Zamboni as a yearling - Fleece below

ZAMBONI OF ARTIC ICE

Zamboni is the son of our Canadian girl Aztec D'Anna, whom we bought at the Canadian Futurity from Aztec Alpacas.  We have waited a long time to have a dam like D'Anna and her breeding to S.Accoyo Artic Ice made her even more desirable. (See D'Anna below with Zamboni at 3 days old)

Zamboni's siblings from Artic Ice were in three different classes at the 2008 Canadian Futurity and took first in all three. One was a full sibling, Aztec Arctic Impact, and his 1/2 sibling Aztec Inukshuk, took Grand Cchampion in the whites.  In 2009, Artic Ice was the highest winning male.

Zamboni's fleece is extraordinarily soft, crimpy, and bright.  His curls go right into his belly, up to his head, and down to his toes.  In this photo above, he is only three weeks old and already his presence is felt.  He has dense bones, a solid frame, and a beautiful head.  

Now, after winning a White Color Championship at 9 months of age against very impressive competition, Zamboni has grown into a stunning young male and will join our other herdsire's The Lad, Axtion Jaxon, and Adrenalin the spring of 2010.  We will breed him to both white and color - can't wait to see the results!

He is a four time Reserve Champion and a winner of the Get of Sire - rare for a true black.

THE JUDGE

In 2005, Sara Jane received her certification to be an AOBA Judge qualified in all four areas: Huacaya halter, Suri halter, Fleece, and Performance.  Since then, she has judged at over 25 shows across the U.S. and Canada, including two assignments at the National AOBA show judging fleece.

Sara Jane enjoys using the opportunities in both the fleece room and the show ring to educate breeders and help them improve their breeding programs.
