Unabashedly I fell in love with this guy on a casual stroll through the show grounds in Denver, CO. When I was asked if I wanted a closer look, I thought why not, just looking. Then of course couldn't stop thinking about him. His fawn sire at almost 3 years of age 17.6 micron with 4.2 SD and extremely bright & crimpy. (I wanted to post pictures of both of their fleece shots but couldn't choose a picture to delete of Romeo himself! Needless to say, I pressed the "buy" button.

Zurich is just one of those girls you think is special just looking at her. She is a gorgeous color and has a special story and place in her prior owner's heart partly due to the TLC that she needed early on. We feel fortunate to have added her to our foundation.
For her first breeding we decided to take a gamble on color and bred her to our dark fawn guy BOA's Aslan. Something in their faces and stature just spoke to me as being a good pairing. I was pretty certain when seeing the two ... |

This guy's dam is one of the cutest alpacas around. Not once, but twice with different males, she has birthed babies loaded with fleece and we mean really loaded, besides absolutely adorable ! We loved this guys older sister and thought about a repeat breed but decided to go for a bigger sized guy. Zurich, his dam is dark silver grey, with great fleece coverage but she is petite or height challenged, so we chose tall, dark and handsome Dancing Elk's Romeo. We were not sure if this guys fleece would go rose grey but considering his color consistency scores we think he is bay black. With his coverage and wrinkled body, despite his small size at start, he looked like herdsire material to us early on.
We need to upload video of his bright springy, crimped fleece. You open up that fleece and the crimpy matchstick type bundles spring out! We refer to Romeo's Raise the Roof as "Roofus". He has always been big in personality.
We showed him at Gold Country Gathering and he took a first place in Bred and Owned and a 3rd in walking fleece. Even though he got a 3rd he actually scored higher than two of our 2nd place winners - very commendable scores 19/20 in fineness handle 7.5 uniformity of micron and brightness 8 in crimp... We entered him at GWAS and he took a 1st place in his class of 6, (against industry greats) Judge Diana Timmerman commented he is receiving mostly all top scores. He received a total of 71.5 points of 80 with 5 of 4 uniformity of length, 18.5/20 fineness/handle. 4.5/5 secondary to primary range, 5 of 5 absence of fibers greater than 30 a 8.5/10 uniformity of micron, 8.5/10 crimp 4/5 density 8.5/10 brightness and 4/5 color consistency 5 of 5 damage. We are so excited about these scores in such a dark color - the uniformity, fineness & secondary to primary ratio. His fall score card was a point lower (marked down for color uniformity) which doesn't surprise us with grey on both sides of pedigree, but still awesome density and micron uniformity. He has a few confirmed pregnancies just before we received an offer on his purchase.
His histogram from his 2022 shear was 23.5 and 4.8 SD a 90.5 CF.
