ELKA - tall, elegant, refined white (dilute appaloosa) North American female was purchased as an adult by Patterson Llamas in February of 1975 from Jerry Berman, CA.
ELKA founded the now famous “E-line” producing a total of 12 live cria: 6 males, 6 females. ELKA’s influence and ability as a dam to pass on her type, style, and elegance from generation to generation will most probably remain unsurpassed in the annals of American llama breeding.
ELKA was named after a beautiful white Polish Arabian mare and most of the female llamas in this line were accordingly named after the best Polish mares of the Polish “E-line.” ELKA died in 1990 and is buried at Hinterland Ranch.
Of major impact were:
ECLIPSE PL 1980 M (Dr. Doolittle) 336 registered get
EQUINOX 1985 M (Errol Flynn) 111 regustered get
ESTOKADA 1981 F (Dr. Doolittle) who was dam of ESCONDIDA 1987 F (Zorro PL) and ESKAPADA, 1985 F(Pagliachi) who produced ESKADRA (The Canadian) – the best of 90 females born in 1989 at Patterson Llamas.
