“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. Making him a 4th generation champion! In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated, "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion." “Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary. 7X BLUE Ribbons for GET of SIRE - This stud will bring success to every aspect of your breeding program!

All we can say is Wow! Scepter has been showing an outstanding phenotype with extraordinary coverage & amazing head since he was first dry. His fleece is incredible as well. Pairing Ringmaster over our Pure Passion daughters we expected beautiful offspring, but Scepter is the cherry on top! He repeatedly overcomes each new expectation we have for him. Currently an 12x Champion & 5x Judges Choice Winner, Scepter is also a 6th generation champion. The complete package! It all comes down to a perfect pairing of genetics. His sire, AA Ringmaster, is wowing us with his first crop of cria in almost every color. Ringmaster is a multi-champion, multiple Get-of-Sire winner who has produced multiple champions! He is a stocky build, with thick bones, excellent coverage, perfect conformation & stunning head. His fleece has excellent uniformity, staple length, high frequency crimp, excellent fineness & density. He has Two traits in the Top 10% & 3 in the Top 15% for 2024 EPDs. This is all passed down from the superior quality of his sire, AA Troy & Principio daughter dam, AA Rosemarie. This pedigree is full of champions including MR Sizlin Rose, Matrix Rose, Matrix, Quechua, champion-producer AA Tehya, 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, Snowmass Sizzlin Hot, Snowmass Nova’s Private Reserve, & 4P Legacy. These genetics continually produce champion after champion! His dam is a powerhouse of genetics as well! Estates Passion for Kandi is a Snowmass Pure Passion daughter. She has FIVE traits in the Top 5 or 10% for 2023 EPDs. Passion was the pinnacle of fawn breeding for Snowmass Alpacas. He embodies everything you want in a herdsire. At 16 he still carries incredible crimp style & density with a very fine, uniform fleece. Plus, his phenotype & coverage are as impressive as many yearling show alpacas. At 15.5 years of age his histogram had a 21.8 AFD, 4.0 SD, 51.7 CRV, & a 96.6% comfort factor. He is still producing champions! Scepter’s maternal grandsire is Judges Choice, 7x champ & 5x get of sire winner, Patagonia’s Ernesto. This line crossed with Ringmaster also produced our champion Regal Prince. Notable ancestors include champions Patagonia’s Lennox & Nisho. Scepter is clearly displaying the traits that are associated with his pedigree. He has a stout, square frame with great chest capacity, a straight top line & legs & appropriate testicle size/shape. His coverage, stance & head are exceptional. He has a perfect bite & easy-going but macho personality. His fleece has a uniform & consistent high frequency crimp style through an extended blanket area. It displays superior density, extreme brightness, very soft handle & is very fine, with excellent uniformity of micron. The primary to secondary population ratio is very low & comparison of primary to secondary fiber micron is also very similar. All these traits extend down into his belly. Genotype: ee aa We expect Scepter to pass on his prepotent traits. We are anxiously awaiting his crias!
