Isabella
White Pine Midnight's Isabella
Full Peruvian
Not for Sale

Isabella is one of our foundation females and for good reason! Her fleece is absolutely stunning and seems to get better with age. At 5 years old, her AFD is still only 21.4. The luster and fineness holds consistent throughout and her crimpy architecture speaks volumes. She is extremely straight with good bone structure. Isabella can also throw rose gray, bay black, and white depending on the sire.

2009 AFD: 21.9,
Comfort Factor: 97%
6 Years Old

At 5 years old, Isabella took 1st place and was the highest scoring Huacaya fawn at the 2008 AOBA Fiber to Fashion Conference. This is an amazing accomplishment for a 5-year old and we are very pleased to have her as part of our breeding program.

At 6 years old, Isabella brought home another 1st place in a spinning competition at MIAF.

Isabella's last cria, BMF Taos' Zeppelin just took 2nd place out of 10 in his class at the highly competitive 2009 Great Western Alpaca Show in Colorado, a level 5 event. This bay black field had over 70 animals. We have repeated this breeding for a Spring 2009 cria and we can't wait! Isabella has proven to be a consistent producer of high quality crias and we just love her gentle personality.
