Dam: NPA Vignette ARI#
35413493 Medium Fawn Elite Dark Fawn Female | Proven Champion Producer
“I told myself—don’t try and sell it if you wouldn’t buy it yourself.” That standard speaks for itself when it comes to NPA Vignette.
Sired by Accoyo America Tronador, known for producing exceptionally beautiful and statistically high-quality fleeces, and out of EVA Silhouette (bay black), Vignette carries a powerful genetic package that consistently delivers. Her rich dark fawn color and phenotype reflect the strength of both sides of her pedigree.
Vignette is a well-grown female with strong, correct conformation and excellent fleece coverage. She maintains density, uniformity, and balance—making her a solid foundation female for any breeding program.
Where Vignette truly stands out is in production. She has proven herself as a consistent producer of high-quality, show-winning offspring. Bred to the 10x Champion Zion, she has delivered exceptional results time and time again. Her 2023 cria, Happy Mondays, is a Color Champion, setting the tone early for her production record. Her 2024 true black male, Carpe Diem, is a standout with excellent conformation, fineness, and density. Despite being out of beige and fawn parents, he presents as a true black and has already made his mark in the show ring—earning Color Champion and Reserve Champion in his first shows.
Continuing that success, her 2025 cria, Pearl, has already earned Color Champion at Michigan Alpaca Fest and Reserve Color Champion at the Michigan Meltdown in Spring 2026.
She is currently re-bred to Zagato son Champion Zion for an August 2026 cria, and we are excited about the continued potential of this proven pairing.
Vignette is the kind of female that moves a program forward—combining strong genetics, correct conformation, and a proven ability to produce champions.
