Red Granites Patina is an exceptional female who represents the best of Peruvian alpaca genetics. Her pedigree reads like a who's who of legendary alpaca imports, with her genome predominantly influenced by four superstar Peruvian sires: 4Peruvian Legacy, 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite, PPeruvian Vengador, and Peruvian Hemingway. These renowned males have had a profound impact on the North American alpaca industry, and their presence in Patina's lineage places her in a class of her own. With genetics like these, it's no surprise that she has developed into a truly elite animal.

Patina has lived up to every bit of her impressive genetic potential. In 2023, she was our top-performing alpaca in fleece testing. Her fleece came in at an astonishingly fine 14 microns, coupled with a remarkably low standard deviation of 3.1, indicating superb uniformity and consistency across her fleece. These fleece traits are not only indicative of superior genetics, but they have also remained steady as she has matured, something that is highly prized in the breeding world. Her ability to maintain fineness and uniformity into maturity speaks volumes about her long-term value as both a show and production female.

She is sired by none other than Red Granites Creed, our celebrated AOA National White Champion, known for producing animals with highly advanced fleece qualities and refined conformation. On her dam’s side, Patina is out of Red Granites Phosphorescence, a direct granddaughter of Crescent Moon’s Shiftin Gears, another highly influential male recognized for his outstanding phenotype and density.

In terms of physical presence, Patina is a standout. She is a well-grown and robust female with excellent capacity, giving her the kind of frame that supports long-term reproductive and fleece productivity. Her phenotype is just as impressive as her fleece—well-balanced, stylish, and correct in structure, she exemplifies what we strive to produce in our breeding program.

Whether evaluated on her fleece metrics, genetic background, or physical traits, Red Granites Patina is a premier example of excellence in modern alpaca breeding.

She comes with a maiden breeding, and we’re offering several top-tier pairing options to suit your breeding goals. For a stellar color cria, we recommend Red Granites Aragon (EeAa3) or Ironhide Vapor (EE a2a3)—a 10-time Champion son of Aragon who Cadence is now being made available for the first time! If your goal is to produce an elite light offspring, consider pairing her with Red Granites Bojangles or RGR Colo Lsere By Val D Lsere. Any of these choices would complement Patina’s exceptional quality and elevate the genetic potential of the next generation.
