Angelina (Island Alpaca Angelina)

Angelina has beautifully dense fine fleece, an incredible top-knot, a strong body and a terrific future.

Angelina, was awarded her fifth blue ribbon. Angelina, at the Empire Fleece event this year, topped even MFI Astovine, who took a R. Championship at the AOBA Fleece show! Judge Cheryl  R. Gehly commented that it is "Very fine, soft, and uniform" giving it an 18.5 out of 20 possible points for fineness and handle. 

Angelina sheared 5-1/2 pounds of fleece at less than one year of age. This was 6% of her body weight at the time of her shearing, and is very impressive when you consider that a typical alpaca shears under 4 percent of fleece in a full year of growth. Find her histogram attached for your review.

With a sweet and gentle disposition, and her good looks, Angelina also has outstanding heritage; Her sire, prestigious 4Peruvian Altiplano, is an import from the Sollocata region of Peru and has produced an amazing number of show winners, Angelina included! -- See here awards received last fall below.(She was not shown prior to this, we could have expected a lot more!)

Her dam, Desni, is considered one of our best foundation females, a devoted mother, which we can expect for Angelina, and is a blue-ribbon winner herself for "Get of Dam" in 2007.

For Angelina's spring breeding 2009, we partnered her with Maple Brook's Angelo (ARI#: 833149). Angelo combines the genetics of two of the most recognized Accoyo herdsires in the country, Caligula and Felix, along with the finest and most notable Allianza male in the country, Hemingway. At 15.9 micron at 8 months of age Angelo held his fineness density handle and coverage, and was awarded the well deserved Championship at the Big E in the Fall of 2003. Angelo's fiber won a blue ribbon, best brightness, champion and JUDGE'S CHOICE this year at the 2004 Empire Extravaganza.

Angelina gave birth in June, 2010 to a truly gorgeous little boy, Angelito. He carries on his dam and sire's angelic tradition, and has himself ribboned in competitive classes.

Desni D652 AOA

Desni is one of our most prized foundation females. She is a tremendous mom and has the most gentle disposition. Her body and presence are terrific.

She is the dam to Island Alpaca Angelina our blue ribbon / reserve champ gal!

She has been bred to IAC Calvin for a summer 2009 cria..

We expect the very best as she has passed along her most gentle nature onto all of her offspring.

4Peruvian Altiplano Gold

Altiplano Gold has been in Maine and Vermont--producing a New England staple bloodline. His offspring are highly sought after. His reputation for consistently producing high levels of quality in his offspring is unmatched by most males. He has an amazing ability to pass on positive traits in fleece and conformation--with over 90% of his offspring (or those with his lineage) placing first and second in tough local and national competitions. His cria have shown instant improvement over their dams. Even dams of the highest quality have crias that are a step up with Altiplano Gold as their mate--all the right positives to the right degree to produce the complete quality offspring. From density coverage architecture and crimp--fleeces are taken to the next level. Body types are improved with heavier bone and greater "type" in style.
