GENETICS: "Latte's" dam Paradise Ridge Chaccuna (ARI: 832574), is a 5Peruvian Chaccu (deceased 2011) daughter and a Vengador granddaughter.

"Latte's" sire PHA Maximus (ARI: 830927) is full Peruvian (3/4 Accoyo) Max is a white Camilio son, and his dam is Peruvian Duchess a multiple Produce of Dam winner by Accoyo El Moustachio.


PHENOTYPE: "Latte" is not a large male. His solid compact frame is well balanced and he presents proud carriage and presence. Although we don't consider it a flaw others might, so we need to mention that "Latte" carries a quarter-size rose gray spot in his blanket.

FIBER: "Latte" has excellent dense coverage head to toe. On his second fleece he sheared 10% of his body weight. He is passing his bundled high frequency, high amplitude fiber characteristics on to his progeny. His only two cria have the two lowest micron counts on the ranch.

Latte's 2010 white female "Latte's Kizmet" is an absolute knock-out (see side bar picture). Her fleece is exhibiting all of Latte's positive characteristics...high frequency and amplitude and dense with tight bundling. Her 2011 histogram report: AFD 17.6, SD 4.6, CV 25.9, %>30u 1.5

Latte's 2012 light fawn male is the "spitten image" of his sire. Absolutely gorgeous fiber...fine, high frequency and amplitude with tight bundling.

Latte's 2014 light fawn female "Miss Kizzie" is exhibiting the same high frequency, high amplitude, dense and tight bundling fleece as her siblings. Her first histogram report: AFD 16.7 SD 3.7 CV 22.3 CF 99.5

Latte's 2015 white female is also "stamped" with Latte's highly desirable fiber qualities...high frequency, high amplitude, dense and tightly bundled fleece.

In 2018 Latte and our white foundation female Luluy created a "knock out" light silver grey male. Pistol is a carbon copy of his sire except in grey. Same fleece characteristics, same striking phenotype, and same presence. He is everything we could have hoped for in this breeding and more.

TEMPERAMENT: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and have no concerns about the temperament "Latte's" offspring could inherit from him. He is quiet and e
