When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother ... 'What will I be?
Will I be pretty,
Will I be rich?'
Here's what she said to me..."
And although she didn't actually break
into song, the message was there:
"Que Sera, my
dear - the future's not our see, whatever will be, will be." One thing is certain though - she never foresaw alpacas. She, for
sure, never said "Some fine day you will discover the joy of raising alpacas."
But, there you are...When people ask me now "How on earth did you get into
alpacas? I have actually been known to break into song -
Que Sera, Sera - but I'm thinking to myself,
'I've just always been
lucky.'
Altair's Vito
ARI # 851895
DOB November 20, 2003
Medium Fawn Huacaya
Proven Male
Dam: DPF
Macademia
A bay black beauty of royal
fineness who still had a micron
count of 19 at age 9.
Sire:
CL9 Altair A full Peruvian and ribbon
winner in his own right with
many award winning
offspring competing today.
Vito has a fine bright fleece, butter soft with crimp from his nose to his
toes. He has magnificent coverage and a density that is really
remarkable.
He has stunning conformation and a gorgeous, typey head. He also is a gentle
soul with a sweet disposition.
Vito uniformly throws his density
and well organized lock structure. We have a rainbow of colors in
Vito
offspring - he tends to throw the dam's color although not in every case and
he throws that teddy bear head about 50% of the time. All of the
offspring I have seen have his very correct conformation and "nose to toes"
fleece coverage and...well...we just have an awful lot of satisfied
customers.
Some discounts may apply - please call for
details. Mobile breedings within 100 miles of Santa Fe
may be available based on his schedule and current biohazard conditions.
Vito had a very successful show career. He
never placed lower than third in any halter class he entered and never
lower than second in the two national fleece shows he entered. Show
information is also available through the
AOBA web site.
When using show results as a criteria for choosing stud services or
purchases, we strongly encourage you to consider the whole equation. Look
at the size of the show, the level of experience of the judge(s), the size of
the class in question and the show experience of the other breeders competing in
the class. Not all blue ribbons are created equal. We are very proud of Vito's
show record, but he has a second place ribbon that I am just as proud of as
his championship ribbons.
Show results should be considered only one tool to be used in judging the
quality of any alpaca.
