When you are looking for outstanding quality, pedigree and color in a herdsire, Snowmass D'Artagnan should be your choice. He exhibits extremely dense, fine fiber that is very uniform throughout in its architecture. All this in a male that carries himself with gusto makes D'Artagnan the complete package top to bottom! He is the son of the incomparable Snowmass Andean Bronze, the premier brown herdsire in the North American Alpaca Stud program, and a full Accoyo dam, CPI Accoyo Pearl. While inheriting fiber attributes from his dam, he is very much cut from the same cloth as his sire. Andean Bronze is an exceptional dark colored male whose fiber is like velvet and the handle on this young male is as remarkable. His sire's one-year histogram reported an AFD of 17.7 with a SD of 4.4 and a CV of 24.9. At four years there is minimal change to an AFD of 20.5 with a SD of 4.0 and a CV of 19.6 demonstrating the low blowout rate this line possesses. Andean Bronze has once again demonstrated his ability to pass these attributes to his offspring in D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan in turn is now passing them on to his own offspring. They are beautiful and consistantly winning ribbons in large competitive shows! D'Artagnan is proudly co-owned with Shalimar Alpacas of Warwick and Whirlybird Alpacas.
