[AlpacaTalk] patterned alpaca search problem

I have encountered a problem when searching for alpacas with patterns,
multis, pintos or appaloosas on both Alpacanation and the registry. It appears
people are registering their animals as being "patterns" when all they have is
a white spot on the face or legs or are even solid bay blacks. It is
extremely frustrating to search for patterned alpacas.

I recently wrote to ARI and got a response that they will take it into
consideration. If anyone else has this problem, please write to them and let them
know. We need to change something, either put in an explanation on the
registration application of exactly what a patterned alpaca is and how it should
be registered, or have each registration application accompanied by a picture
of that alpaca.
