Sven is the most complete alpaca we have bred thus far with an amazing high frequency fleece with an exquisite handle. All indicators are that his fleece will remain outstanding for a long time to come.
Bloodline
His sire is Bemersyde Estate Bronson, a very well performed campaigner in the show ring and fleece tent and a very close relation to the multiple Supreme Champion Bemersyde Estate Romeo. Bronson's sire is the National Supreme Champion of his year - Oak Ridge Oliver.
His dam, Rustic Dawn Elsa, is a daughter of Supreme Fleece Champion Rustic Dawn Columbus. Sven is Elsa's second cria while her first is Rustic Dawn Funky Music, who is a very good alpaca in his own right. Further her full-sister Rustic Dawn Eponine has also produced 3 awesome cria in broad ribbon winners Rustic Dawn Fantine, Rustic Dawn Marius and Rustic Dawn Cosette. It is a highly productive line.
