Avatar is no longer available for outside breedings.

 Avatar's first crias,
Delphi's Devamani  and Avatar's Ironman (owned by Amy Crane) each received Blue ribbons and then Reserve Championships at the Alpaca Futurity in Indianapolis. Both are juvenile rose grays - one from a bay black and one from a maroon mom. Then Devamani brought home the Color Championship from the level 5 Great Western Alpaca Show and the National AOBA show in Utah. In addition, Avatar's gray son Avalance (owned by Amanda Villareal) brought home a red ribbon from Alpacapalooza, and a blue at the Monterey Pronk.
In 2006 Avatar's Fawn son Kanaka, owned by Fossil Ridge Alpacas, has been shown twice and won two color championships. We are so excited to have confirmation that Avatar is passing along his phenomenal qualities.

Avatar has exceptionally crimpy, dense, uniform, fine fleece - with a phenomenal handle. He also has exceptional bone and coverage, and a gorgeous typey head.
