    1st Place Winner

    Sweet Pines Springs

    Huacaya, Female, Proven | White

    AOA# 30457171   D.O.B. 9/17/2005, Full Peruvian

    Sire:
    Spanish Peaks Alpha Centauri 
    | AOA# 832512  | White  |
    Peruvian - A.C. is an ultrafine white male with soild genetics for fleece quality. His grandfathers, Accoyo Peruvian Victor and Peruvian Hemingway, are well known for consistently producing top quality crias with extraordinary fiber. His sire, Snowmass Peruvian Oscobar, is a show champion, known for his extremely bright and fine fleece. A.C. has the most beautiful, soft, silky, fleece with density, extreme luster, long staple length, extraordinary handle, fineness, and a beautiful deep amplitude interlocking crimp along the entire length of the staple.

    Dam:
    Pacifica's Malia  
    | AOA# 810366  | White  |
    Malia is retired and currently enjoys her elder years in a beautiful green pasture at our friend's ranch in Orofino, ID. Her information is listed here for reference.

    Malia is a full Peruvian out of Peruvian Aladdin. She has proven to be an excellent mother with an ideal temperament. We adore Malia's elegant look and are thrilled with the quality of her offspring. Sweet Pines Springs, her 2005 cria, took first place in the Fiber Odyssey Spin-off 2006 & 6th place in the National AOBA Spin-off 2007. Austin, her 2008 cria, is a gorgeous beige male out of Grazing Hills Maximus. He has wonderful conformation and crimpy soft fleece (18 microns) that we LOVE to put our hands on every chance we get. Luckily, Malia also passes on her friendly, docile personality - a trait that makes for personable and easy-to-handle crias.

    Deceased


    Description

    Springs was one of our best white producers. She consistently produced well-conformed, extremely fine white offspring who ribboned in both halter and fleece shows. She passed away in winter of 2025 but is listed here for reference.

    Springs threw offspring with phenomenal fiber every time. Lovely brightness, fantastic density, luscious soft handle, and consistent bold, attractive crimp throughout the long staple length.

    Her sire, Spanish Peaks Alpha Centauri is an elite result of Snowmass breedings. He throws champion offspring with long staple length, incredible luster, density, and fineness even when he produces color.

    Springs' first cria, Avalanche, has long, bright, crimpy, incredibly soft, blue ribbon winning fiber just like his dam. He was literally up and running in 12 minutes after birth. We were thrilled with this very healthy boy and bred her back to El Campeon twice, which resulted in Trooper, another vibrant white boy with fantastic fleece, and Lumina, an extremely dense, soft, daughter with excellent bone substance. Springs also produced a healthy female cria out of San Simeon, son of Rico Suave, a line known for extreme fineness (<14 microns).
