History of AOBA and alpacas in the United States
Prior to 1980, alpacas existed in the U.S. but those were confined mostly to zoological parks. The first known private importation of alpacas occurred in 1980 when Richard and Kay Patterson purchased a herd of ten animals from England. Dr. Ralph Uber purchased the herd from the Pattersons in 1982 and added additional alpacas purchased from a zoo in Canada. In 1984 an import Chile

Romantico has been throwing terrific cria throughout his breeding career. Romantico started at Woodsedge Farm and was a favorite of their farm manager. Romantico stamps his impressive head on all his progeny.
2 championships and 4 blue ribbons
Adonnis Eros is the son of Crescent Moon's Adonnis and our new blue ribbon winning grey Snowmass girl - Snowmass Austen. Eros comes from a pedigree of Champions and we are hoping he will follow in all their winning ways. He is a lovely brown color with exquisite fleece. See him in the spring shows.
Amadeus is a magnificent male. His awards speak for himself. 1st and 2nds at all the big shows, AOBA, MAPACA, Empire and multiple years. He has had incredible cria. Most being grey (with the exception of one dark fawn female, who herself, is a reserve color champion)
Annie Oakley is the cute as a button daughter of Hootin Annie and
Romantico's Peruvian Magnus. She is adorable - and presents herself very
nicely. She has very nice fiber. She has turned into a very nice girl -
and will be an excellent foundation girl.
Armani is a light silver grey with very soft fiber. He has a compact build, good density of bone and a very nice personality. He places 2nd in his class at the 2001 AOBA halter show.
Audrey is a unique dark rose grey girl who also happens to have a mix of colors from black, white and tan on her. Everyone who comes on the farm remarks about how handsome she is. Audrey comes from a nice lineage, Silver Del Sol Codi is her sire (from Silversmith) and on her dam's side is Peruvian Celebre and Silvercloud.

Premiere west coast Chilean true black herdsire
Vernon and Delores Ford of Rocky Meadows have taken great pride in their premiere alpaca. He has thrown wonderful cria including RM Manchester and RM Rusty Ion.
This gorgeous full Peruvian herdsire has and easy going and curious personality. He has exceptional coverage from head to toe with crimp from end to tip. His sire is the world reknowned Peruvian Hemingway and his grandsire on his dams side is Accoyo Pachacuti.
Cinderella Liberty comes with a breeding of your choice (if we dont' have her bred come spring) and a breedback. Take a look at our herdsire row - and the blue ribbon winners and champions that we can offer.
Cocoaberry is the product of our cross of snowberry and Captain Nemo. We always thought that Snowberry was hiding grey, and that perhaps Nemo would bring it out. But instead of a grey we got a beautiful brown girl - with excellent fiber. we will be bringing Cocoa out to the spring shows. look for her there.
Chocolate Drop is out of Lord Stirling and Teardrop the champion girl we got from the midwest. Unfortunately we did lose Teardrop - but Chocolate Drop has been doing really well bonding with all the other crias. We like her so much - that we will take her out to the spring shows.
Riverside Alpacas herdsire who throws incredible fleeced cria.
Deacon Greys Smokerise is out of the famous Mile High Deacon Grey and our new girl La Buena Vida's Sweet Romance. We are extremely pleased with him.
Grayson has been Riverside Alpacas premiere grey herdsire. He has a beautiful stance and terrific fleece. He continuously throws awesome cria.
Diablo comes from a dam who has thrown us a champ - and a sire who is a 6x blue ribbon winner 3x champion AND a Judges Choice award for Fleece!!! Kodiak Express - whose sire is well known to everyone - Accoyo Express.
Diablo earned his name - because when he was born his ears made him look devilish. I really held off trying to come up wth another name - but Rob was right - and Diablo it is. It's going to be a long winter to see if the fleece we are looking at right now - is going to hold on and turn into fleece like his sire and grandsire!
Diablo will be going into the ring this spring - and we are very anxious to see how he will do. come back and check him out - OR come to the New Jersey Show in Sussex or Mapaca in Harrisburg. he will be at both!
Express Peruvian Smokey the Bear
Paladin is Amanda Vanden Boesch’s Flying Dutch Alpaca’s premiere grey herdsire. He consistently throws great fibered color alpacas.
lovely rose grey champion
Hill Top’s Hollywood is a well known son of the famous top selling herdsire of 2004 ($410,000) Dom Lucillio. His grandsires are equally famous being Royal Fawn and Augusto. These genes show in his amazing fleece.
Invincible's White Satin Knight
sadora is (Is-A-Dor-a-ble). Yeah I couldn't help it!! She is just the
cutest thing. Isadora is out of our farm queen Tamara. Tamara has given
us an abundance of females down the years and seems to be passing that
onto her own girls. She has had some nice boys too. But Isadora......
well ....... she is adorable. She is one of the 3 Captain Nemo rosegrey
girls all born the same week.
MA Cortinia is a sweet girl with great conformation and coverage. She has a grey spot on her neck that is a very rare mushroom grey that she inherited from her dam 5Peruvian Party Girl. Her Grandsire is the famous Peruvian Macusani. Her fleece color is dark brown and she has passed down to her cria great color genetics.
Ankara is a medium rose gray from Magical Farms with Silvino bloodlines. She has extremely fine fleece with 2 year old fleece histogram at 18.0 microns/4.5 SD/24.4cv/2%>30 and a 5 year old histogram at 19.3 microns/5.1 SD/25.9cv/4%>30. How many animals can claim that level of fineness at 5 years of age with 3 pregnancies?
Acacia resides at Riverside Alpacas in Jordan, New York and has consistently thrown great conformation and exquisite fleeces.
The son of Magical Farms Peruvian King and it carries on a fine heritage.
Riverside Alpacas is very proud of Spoiled Rotten. She continuously throws brown or black girls!
Morning Mist Farm's Sienna MIst
Nemo's Summer Sunset is the first female cria we have from Nemo. And Lluvia was the only girl we had bred to him this season. So we were hoping so much for a girl. We got 2 wonderful boys last year, and they have been proving themselves in the show ring, but it was about time for a girl. And what a girl. Born on August 31st, we found her in the field. Rob came up to the dining room where I was working and he said, "I think Lluvia had her cria" and I asked why he thought that, and he said, "well there is a cria nursing from her". So we ran out to see our newest little cria. I knew it was a girl as soon as I saw her. We were hoping for a rose grey cria - but her fiber is the richest color brown I have seen. her face (nose) has grey on it, so we know she will throw grey when she is old enough. We aren't even going to talk about shows for Summer Sunset yet. We are just going to enjoy having a Nemo Girl !!!
Paula is standing right behind Stealth and you can see how closely they resemble each other. She has thrown great cria and continues to do so for Champion Alpacas.
What could possibly be said about Hemmingway that hasn’t been said all over the place. He’s incredible.
Maggie is our first full peruvian off spring of Magnus, and what a little looker she is!!
Amelia was a beautiful full Peruvian import.
Summer Sky came to us to be bred to our Lord Stirling, and it was love, well not quite at first site, but she just kept growing on us and growing on us. Well we ended up loving her personality, one of the friendliest girls we have ever known, even pregnant. And now we own her - and the lovely female cria she had from our Champion Lord Stirling.
Prince Alderaan of Rosehaven is a 3/4 peruvian boy from our Captain Nemo and Princess Leah. This is Leah's 2nd cria and 2nd boy. Her first Invincible's white Satin Knight is a White Color Champion. I was hoping to keep up the star wars theme with Prince and I think we did quite nicely, not that he will be carrying a light saber anytime soon. His fiber is quite nice and we call him a rose grey wantabe!
Description: Princess Leah won her first blue ribbon at the Empire Extravaganza 2005. Julio Sumar stated that though he was judging her in the shorn class, he thought that her fleece was very nice. Leah took a 4th in a very tough class prior to that at her first show (and yes we were one of those who hadn't trained her to lead at that point....) But what she is known for is her champion son Invincible's White Satin Knight
Rosehaven's Bewitching Samantha
Circe is out of MFH Circlet and Avalon's Peruvian Granger. That makes
her 1/2 sibling to our prize herdsire, Lord Stirling. She already shows
signs of following in her mother's footsteps-giving us everything we
hoped to get from this breeding. Come see them all, you are in for a
treat. We love her leg coverage, her grey soft fleece, and obviously
some judges agree with us too!
Crimson Ice has tons of potential. Our wonderful girl Tamara has always
given us the most amazing cria. From Lady Jane, Hannah, Autumn Dancer
and Indi Max. And here Crimson Ice is another wonderful boy. His Sire
Zamboni is out of the Black Ice line, and we have chosen to keep the
name in that line too.
Matt may look like a creamy color-but when you open that fleece
up-wow!!!! What you see is a light silver grey. We waited for Princess
to throw a grey for so long -and finally we have one!!! come and see
Matt at the spring shows.
Be one of the first to have a Lord Stirling cria. He is our 3x banner winning, 10x blue ribbon winning son of Captain Nemo.
Another beautiful Nemo male and a beautiful boy out of Miss Marilyn. Arronax shows all the promise of his sire. We're betting that he will be a welcome addition to anyone's breeding program.
Rosehaven's Peruvian BellaNema
BellaNema is a lovely full peruvian medium rose grey girl out of our champion Captain Nemo and our famous girl Isabella who appeared on the daytime talkshow The View. BellaNema has a full brother Silver Crown who took is a 3x Reserve Champion. Silver Crown is a Modern rose grey now owned by Jackie Armiger at Windy Farms in NJ. We are hoping that BellaNema will follow in all these winning ways. A lovely girl as you can see.
Rosehaven's Peruvian Saving Grace
Peruvian Blush is a lovely Rose-grey girl with her heart on her chest!!! look at that picture. just lovely. She took a first at Empire Extravaganza in October of 2011. And followed that with a 2nd at the New England Classic a couple of weeks later. We love this cross that we have from Derwydd's Wine and Derwydd's Luciano. She is a beauty.
Trooper is a product of Pearl cache (a patagonia genetics girl) and DiMaggio our white phenotypical herdsire. Trooper has excellent fiber and a nice conformation. he is all male and takes after his very macho father, except for those beautiful eyes. Pearl had a say on that.
Shaquille has set high standards for outstanding gray fleece with crimp and density characteristics usually found in only light fleeces. Shaquille's Hall of Fame show career has been nothing short of phenomenal! But Shaquille has also proven that his offspring can follow in his footsteps with many taking multiple championships
Awards Received 2004 AOBA Winter National - 1st place fleece 2004 North American - 1st place fleece 2003 AOBA Nationals - 1st place fleece 2002 AOBA Nationals - Color Champion 2002 AOBA Nationals - Color Champion Fleece 2002 MAPACA - Reserve Champion 2002 Estes Park Wool Market 1st place fleece 2001 AOBA Nationals - Reserve Champion 2001 AOBA Nationals - 1st place halter 2001 MAPACA - Reserve Champion 2001 Virginia Classic - Color Champion 2001 Wisconsin Spring Fling - 1st place halter 2001 Kentucky Classic - Color Champion 2001 OABA Alpacafest - 1st place fleece 2000 OABA Alpacafest - 1st place fleece 2000 MAPACA - 1st place halter
Beautiful Silver Grey girl out of our original Emmy and Aussie Rockford.
Stunning rose grey girl born to one of Silver Spoon's foundation dams and their fawn herdsire, who is a half brother to the famous Orlando Cloud. She had beautiful, bright, crimpy grey fleece as a cria. Her fleece is still amazing now after the birth of her first cria.
Shelley should have excellent fleece characteristics to pass on to her offspring. Since Shelley's dam is an excellent breeder, conceiving in one breeding and birthing easily, we expect her to offer the same.
Snowberry is as white as snow - and we decided to keep the family "berry" name going from Teaberry and our old Hollyberry. Her sire is Brookhollow's Alonzo. She has really strong bones and good conformation. She will only get better and better. She does have some blue in her eyes. So we will be breeding her to solids. Which is fine with us. Lets see how she looks as she grows up.
This blue-ribbon girl comes out of a phenomenal lineage. Her mother is Snowmass Sweet Dreams, a champion grey who won the 2004 Grey Female Champion at All American Futurity, Reserve Color Champion at AOBA Nationals and Reserve Color Champion at Alpaca Western Extravaganza. Her mother produced Snowmass' top two grey males ever produced on their farm (Silver Signature and Royal Dreams), and comes out of Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, one of the country's top grey males who won 2003 Futurity Herdsire of the Year. Austen's father is Snowmass Royal Bronze, one of Snowmass's top production sires and winner of 2004 All American Futurity, 2004 Alpacafest, 2005 Fleece at AOBA and 2004 AWE. Royal Bronze's fleece characteristics are incredible, with 16.4 at 3.5 years of age.
Ebony Skye is a delightful true black cria from our Summer Sky and Lord Stirling. She is one of the first cria's from our Champion Lord stirling - and we like what we see. Summer Sky came to be bred to stirling - and we liked her so much we bought her. She has the friendliest temperment of any alpaca - and we are hoping that it genetically passed down to Ebony Skye. Stirling is a bit of a mush himself - so it really should. We are intending to bring Ebony to the spring shows and see how she does.
Garnet rose is the 2nd cria Tara has had (2 females) and Lord Stilring. Beautiful color and lovely markings.
Pewter Prince is the criation of our 2 silver grey champions, Lord Stirling and Canzelle's Harlequin. He carries the exquisite fleece of Captain Nemo and Snowmass Casanova and looks just like Lord Stirling when he was young. The same attitude, the same playfulness, the same curiousity, the same conformation and, oh yea, the same markings as his daddy! Just watching Pewter romp in the field would make anyone smile. Come over to our field and let Pewter make you smile.
Tara is a lovely medium brown girl. We think she is starting to show some grey in her as she has gotten older. She was pregnant with DiMaggio and we are thrilled with little Guya-born June 2010. In 2011, she gave birth to little Garnet Rose-a stunning (so far) little girl. We can't wait to see how she grows up.
Carolann is a lovely grey female - who would make a great foundation in
any herd. She is a product of our Champion Frederica a beautiful Rose
grey girl, and Excelsior's Horatio. Horatio is a cross between Legacy
and some great bolivians Vyrtual reality, and sayvon of Bolivia. all
combined to make this beautiful girl. She will be ready to breed in the
sprin
Whistler's Peruvian Ebony King
Madame X is a west coast female who has consistently thrown black or grey cria.
Silver Bell is Woodland Alpacas pride and joy. All of her boys have been stunning. She is confident and has tons of presence. She passes this to her cria along with her terrific conformation and her low micron count.
