His royal fineness...
Sire: Polaris Chino is a Blue Ribbon winning blend of quality Chilean and Peruvian bloodlines. Chino's father, Polaris, was a Blue Ribbon winner at CABA 1999. Polaris' sire is the legendary Hemingway and his dam is Ppperuvian Impatiens who won Produce of Dam at CABA 2000. Chino's own dam Mia, was originally from Alpacas de la Patagonia and was chosen for her exceptionally strong, straight conformation and her glossy blue-black fleece. His dam Mia's sire is MacIntosh. Macintosh, (owned by Pacific Crest Alpacas) is well known for winning 5 first place ribbons in the 1996 AOBA National Fleece Show, including Black Huacaya 1st Place, Best Luster, Spinner's choice and Cottage Industry's Choice. Chino's dense fiber is cobweb fine with an unbelievable micron count of 14.4 (YES, I REALLY said 14.4!!!) and a CF of 100% and this is all from his second shearing at over 1 and a half years old! He has coverage from his toes up to that cute fuzzy face and also has nice vicuna style crimp all the way up into his top knot and his fiber even has great bundling! Just when you think his fiber can't get much better...it DOES! Part his fleece and you can see wonderful brightness which helps add to his very luxurious feel. We look forward to Chino "refining" our fleeces with his exceptional vicuna style fineness! You can see his histogram for 2005 here. I absolutely love this boys look in addition to the wonderful fiber. His head is very typey with great coverage, he has a major case of cuteness going on!!! Chino has only been entered in one show and that was the AOBA National and his fleece won a Blue Ribbon against some VERY tough competition!
UPDATE!
