Classic Pack Females
Classic Pack Females
A classic coated pack llama is invaluable to serious backcountry work. Classics have a coat similar to a Labrador Retriever. When you rake it, the majority of the undercoat releases and leaves behind a nice shiny guard fiber with minimal undercoat. This coat is functional in the sense that it keeps the bugs from bothering the llamas skin and it protects them in the backcountry from heat, rain and cold. Along with having a classic coat, a packer should have strong structure and gaits for endurance on the trails. We have bred this type of llama for over 20 years now and before it became the rage!
Over the years we have through careful selection ended up with some amazing classic llama females. We have always put genotype first in our selection of llamas for our breeding program. Serious breeders know you can get the phenotype you want when you know the genetics of your lines! We do NOT just throw a bunch of llamas together hoping for a champion, therapy llama, driver or packer!
Our females are from solid milking and birthing lines. They have firm foundations with good legs, toplines, bites, pasterns and strong genetics. We have extensively researched llama bloodlines to avoid many of the common genetic issues that are out there. Many of our animals are not from today's common overused pack bloodlines that are riddled with breakdown and genetic problems.
When you are waiting for a packer to turn 4 to carry weight..... then you train them for a year or two to work on the trail and finally have a finished product.....the last thing you want is a crippled/broken down pack llama!
Our females have strong foundations that are proven in the showring and are from from some of the oldest reliable packing lines. Some of them are ALSA and/or ILR Halter/Performance Champions and several are PLTA certified packers. One is even a registered therapy llamas with Pet Partners too!
We breed for a classic coated llama with solid conformation, reliable genetics, intelligence and longevity. Within our breeding program we avoid line breeding and woolly lines. Some of our classics have a woolly ancestor, but from our research and pairings we have not had any offspring that weren't classic. We have had 100% classic production in our program to date! We prefer some of the older pack lines as they haven't been ruined with aesthetic focuses like being huge.
By focusing on the traits we like and know work, we are able to get the exact results we breed for with limited pairings. Our results speak for themselves in and out of the showring and on the trail! To see offspring, check our JNK Future Winners Born/Babies link and our Ads Link.
