Kung Pao is a superb son sired by the legendary Accoyo El Nino. "His compact size, striking well covered head with a short muzzle, and extremely dense high character, microbundled fleece are a near replica of his sire" as described in the 2009 Parade of Champions Auction Catalogue! Kung Pao also has a highly uniform fleece through to his belly, shoulder, hip and right up his neck and into his topknot, just like his sire. His fineness (14.5 micron 1st fleece, 16.9 micron 2nd fleece) combined with his density are phenomenal! El Nino's accomplishments are well known - numerous Herdsire of the Year and Get of Sire awards, but Acacia, Kung Pao's dam, has a proven show record as well. Some of her ribbons include: 1st - (class of 9) MAPACA Eastern Jubilee 2nd - 2006 Futurity Show and Sale 3rd - (class of 13) 2006 Alpaca Western Extravaganza 3rd - (class of 12) 2006 AOBA National Show RESERVE CHAMPION (2nd in class) - 2007 Alpaca Western Extravaganza 2nd - (class of 13) 2007 MAPACA Eastern Jubilee 3rd - (class of 10) 2007 AOBA National Show BEST HANDLE - (as a 4 year old) 2009 Western Alpaca Extravaganza Fleece Show Kung Pao's first 4 cria in 2011 were all exceptional. Kung Fu, Confucious, Ming Lee, and Lilly Wong are already multiple ribbon winners and Ming Lee is a Grand Champion and Best in Show winner. Kung Pao had 6 offspring in 2012, and ALL 6 are very high quality! The offspring have very showy fleeces that are dense and bright. Kung Pao is producing a consistent, beautiful phenotype and has become a key breeding male in our herd!
