Congratulations to Derwydd Alpacas for honoring Zeppelin with a place on their esteemed herd sire row. Zeppelin is no longer available for outside breedings at Delphi Alpacas. **Zeppelin is the 2013 AOBA National Black Male Fleece COLOR CHAMPION** This with his 4th fleece - the judges do enjoy rewarding older fleeces that retain superb qualities. Congratulations to Snowmass Alpacas on their purchased of one black Zeppelin daughter, plus 3 of our black females bred to Zeppelin; as well as another female bred to him from a client's farm. We'll be watching for his genetics under the Snowmass name. Zeppelin's first baby to ever show, fawn Zeppelin's Rainsong, purchased by The Alpaca Group, won a color championship at her first show! We are honored that Zeppelin's genetics have also been chosen by Pacific Crest Alpacas / Accoyo America. Histogram's: 5-2-09: AFD 15.7 / SD 2.8 / CV 18.0 / 0.2 % >30 6-9-10: AFD 16.9 / SD 2.9 / CV 16.9 / 0.4% >30 5-9-11: AFD 17.7 / SD 3.3 / CV 18.4 / 0.8 % >30 5-11-12: AFD 19.8 / SD 3.9 / CV 19.7 / 2.1% >30 Shearing Weight 2009: 6 pounds total = 7.2 pounds annualized. 2010: 9.5 pounds total = 8.75 pounds annualized 2011 = 10.1 pounds annualized 2012 = 10.8 pounds annualized Zeppelin is throwing lots of black. From black based dams his early production totals were: From 8 TB dams he has thrown 3 TB, 1 DSG, 3 BB, and 1 DF cria. From 2 BB dams he threw 1 BB and 1 LF cria. From 4 Silver greys (black base) he threw 3 TB and 1 MB. But regardless of color - with Zeppelin it's ALL about the fleece quality - for example look at his daughter Tessla's fleece at lower right - she sold for $18,000 at auction, after being awarded CC, Best Brightness and Best Hand at the Alpacamania Fleece Show. Tessla's yearling histogram: AFD 12.7, SD 2.0, CV 15.6, %>30 0.0. (!!) My pick of our entire litter last year was his daughter Deltana - a fawn with the kind of fleece we dream of. Congratulations to Bari Padgett on her purchase of Deltana! Zeppelin's dad, Taos, a stunning Legacy son, had a 22.9 AFD at 7 yrs. Zeppelin's mom tested at 21.3 AFD at 7 years as well. Zeppelin also offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone. His crimp, luster and dense lock structure are stunning - staple length is extreme. Zeppelin is full Peruvian and 3/8 Accoyo. We thank David and Julie Wroblewski for allowing us to add Zeppelin to Delphi Alpacas' herd sires.
