[AlpacaTalk] Re: spots
As you can see from the other replies, most of it is personal
preference. The only time it is a breeding issue is "white spot"--
when alpacas that both have the white spot gene are bred together you
are likely to get a blue-eyed, usually deaf, white. This occurs
primarily with greys bred to (i) colors that have white at their
extremities or (ii) whites. There are all sorts of theories behind it-
-you can search the archives for "white spot" here and on alpacasite
and will find out tons.

> hi - what is the issue about spots on an alpaca? Heather mentioned
it and aroused my curiosity - one of my favourite girls has spots -
she's beautiful and i can card four different colors from her: black,
silver gray, rose gray and steel gray. Everyone who sees her picks
her out of the herd and comments on how pretty she is

am breeding her this spring to our solid color, full Bolivian male,
mainly because of his bloodlines, not his color.
