Where Excellence in Fleece and Conformation is a Life Style
Awarded 2010 Reserve Small Breeders of the Year
Future Herd Sires
When you think of the Ritz Carlton Brand, you think of luxury, ellegance, royalty treatment. This is exactly what Mile High Peruvian Carlton Ritz brings to the Alpaca industry. His fleece is elegantly fine and bright, dense, yet soft as as down. His conformation is that of royalty perfection. Together, a luxurious package that very well could be emerging on the perfect elite alpaca. Mile High Peruvian Carlton Ritz is a progeny of sire El Nino's Golden Legend and dam Mile High Peruvian Malanie. With these genetics as his foundation, it is very clear why Carlton Ritz exudes greatness in so many perspectives.
Sharon and Frank Loner, Mile High Alpacas, LLC are great and long standing members of the alpaca community and we are so grateful that they were willing to sell Mile High Carlton Ritz to our partners, Sand Creek Criations and ourselves.

Mile High Dorian Gray
Mile High Dorian Gray is the son of color champion Ruby Rose and multi-champion sire, The Reverend Mr. Black, both of Mile High Alpacas. This is the exact same pairing that created Dorian’s 14 time Champion full brother, Mile High Deacon Gray.
Our first glimpse of this amazing dark silver gray male was at 6 weeks of age. His posture, personality, exuberant crimp, fleece characteristics and outstanding conformation were exactly aligned with what we had defined as being core elements to our program.
We are having fun with Dorian in the show ring. Some judges have commented that he is a "show pony"; He holds his head high and presents himself in a way that says look at me, I have it all going on. We are looing to watching him mature into the herd sire that is equal to or even greater than his exquisite heritage.
Mile High Dorian Gray can be found with his friends at Sand Creek Criations in

SA Tuscan’s Tuscanator Di Bella Vita
Tuscanator is worthy of carrying his father’s name as he carries forth the soft, bright crimpy fleece and gorgeous head that Sunny Mesa’s Tuscan Gold is well known for. Add to that his sweet, outgoing personality and impeccable conformation; he will steal your heart, just as he stole ours.
Tuscanator’s heritage is full of color as his dam is a true black import and his Sire’s heritage includes fawns, browns and whites. Tuscan Gold has multiple colored cria on the ground, so the color genetics are deeply embedded in Tuscanator’s DNA.
His outstanding fleece characteristics, excellent conformation and color genetics will be a foundational element of Chimera Ranch. As one of our future herd sires, we are looking to integrate all of the strengths of Tuscanator and his heritage into our herd.
Tuscanator is presently agisted at Sand Creek Criations in
