CEDAR HOUSE STORM 2
Storm 2 left New Zealand for the UK in 2009. It was a bit sudden and we apologise as we know there were a lot of breeders here that wanted to use him and we were expecting to have him here for some time yet. Fortunately there were a small number of females pregnant to him here. Those cria - 3 males and 8 females - are now on the ground and show us the future for Storm 2 is very bright indeed.
CEDAR HOUSE STORM 2 - 4 X SUPREME CHAMPION
Description: 2nd Intermediate Male W/LF
Storm 2 is quite simply outstanding. He has a very fine, very dense fleece with a gorgeous rich, greasy brightness (lustre) and excellent, high amplitude crimp. This super fine fleece has such density and superb alignment that it peels open and holds together beautifully, never allowing dirt or debris to enter. The handle of this extremely well nourished fleece is super soft and he grows very good length – 12cm per annum. All this gorgeous fleece on a strong boned frame with correct conformation. What more could you ask for in a stud male?
Well how about temperament? Anyone who has seen Storm 2 in the show ring will know that he is a dream to handle. A natural to the show ring he walks out well and stands up quietly with a proud bearing and look at me presence. This gentle nature is inherited and is quite typical of the Brave Heart progeny, as we have also found with other Brave Heart progeny we have here in Auckland or that we have exported to the UK.
And pedigree? Storm 2’s pedigree is impeccable, containing almost 100% Accoyo bloodlines from some of the most outstanding alpacas ever to have been imported into
His sire, Cedar House Brave Heart, is 100% Accoyo bloodlines through the fabulous males Purrumbete Highlander and Purrumbete Inti and those superb females Purrumbete Sweet Freedom and Benleigh Highland Lass.
His dam, Cedar House Snow White 2, is a daughter of another superb Accoyo imported male, Cedar House Peru Accoyo Jacomo out of an elite imported Peruvian female, Cedar House La Perricholi. Another of Perricholi’s daughters has recently been exported to the
