[AlpacaTalk] Re: Dog Attack, any advice on Suri alpacas as replacements?
Thank you all for the great advice. I have decided to stick with Huacayas, not because I think they are better, only becuase of this comment from Darlene, which really made me remember my girls and my love of their fleece and faces when I went to the barn, (you find yourself missing those fluffy
heads, then perhaps suris are not for you.) Thank you Darlene. This is not the only reason I have decided this. It is also becuase I don't want to chance getting Huacayas out of suri's. Suri's are beautiful, I have one male that I love, but I really thought about Darlene's comment and remembered going to the barn to see my girls and that is where I want to be. Again thank all of you for your advice as always you all were here to help me. God Bless.
