Meet Royal Prince Charming XXX, an elite male alpaca whose royal lineage and breathtaking quality make him a true standout. Born from a "perfect storm" of grey genetics, Prince Charming is the son of two multi-champions and descends from a long line of industry legends.
His sire, Irish Meadows' Peruvian Showtime, is a premier grey stud and a back-to-back Futurity Color Champion with eight banners to his name. A son of the infamous Jacob Black (19 championships) and Shades of Grace (10 championships), Showtime is renowned for his "grey-fibered" fleece and incredible 16.4-micron first histogram. Showtime’s progeny are dominating the show ring, including champions like Irish Meadows Crusade (12 banners) and offspring who continue to bring home blue ribbons in the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Prince Charming’s dam, Royal Ruby, is a "crown jewel" of the grey breeding world. A 2023 AOA Invited Champion and winner of two Judge's Choice awards and five Championship banners, she is a genetic powerhouse. She is the daughter of Champion herdsire Amber Autumn Troy and Andina Rayanne, combining the best of Snowmass lineages. In 2024, her EPDs ranked in the Top 10%, 15%, and 25% for key traits. She is already a proven champion producer, with her son, Estates Giovanni's Titanium Royale, earning a Judge’s Choice award in 2025 and holding 35 championship titles.
Prince Charming is a standout specimen, combining elite fleece characteristics with a robust and well-proportioned physical frame. His fiber is bright, extremely fine, and very consistent within the blanket! It boasts a long staple length and remarkable density, providing a lovely, soft handle. He displays nice bone and a very compact, sturdy frame complemented by a full, deep chest. Additionally, he has an excellent bite and very nice temperament.
Prince Charming carries the legacy of over 160 banners from his paternal grandsire and the refined, high-frequency crimp of his maternal line. With a pedigree featuring names like Snowmass Mr Sizlin Rose and Snowmass Silver Signature, he possesses the density, staple length, and uniformity required to excel in any elite breeding program.
Whether you are looking for a show-ring superstar or a future herdsire to anchor your grey breeding program, Prince Charming offers the proven genetics, fine fiber, and stunning phenotype to deliver "happily ever after" results.
Prince Charming is being offered in Lot 42 of the 2026 ACE's Loaded Alpaca Auction - held February 13, 2026, in conjunction with the 2026 TXOLAN Show weekend!
