The mark of a great herdsire is the success of his offspring. In only three short years, Hotazel offspring took more than 90 awards. They won 20+ Color or Reserve Championships, 30+ Firsts, 35+ Seconds, 10 Thirds, 6 Fourths and 2 Fifths. For those who say you can't compete in second fleece - a few of those Banners were with previously shorn alpacas! His offspring have won a banner at every show we have attended and in every color group except gray. His whites have even taken champion over full accoyo whites - now that's just plain fun! Hotazel was specifically chosen to compliment Jet Stream and the rest of our breeding program. How rare it is to find a dark suri with lock structure superior to most lights! In addition to that, he is well balanced, conformationally correct, and exhibits outstanding luster. He also has well above average density, (skin biopsy in the top 10%- ask for results). In fact, we chose him specifically for his luster and density.
