Description

Congratulations and many thanks to Autumn Sun Alpacas for their purchase of 2x Champion, Estates Passionate Charlemagne at our inaugural ACE's Loaded Auction! Charlemagne is a rare dark roan from Pure Passion. Not only that but she checks all the boxes.

Charlemagne is beautiful from conformation to fleece. To start, she has an adorable face, absolutely covered in fleece and fuzzy ears. Charlemagne’s sweet personality and calm demeanor match her face. Her top line is straight and her proportions correct. She has good bone, excellent coverage, and great capacity. Her bite is spot on. She is a roan with a shades of silver moving down her neck. The handle on her fleece is exquisite with a silky, well-nourished feel. She has incredible density, great staple length, and a heavy fiber weight for her size and age. She is really packing on the fleece. Within that bright fleece there are tiny bundles of very fine fibers. The fleece has a high-frequency crimp style and great organization that stays the same across her blanket. She is really something special.

Passionate Charlemagne’s sire, Snowmass Pure Passion is a cornerstone of ACE’s breeding program, a male who still turns heads at 16 years of age. “Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC. Pure Passion’s 15.5-year-old histogram results are impressive: 21.8 AFD 4.0 SD 20.7 SF 18.2% CVD 8.0microns CEM 0.8%<15 96.6 CF 51.7 CRV 37.6 SDC. The proof of his excellence is in his progeny. He has sired many multiple champions and judges’ choice winners in an array of colors. Some of his most notable progeny are Estates Legacy Rose 2021 AOA Dark Supreme female recipient, Estates Passionate Fever a 3 x Judges Choice winner and 14 x Champion, and Estates Pure Reflection a silver grey 9x champion. Like her siblings, Sweet Charlemagne carries that gorgeously fine fleece and phenotype from her sire.
Her dam, Sweet Charlemagne has fantastic genetics as well and is a great mother and easy birther. Sweet Charlemagne is a larger sized female with good bone, soft handling fleece, and good uniformity. Her sire is Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates, whose genetics include PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, Snowmass Andean Bronze, and Snowmass Andean Midnight.

Sweet Charlemagne's maternal grandsire is Patagonia’s Ernesto, a magnificent Judge's Choice, 7x Champion and 5x Get of Sire award winning light brown male. Her maternal line also includes the legendary herdsires Patagonia's Lennox and Nishio. She has had multiple black cria and we are very impressed with her daughter, Passionate Charlemagne.

Passionate Charemagne has amazing potential. She was a 2x Champion in 2024! She comes with full farm warranties and her maiden breeding. We would pick Amber Autumn Hot Chocolate or Patagonia Estates Sakima, who is closed. Histograms & Color Genotyping results soon.
