How to keep improving our breeding program- that’s the challenge we are all facing as breeders. Snowmass Royal Challenger, the 2004 Futurity Color Champion, has  proven himself by producing the next generation of elite colored huacaya alpacas.  Son of  Snowmass Royal Rose, one of the top Studs from the North American Alpaca Stud Group, Royal Challenger hails from a long line of “greats” including Hemingway and Bueno. Challenger’s dam, PPPeruvian Edelweis is a grand dam in her own right- a long time producer of champions. Royal Challenger consistently passes on his superior phenotype and fleece attributes to his offspring - superb conformation, awesome coverage, fineness, high-frequency style crimp,  long staple length and beautiful brightness. Until now, Royal Challenger’s outside breedings have been extremely limited. We will be offering a total of  3 outside breedings to Royal Challenger, exclusive to clients, for the remainder of 2008. Additionally, one breeding will be available to the community at large at the rate of $7500.
