Americano's Keswick
SixTime Champion!
Keswick earns his Sixth Championship and BEST in SHOW at 43 months of age.
What an exciting event! Keswick earned his 6th Championship and Best in Show Banner at the 2011 Mayflower Alpaca Show! This follows closely on the heels of his Reserve Color Championships at both the 2011 MAPACA Jubilee Fleece Event in Harrisburg, PA, the Empire Alpaca Fleece Event in Syracuse, NY and his Grand Champion Fawn placing at the 2010 AC/CNASF National Fleece Show in Alberta.
Keswick's full brother, Americano's Heathcoat, earned Reserve Champion Brown at the 2010 Manitoba Show and his half brother, Agassiz Clyde, took Champion Light at 3+ years of age.
Keswick's internationally renowned, respected and highly sought after bloodlines and genotype are only surpassed by his impressive phenotype - a.k.a. - incredible fleece, conformation and of course, cute factor.
Keswick is a Victor grandson and Hemingway great grandson. He is son of Get of Sire Winner (3rd/8) Victor's HemiAccoyo Americano and two time Dam's Progeny Winner, Snowflake's Charm. Both parents have produced numerous award winning offspring and Keswick's grandsires, granddames and full siblings have all earned Champion status.
Kewick himself is now a six time Champion and at close to 4 years old, still commands attention in the show ring.
Full brother, Americano's Heathcoat, has been retained in the Agassiz herd and Americano is now standing stud at Amber Autumn in Alberta. Consequently, this is a very rare and limited opportunity to add these consistently proven genetics to your breeding program.

Lineage Record
Snowflake's Charm
Medium Brown, 1012804
Charm a gorgeous female, is a Champion daughter of NGG Lional a colored Peruvian Bueno son owned by 2 farms in the USA (Sunset Hills Farm and Amore Alpacas). Lional is a very typey alpaca and has produced many champion and quality off-spring over the years. Lional transmits a very good fleece with brightness and handle being its main attributes.
Charm’s dam, Snowflake, an Australian import, is a daughter of Purrumbete Snowman, one of the original 6 Accoyo males imported into Australia by the Haldanes. Owned by Pucara Stud, but now deceased, Snowman was a large alpaca and was known to consistently transmit soft handling fleeces to his progeny – a well documented trait. There are only a few direct Snowman offspring in North America.
Charm had her first cria, Agassiz EAS Clyde, in June 2006 out of Jolimont Peruvian Sweet William, a son of the revered Australian male, Jolimont Sculpto.
Victor's HemiAccoyo Americano
White, 830655, Full Peruvian
• owned exclusively by Agassiz Alpacas •
Today there are countless alpacas in North America of magnificent phenotype. Unfortunately, phenotype is all too often an ephemeral phenomenon. Successful sire selection must go beyond phenotype and focus on males prepotent for desirable phenotypic characteristics.
Americano’s prepotency is evident now with his own progeny on the ground. The fleeces of his offspring are very impressive and have always been an improvement over their dam’s fleece. They are fine, consistent, soft-handling fleeces with remarkable brightness.
