RIP 9/11/2019, due to complications from arthritis and pain medication. He was regal to his last day. Breeders describe their Constantino line as their very best...PRODUCERS!!! 15 years ago the judges called him the "future of the industry" and they were right. In 2016 two of his juvie sons, Bonafide (LB) and Travelin' Man (BB), earned 1st FFH in very competitive classes. Tino's show career lasted 5 years and he successfully competed with the best in the country. His fleece stats for fineness and weight from 12+ years ago are on par with today's show winners. Tino's fleece took four years to increase one point for Standard Deviation...on a hig plain of nutrition. Tino's 19m /17 CV super dense cria fleece never collected debris; 9 - 10 crimps per inch in '03 and '04. Shearing Tino's first two fleeces was difficult. They were so dense, fine and slick that his skin got pulled into the blades several times. JUDGE'S 2004 Halter Champion COMMENTS: "FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY", "consistently the finest of his competitors, outstanding fleece character & handle", "extremely fine and dense for his age" (AWE 05, Krieger, 33 mos.), "largest testicles, strength and structure, ability to move out freely, correct proportions and a well-conditioned fleece." Superb phenotype; even temperament; strong libido/early maturation; heavy lactation too! Tino placed in halter and fleece, above award-winning sons of both Accoyo Royal Fawn and Accoyo Legacy...two record high-selling herdsires, Running Late and others.

I am humbled and fortunate to own this very typey Peruvian hembra. I wish I had a whole herd like her. When I saw her blurry Jan 06 sale photo I knew she was something very special..a perfect head, the slight curve in her neck, the topline and rounded rump, low tail set, deep chest, huge body capacity and blanket area, uniform color, density, fineness, character...all exemplified a textbook alpaca. One exception: she's my tallest female by 2-3", but all of her offspring are average sized. Maroon Monaco has a blanket weight very close if not the same to my whites, Pearl, and her 3x champion dam, Brentina (ARI EPD 1% club for fleece weight). She has very strong protection / survival instincts and is very expressive, yet is very tractable and easy to handle. She shows constant concern for others, alpacas and people alike. She passed our detailed selection criteria and was purchased to be one of our top foundation females. She blossomed slowly and year after year has maintained the exceptional qualities that earned her a blue ribbon from judge Safley. All four of her fawn colored grandparents are from the last, most stringent '98 importation and different regions. She's a full Peruvian with outcross vigor. (No Accoyo.) Her breeder, other breeders, her veterinarians and breeder/judge Mike Safley have all commented on her outstanding qualities. Offspring: 07: P. Lady Grace - By P. Tacitus; 2350 IgG; 1st place VAOBA, SOLD to Catalpa Creek Alpacas. 08: Triumph - Non-fading TB by P. Incantation, very typey and pure black all over. 09: Christina - maroon foundation female by our Constantino; she's a top producer. 10: P. RRoyal Faith - super dense and typey DSG F by our AOBA champion, Snowmass RRoyal Fox. 11: P. RRoyal Marquis - uniform royal fine maroon M by Snowmass RRoyal Fox. 12: Concordia - gorgeous dark maroon F by our Casimiro. 13: Prince of Monaco - DSG M by Rincon Cloud. 15: Exotique - F. very dark maroon/black (like her maternal gr.sire), by Constantino (LF). Some breeders admit, "Sometimes it's the dam you want." and finding a stud to significantly improve Monaco is a good problem to have. Her fleece is as good as our best herdsires. I wish I had lots more just like her.

Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities. Certified Sorted graded Fox's 3 y.o. champion for "WORSTED applications". No W, LF or MF crias and no blue eyes. -Gray dtr, Kristiana (sold at AOBA auction): EPDs 2% fineness and placed: RC, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th; bought her back in 2024. -Gray son (Irish Meadows) - 1st Futurity. -Black dtr.

Certificate Histogram

Named after the Jarden Exotique in the country of Monaco (dam's name). Her baby fine fleece has good density with high definition crimp from the front of her topknot to the tip of her tail, high brightness and a silky handle. She's has a gorgeous rich color that is nearly black and it fades to maroon (not brown). She has unique fleece coloring, similar to her grandsire, P. Orion. Exotique hails from the later Peruvian imports and P. Andrajo (Alianza coop) and is unrelated to the popular Hemingway, Guellermo and all Accoyo lines.
Exotique is a full sister to blue ribbon winner Christina who is one of our producers of top quality.
Our home-bred 2004 Champion, Constantino, was 12 when he sired this beauty. In his 5-year long very successful show career the judges called him the future of the industry. And over a decade later he just keeps turning out keepers...both daughters and sons. He also sired KCAF Bonafide and KCAF Travelin' Man, both who won first place ribbons in 2016.
Her first cria is a pretty fawn female born in 2019. Exotique birthed easily and is a very attentive mom.
