Description

North Plains Alpaca's Peruvian Sydney is an excellent example of success in strategic breeding! We set out to breed Sydney’s fawn dam, Aconcagua to one of the “finest” dark males we could find, BMF Taos’ Zeppelin (owned by Delphi Alpacas). He is a male with extraordinary fleece qualities, consistent, low microns, low CV’s, and an impressive “zipper” style crimp character. Zeppelin may be a bay black, but it wasn’t the dark color that we were breeding for, it was fleece! Fleece! Fleece!

Pedigree is an added bonus with Sydney as she comes from a line of well-known herdsires such as, Accoyo Legacy, El Moustachio, Peruvian Midnight Express, Caligula, Kilimanjaro, and Drambuie. A quality packed pedigree, beautiful fine fleece, along with natural good looks!

For her next pairing, we selected our wonderful AspenAlpacas Earl Grey. Sydney is due in November 2025.
