RE: [AlpacaTalk] Peruvian, Bolivian, Chilean differences
My $0.02 on what is sometimes a very political discussion.
Opinion: Effectively there is no difference, and the vast majority of
alpacas in this country today are mixed-source bloodlines anyway. While
there are a few breeders that have tried to maintain single country
bloodlines, most of us have only mixed-source animals anyway.
There are those who hold out for Peruvian animals thinking they have better
fleece. Some do, some don't, and even those with great fleece have peers in
the other source and mixed-source communities.
I'd be interested in someone taking the time to see whether any
single-source bloodline animals were color champions at big shows recently,
and if so, what percentage of the color championships went to single-source
bloodline animals vs mixed-source animals. I haven't looked at the data,
but my gut feel (sometimes wrong) tells me the single-source bloodline
animals won't be overly represented at the top of the ring.

I know I have heard this explained before, but what are the differences, if
any between Bolivian, Chilean, and Peruvian bloodlines? I believe I've heard
that there are none really and it is just marketing hype. True or false?
