[AlpacaTalk] First alpacas
Hi everyone - I am new to the list. I live in the south of New
Zealand and I am just about to buy my first two alpacas for the
purpose of breeding.
I purchased "the camelid companion" and I am up to about page 35.
From the research I have done to date it seems some alpaca lines are
flighty and more difficult than others - a flighty mother can often
have cria with the same disposition.
My question "can young alpacas (<2years) that appear scared and
flighty be turned around or should I stay well away from them?".
I ask because I have my heart set on a certain girl called Clover
but she seems quite fearful of humans. She is pregnant for the
first time. I really want to buy her and I trust in my ability as a
dog trainer - I use positive training techniques. So although I am
only now learning about camelids, I am not a complete novice when it
comes to animal behaviour.
The other girl I hope to buy will be really young - a weanling.
What do you all think? Should I buy Clover and hope for the best?
Thanks
Mandy
