Khan D'Or (Khan D'Or of Island Alpaca)

Island Alpaca Khan D'Or is truly a "golden-boy" As his nickname implies, he is the closest we have seen to a literal golden fleece. Super lustrous he has revealed a micron of 16.7.

This in fact should be no surprise, as his lineage speaks for itself. His mother, Golden Frida, is the daughter of Legacy Gold. Frida has very correct conformation, as Khan D'Or does, and she is a  large boned female who had Khan D'Or entering the world at over twenty pounds!

Hands on the "Gold" you will find evidence of the quality she has produced in this amazing male.

Khan D'Or's Sire, Aga Khan has won 11 championships over a 4-year show period before being retired from the ring in 2006. In 2007, his crias began claiming their banners and winning for Khan, 5 first place Get-of-Sire wins so far with many, many shows still to go.  His value has continued to increase, actually greatly increase over the last 4 years. With the performance of his crias in the show ring, many breeders have gained even more of a serious respect for him, as you will have with Khan D'Or.

Put this wonderful genetic line in your herd, with Khan D'Or in 2012. (Aga Khan now resides in Florida).
