Danica was the first female cria born to our award-winning dam Chanel. At birth she was covered with tight dark fawn curls that were amazing to see. Danica has been a joy to watch mature, with her gentle, friendly personality and charisma. Danica has beautiful, well-covered straight legs, excellent conformation, correct bite and an alluring face. These attributes earned her first place at her first show in a shorn class this summer. Her fiber is fine, dense and consistent in color and crimp, just like that of her half-brother Braveheart, one of our blue ribbon herdsires. Like Braveheart, Danica is easy to handle and wonderful around children.

Danica comes from outstanding genetics on both sides of her lineage. Her dam, Chanel, is the offspring of medium fawn, multiple champion CPeruvian Winchester (out of Hobby Horse Farm), who has sired many champions. Danica’s sire, Hilltop’s Dreamer’s Advocate, is also a multiple champion, with award-winning offspring including our own Velvetina. Advocate is also the sire of our young maiden Rosalia. All three of these females clearly exemplify the quality that Advocate passes on to his offspring, in wonderful compliment to the genetic excellence of our dams.

Fall, 2009 Update: 

Danica has been bred to 9 time Color Champion Rumm Runner (ARI 3062397)from CCAP Alpacas, for a summer 2010 birth.   What a promising match for our dear Danica!
