ESTATES MALAGA'S MASTERPIECEXXX
Masterpiece is the only son of our gorgeous Estates Picasso’s Duke Malaga available in the USA. Duke accumulated 3X Judge's Choice & 14X Champion during his show career (including JUDGE'S CHOICE at the 2023 FUTURITY)! Duke has it all: stunning phenotype, excellent frame, heavy bone substance, fabulous genetics, incredible depth in his pedigree. Duke was exported to Poland just as he was starting his breeding career, so this is a rare opportunity indeed. Masterpiece's paternal grandsire is our incredible 9x Champion - Estates Legendary Picasso, a gorgeous light fawn possessing a fine, consistent & dense fleece. Picasso carries the impressive genetics from PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, Snowmass Andean Bronze, Patagonia's Ernesto, Patagonia's Lennox, Nishio, Cava Guivir Zorro, & our very own Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates.

His dam, J Creek You’re The One I Want, is a stunning Pure Passion daughter and one of our top breeding females. She is an excellent dam with an impressive phenotype and recently won a Blue Ribbon for Produce of Dam. Masterpiece's maternal lineage boasts of almost all Snowmass lines: Snowmass Matrix, Snowmass Conopa XXX, Snowmass Royal Challanger, Snowmass XXXtreme & more. His maternal grandsire, Snowmass Pure Passion, is our most proven champion producer at ACE. Passion has been recognized with numerous Get of Sire blue ribbons! Out of our 1,000 alpacas, we selected our top 250 to be part of our breeding program & Passion's genetics are in approximately 50% of this group.

Masterpiece is proving to be a chip off of his famous father's block...We are extremely proud to announce that Estates Malaga's MasterpieceXXX brought home a banner for Best Bred and Owned male at the 2026 TXOLAN Alpaca Spectacular. Judge Jacob Hart commented, "Really impressive fleece here. It’s a long stapling fleece, very soft handling, extremely fine, and maintaining the level of uniformity between the fineness and the overall character across the entire blanket. He is maintaining an extremely, extremely long fleece, and he is organizing extremely well for that length. As I work my way down to the base of the staple, it’s extremely bright, very uniform within the level of character as I transition from the shoulder to mid-side into the rump. Even transitioning further down and up the pole there on the neck and towards the topknot. Really impressive male here. He currently holds 4x Best & Bred Awards. Masterpiece has also won 13x Championship banners and numerous blue ribbons, including back-to-back Blue Ribbons from the 2025 & 2026 Futurity shows! Please continue to watch for this rising star on our show string.
