HAPPY HOUNDS ALPACA RANCH

What can we say about this girl other than she is absolutely beautiful? She has fantastic conformation on the sturdiest frame. Her very fine fleece has amazing DENSITY, carried along a long staple length, with high frequency crimp. She is the cutest thing we have ever seen! We fell in love with this girl from the moment we saw her and want to thank Scott and Susan Mikulecky of Alpaca Annuals for selling her to us. This little doll moved in and made herself at home without skipping a beat. We bred her to a gorgeous rose grey male that you just might know. AUSSIE .38 Special for a 2012 cria. Wow, did she do a great job with her 2012 cria. Her gorgeous maroon popcorn fleece is super den...

In 2015 we decided the time was right to bring a herdsire of the highest quality into our herd. After much consideration we pulled the trigger and bought half interest (proudly co-owned with Snowmass Alpacas LLC) in Snowmass Velvet Touche (Son of Snowmass Touche (Sire) and Snowmass Royal Splendor (Dam)). We loved him SOOO very much we bought the other half. He is now solely owned by Happy Hounds Alpaca Ranch.

We purchased “Lily” and her mom at the 2013 Priority Auction in Las Vegas. While her mom still resides at Crescent Moon, Lily has found her way onto our 2013 show string. Her fleece is unbelievably bright, with a high frequency, high amplitude crimp style that is very consistent from skin to tip and head to tail. She has an extremely long staple length and super soft handle. Combine her fleece characteristics on a sturdy, square frame and she is the total package for us. She is an uncommon El Nino Vulcan daughter that we look very forward to combining our Vevet Touche bloodlines in the future.

Well we were hoping for grey but instead we got the next best thing . . . . . An Aussie .38 Maroon daughter!!! She popped out with crimp every where. You just have those that you know are special and just hope they stay together for the long haul. So far so good!!! I call her my little popcorn girls because her fiber twists into these perfect tiny little bundles. Her mother Licketty has been a fabulous maiden mom. I know it may be early but we can't wait to get this girl in the show ring. 2013 Fleece Stats: AFD-18.7, SD-4.6, CV-24.7%, >30-2.1% 2014 Fleece Stats: AFD-19.3, SD-4.2, CV-21.6%, >30-2.2% 2015 Fleece Stats: AFD-22.1, SD-4.8, CV-21.7%, >30-5.1%-Grid Sample 2016 Fleece Stat...

Representing a unique blend of some of the best gray genetics that exists in the world today, Mach 4 is the product of 4 generations of tuxedo gray alpacas in our breeding program. Both sides of Mach 4’s pedigree are stacked with layers of multi champions too numerous to list here.

His dam, KBA’s Enlightened, is a 10X banner winner in her own right, taking color champion in both halter and fleece at MAPACA in 2013. Mach 4 himself is a total package.

Snowmass Matrix Majesty was the Reserve Dark Herdsire of the Year award at the 2011 Futurity as well as the Fawn Champion at the 2010 Futurity and with good reason too. Since that time he has had several crops of crias born here at Cas-Cad-Nac and to say that he has been impactful in our breeding program, would be a gross understatement. In addition to multiple Championships and Judges' Choice awards (at both the 2014 AOA National Show and 2014 Futurity) his offspring have also combined to win multiple Get-of-sire classes for their all-world sire. Majesty has also the winner of the Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards again in both 2013 and 2014. Matrix Majesty is the genetic amalgam of...

The fleece on this classic medium silver grey female is stunning... as is her pedigree. Her beautiful fleece is dense and exhibits high-frequency crimp. It is extremely evolved which is so rare for a grey. We bought her specifically to be bred to our Aussie .38 son 38's Totem NS and look forward to what these two bloodlines together can do. Her sire is LMFI Peruvian Black Midnight, Black Midnight has both black and grey in his pedigree, which allowed the gorgeous grey color of her dam Clairvoyance to shine through!

Tita has one of the best fleeces we have ever seen on an alpaca with brightness, high frequency crimp, combined with extreme fineness and density. She is crimpy from head to toe. Not only does she have an incredible fleece she has a solid frame and wonderful look about her. Tita is sired by a champion, white Lennox son. Tita's dam is a fawn champion Nishio daughter. In her show career Tita has done extremely well, winning 5 championships and placing in the top three in all of her shows as a yearling. We decided to push this genetic powerhouse to the limits with her maiden breeding. We chose none other than Snowmass Conopa XXX. This will be a coveted breeding since he has been sold, leaving t...

She just got off the trailer and we are LOVE already. Her fleece is dynamic in that it is crimpy, fine, dense, and has an unbelievably soft handle.

We purchased her at the 2012 Snowmass Auction. Boy are we glad we did. Phenotypically she is a true-to-type young maiden. She has a compact, well-proportioned frame. Her medium fawn fleece is remarkable in uniformity of micron, character and color and exhibits a super soft handle. But rest assured, there is a genetic powerhouse lurking underneath her sweet and pretty exterior. . . . Her sire, Snowmass Royal Challanger has proven himself by producing an extraordinary consistency of fineness, color and extensive fine wool coverage from head to toe on his progeny. Lynnea's dam, Lilly of the Valley adds a dimension of greatness to every one of her offspring with any male she has been matched ...

Okay, so we did it. Riikka is our very first white alpaca we have ever bought. When Ryen (from Tripping Gnome) told us that this was one of the best Sub-Zero daughters he had produced, I knew she was going to be top on my list to purchase. I love what her sire has to bring to the table and her mom is not too shabbie either. She is a champion and has done very well in her show career but now is the time to pass on those amazing genetics. She is currently bred to Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year 2014 . . . . .

Meet the crown prince of CCNF. Show record aside, at the time he was born, Elixir was probably the best male alpaca our breeding program had produced in 16 years. Good thing too, as he and his paternal siblings had some mighty big shoes that we were asking them to fill in the years ahead. The son of three time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Elite Legend, and our multi-Champion Archangel daughter, CCNF Ascension, Elixir when conceived as a concept on paper was supposed to be good. We just had no idea that the stars were going to align quite as nicely as they did. The fleece fineness and phenotype of his maternal line combined with the other-worldly density and uniformity he got from his sire are virtually unmatched here at Cas-Cad-Nac Farm. The 2015 AOA National Fleece Show essentially turned into Elixir's official coming out party as a proven Herdsire. He not only won the Champion Light Male and Judges' Choice Huacaya Male himself but more importantly, four of his offspring (CCNF Spittfire, CCNF Dropshot, CCNF Antares, and CCNF True Adoration) won Championship banners as well, leading to a championship sweep of both the Light and White Male color groups. Not too shabby for his first batch of kids. Since that time of course, the Elixir kids have been front and center in our show strings producing among other accolades, back to back Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards in both 2017 and 2018. Of course one of the things we love about our boy, is that he can be bred to both light and dark females with equally exciting outcomes (Elixir is a classic dorsal beige). He continues to throw everything from whites to browns, all extremely bright and fine. If you have any doubts as to the prowess of this world-class Herdsire, you need only spend 10 minutes or so walking down the line of our show pens any spring or fall. The proof is most definitely in the progeny... Elixir stands at stud here at CCNF from July 1st through October 1st before moving back to our partners' farm in Maryland for the fall season. As of July 1st, 2016 CCNF Elixir was closed for all future outside stud service. You can both look for his offspring in our sales listings though as well as a select number of females who are offered for sale already bred to him.

So we finally did it. We bought 2 white alpacas and Sevana is one of them. We bought this gorgeous girl at 6mnths of age from Ryen and Ursula Munro of Tripping Gnome Farm. Her presence is absolutely stunning and her fleece is remarkable. It's very bright, extremely fine, and possess excellent density. We are excited to show this girl in the 2013-2014 show season.
