He is the first animal to win the title three times.
Mr Strack said he believed it was the first time the same animal had won supreme champion in breed classes at a national alpaca competition three times in either New Zealand or Australia.
Valentino won the same title at the National Alpaca Expo at Hamilton last year.
''We were chuffed. We were not expecting it. Valentino has won his age group championship every year, which is pretty unusual. He is a pretty special animal.''
The breed classes were judged by highly respected international judge, British-born American Amanda van den Bosch, Mr Strack said. Valentino also won champion senior huacaya male and champion white huacaya, while his fleece won champion senior male huacaya fleece and best white huacaya fleece. The Stracks had a very successful show, winning 13 ribbons in all. Valentino's half-brother, Stoneleigh Odysseus, won champion intermediate huacaya male and reserve champion white huacaya, behind Valentino. However, Valentino's fleece was beaten in the fleece competition by a fleece entered by first-time exhibitors Graham and Joca Keen, of West Eyreton, near Oxford. The Keens claimed supreme champion huacaya fleece with their female alpaca, Oak Ridge Ayla, to complete a North Canterbury dominance in the huacaya alpaca classes. Mr Keen said Ayla was bred by fellow North Canterbury breeders Martin Bennett and Debbie Wallace, of Loburn. There were 150 huacaya fleeces entered in total. He said he was thrilled with the ''stunning result'' as the couple were first-time entrants in the National Alpaca Expo and ''absolute newbies in the industry''. The West Eyreton breeders own the High Chaparral Alpaca stud. Ayla was also awarded first place in the junior (6-12 months) female light fawn fleece class, champion junior light fawn fleece and champion light fawn fleece. Meanwhile, Temuka breeders Anne and Neil Godfrey claimed the double, winning supreme champion suri fleece, with a fleece from Fairhaven Jazmyn, and supreme champion suri breed, with their male, Fairhaven Houston.
