StrongShepherd's China Doll

Candlelight is a lovely Taylor Made daughter with a bright, soft handling very fine fleece, long staple, good coverage, and great conformation. For her maiden breeding we chose CCNF Legionnaire, and the beautiful dark fawn male from this breeding, StrongShepherd's Dante, has earned 11 banners and 19 Blue Ribbons! Congratulations to Peruvian Soul Alpacas on their purchase of Dante! Bred to our StrongShepherd Apollo by Koolosal, Candlelight gave us another dark fawn male, multitude banner winner StrongShepherd's Ronan! Check him out if you have an interest in an excellent future herdsire for your breeding program! Bred next to our StrongShepherd's JUNO, Candlelight gave us a lovely roan female in 2025! "China Doll" earned two 1st place ribbons at the spring Jamoree show and was subsequently purchased! We re-bred Candlelight to Apollo for a '26 cria, and the result is a gorgeous beige male cria with incredible density and a ton of "soft-rolling skin". He is a "mini Apollo" in head and body style as well, so he is aptly named StrongShepherd Apollo's Defender. I can't wait to see what this boy grows into!! For 2027 Candlelight is again being bred to Apollo! Candlelight is proudly co-owned with our Strong Shepherd partners, Randy & Karen Strong, K-Ran Alpacas.
