PATAGONIA'S JUNEAU
Patagonia's Juneau is a 5x Champion and 8x Produce of Dam Winner! She comes from a long line of champions. Juneau's sire is the legendary Patagonia's Lennox, and her paternal grandsire is none other than Danko. Her dam, Preciosa of Lonepine Ranch, is a Yupanqui daughter. Preciosa received 1st Place Produce-of-Dam at Alpacapalooza 2007, and 3rd Place Produce-of-Dam at the 2007 AWE.

Juneau has a wonderful presence, tight uniform crimp, and a gorgeous head. She was referred to by Charlene Friedman at Alpacapalooza 2006 as "elegant".

Her follicle count is 61 follicles per SQ MM, with an S/P ratio of 10.8 to 1, and secondary fibers averaging 20.1 microns. Starlite, Juneau's half-sister, has a follicle count of 84.75 per SQ MM!

Show Career/Judge's Comments:
Juneau took 1st Place at IAO 2007 in the fawn color division judged by Dr. Julio Sumar, as well as the Grand Color Championship: "She is an impressive animal!" At the 2007 Alpacapalooza show, Judge Diana Timmerman's comments: "Very nice fleece and stylish conformation. You notice her the minute she enters the ring." At the 2007 AWE show, Judge Cathy Merkley: "I would love to have this alpaca on my farm. She is by far the most dense and has more fiber per square inch than any of the others." Judge Kevin O'Leary at the AOBA National Conference: "This female alpaca is head and shoulders the first place winner." At the 2010 Northwest Alpaca Showcase, Juneau won 1st Place, Huacaya Produce of Dam (Aurora and Arctic Rose). Judge Peter Kennedy said: "These two beautiful alpacas caught my eye the minute they walked into the ring. Extreme fineness & density, and strength of bone."
