advanced staple development, good fineness and abundant definition within the staple. Donato means gift and we have seen enough alpacas to know that he is just that!
Dam: Snowmass Sweet Dreams ARI#
840860 Medium Silver Grey Snowmass Sweet Dreams is one of the Grand Dams of the Grey alpaca world. She is a daughter of Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, one of the country’s top grey males, who won the 2003 Futurity Herdsire of the Year award, and later sold for $147,000. Sweet Dreams was one of Snowmass’ top Grey females, winning 2004 Grey Female Halter Champion at The Futurity, 2004 AWE Grey Female Halter Reserve Color Champion and 2005 Grey Female Fleece Reserve Color Champion at AOBA . Before Snowmass sold her at their 2007 auction for $44,000, she produced two of their top grey males Silver Signature and Royal Dreams.
Sweet Dreams has thrown a grey female out of Snowmass Royal Bronze and a black female when bred to Orlando Cloud’s fawn brother. Out of ten cria, she has produced seven Greys and three Blacks, proving her amazing ability to pass on phenomenal color genetics - even when bred to a brown or a fawn!
We are very proud to own Sweet Dreams, one of the most consistent and finest producers we have, but with our need to downsize, we reluctantly are offering her for sale. She is an older gal, but she continues to produce beautiful cria. For Sweet Dreams’ 2014 cria we’ve bred her to ATV Silver Elation. We think this is a spectacular combination as Silver Elation continues to produce champions and paired with Sweet Dreams, we expect a winner. Don’t miss out on this special female.
Description
Oh My, Sweet Dreams does it again! We did a repeat breeding to Crescent Moon’s Donato and to our DELIGHT, we got a Silver Grey Female this time. We just adore this little gal and of course would like to keep her in our herd…but downsizing requires those difficult decisions.
This, however, creates a wonderful opportunity for you. Delight is the product of two Futurity Grey Color Champions, Donato - an 8X CC/RCC, and Snowmass Sweet Dreams - a 3X CC/RCC. That is an impressive background. Delight combines these amazing herdsires: Adonnis, Roosevelt, Camilio, Bueno, Casanova, and that is just the boys! Delight sports a very dense and bright fleece with nice character. She has great conformation and I just love her presence. We are having fun halter training her, she is just a cutie, and will miss her when she does leave the farm. Buy her now and show her in the spring!
