Sire - Many alpaca breeders will be familiar with Secret Agent of Bolivia, and his sire, Sayvon of Bolivia from the Alpacas of America program. If you have seen photos of these males, you will know that they are typey, with excellent conformation and abundant fiber coverage.
Alpacas of America had this to say about the well-known Sayvon of Bolivia: "Sayvon is a beautiful, compact, mahogany herdsire. He came to this country in the last import (1998) under the strictest ARI qualifications. His amazing coverage matches his impeccable conformation. He came from the Illampu region of Bolivia. Sayvon’s offspring are of exceptional quality, just like their sire. His average fiber diameter is 22.0 with a coefficient of variation of 20.5% and a standard deviation of 4.5 microns Sayvon sired 119-registered cria."
