| Candlelight's Irish Crystal |

Crystal is a medium brown female born July 21, 2006. She is 3/4 Peruvian and 1/4 Chilean. Crystal's lineage includes MFI Peruvian Jericho and PPPeruvian Royal Fawn on her sire side.
When we purchased Crystal her fleece had been entered in a several spin-off competitions. As we waited for her arrival to our farm, the ribbons started to come in and we couldn't have been happier. We were ecstatic when we went to MAPACA in April 2008 and saw that she had won not only a first place in the fleece spin-off competition, but also High Score for the huacaya brown class. We absolutely love this girl!!! Crystal's first cria is a beautiful girl born Oct. 23, 2008. Little Luc's Cassiopeia is a medium fawn cria with beautiful soft, crimpy fleece. At 2 months of age, her fleece looks fabulous and her conformation is perfect. We will be showing her this Spring.
Crystal has a total of 17 Ribbons!!!!  Crystal's awards are listed below. We have entered Crystal's fleece into two Fleece shows for 2009. We hope her winning streak will continue. Crystal's blanket is so soft and full of crimp and bundling. From these awards, it is obvious why we wanted Crystal as one of our foundation females and why we want to keep her in our herd. Crystal just produced our first female. Cassiopeia (Cassie) is a gorgeous medium fawn girl. Her fleece was already exhibiting crimp when she was born and is coming in beautifully. We cannot wait to get this girl into the show ring in 2009.
