Red Granites Royal Son - Sold (Deceased)

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Reserved on October 14, 2021. This stunning dark roan stud with brilliantly bright fleece comes from highly selective combinations of elite Peruvian color genetics. Snowmass Reserved's sire, Snowmass Royal Reserve, linage provides indisputable excellence in colored huacaya alpacas. Two memorable "uncles" are Snowmass Royal Challenger and Snowmass XXXtreme. Snowmass Royal Reserves dam line is equally notable. Snowmass Reserved's paternal grand-dam, Snowmass Canagalli Rose, was a Futurity Champion and came from Peruvian Import, 5Peruvian Cangalli. The Cangalli breeders were very well known for some of the finest colored alpacas ever imported. Snowmass Reserved never placed below a first place in halter classes. Overall throughout his carrier, he had won five first-place ribbions and three Championship banners, two of which were awarded to him at the 2009 and 2010 Futurity, the other at the 2010 Great Western Alpaca Show. His long-lasting fine, dense, bright fleece always drove him to the top of his class, which is what he passes on to his offspring. Snowmass' description of Snowmass Reserved at the 2010 Genetic Advancement Sale: Snowmass Reserved is one of those cries we were excited about from the moment he was born. He was truly one of the most impressive dark colored males born to us in 2007. His name was easy as we knew right away he was a KEEPER so "RESERVED" became his name. His sire, Snowmass Royal Reserve, is a brother to Snowmass Royal Challenger and showed and stood hand in hand in Championships with Royal Challenger at each of the shows he was in. Snowmass Royal Reserve is unique to his brother in that his dam is one of our finest Peruvian Cangalli lines produced. Cangalli is a breeders name in Peru that proved to carry some of the finest color alpacas we had ever screened for purchase and why we named the first import we purchase from this breeder Peruvian Cangalli. We bred Cangalli to Accoao Snowmaster and produced Snowmass Cangalli Rose who took Color Futurity Champion in her day, all of which makes Snowmass Reserved's sire lineage so influential. Snowmass Reserved's dam, 5Peruvian Tapara is a highly selected and screened 5Peruvian import that we also selected to purchase for her very fine color fleece. With only 29 offspring registered under AOA they have won a total of 39 Championship banners and 58 First place ribbons.
