2006 AlpacaFest West Show Winners

Posted 13 November, 2006 in Alpaca Shows |

This past weekend, November 11th and 12th we attended the AlpacaFest West show in The City of Industry, CA. The venue was in the City of Industry Expo center. We were pleasantly surprised at how pretty the location was. It was a level II show with 280 alpacas in total and judged by senior judge, Jane Tellier. On day 1 we got to show off our DMAR Apollo. He was in the medium brown category and was one of six alpacas. Jane chose him to be 2nd place. She stated that he had a very pleasing head and was very fine. Apollo definitely has a presence about him. He strutted around the arena proudly and gave the appearance of a winner. DMAR Apollo is an Augusto grandson and he will become our herdsire when he is old enough.

DMAR Athena showed the following day. She was one of six in the light fawn class. She was up against some stiff competition like All American Alpacas, Alpacas of Misty Ridge, and Alpacas del VAlle Cereza. As I held my breath I listened to Jane Tellier place Athena first with the comments such as solid structured female, good conformation, excellent density, and uniform of micron from top knot down to her toes. Then when Athena went in for the championship round she won reserve color champion. Again Jane brought up her excellent density. DMAR Athena is an Augusto granddaughter.

Overall we had a great show and spent some good times catching up with old friends and making new ones.
