Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Dog Attack, any advice on Suri alpacas as replacements?
Typically, selling a huacaya out of 2 suris is much easier than selling a suri with huacaya in the pedigree. If suri is the dominant gene, then a huacaya out of suris is 100% huacaya and most people seem to accept that. However, a suri with a huacaya in the background is known to be heterozygous and therefore harder to market. (Which makes little sense since many suris have huacaya ancestry, but are "hidden" for the heterozygous gene). If I were breeding huacayas, I wouldn't hesitate to take on a huacaya out of suris if it demonstrated the fleece qualities I was looking for. As a suri breeder, I have to confess to having a really nice suri gal whose dam was huacaya (not intentional, I assure you). I will breed her to the best suris I can acquire or afford, but she will always be in my foundation herd because of the difficulty in marketing a suri with huacaya genetics.

Hello there,
good to read that healing is happening.
I'll leave the question of marketability of a huacaya out of two suris to those dedicated to huacayas and speak to the issue of the suri with the huacaya on the pedigree. It has become increasingly difficult to market such suris and thus this sector of the market seems to have softened the fastest and the farthest. The stigma (right wrong or indifferent) associated with having a huacaya on a suri pedigree has only grown in recent years.
Just something to keep in mind when looking for suris. If the quality out weights the pedigree it might be a great deal. As long as you go into it with your eyes open.

> Hi everybody, I really appreciate all of the advice, and condolences. You all have really helped me through the process of healing. I am still not sure if my insurance is going to pay, but they have all the information they need now and I am only waiting to hear from them. I have been looking at alpacas to purchase and I am considering Suri's this time because someone has a package of 3 suri girls and 1 Huacaya girl for $7000.00. The only thing is I don't understand alot about Suri's becuase I studied huacaya's. The Huacaya they are offering is out of 2 suri's and one of the suri's is an F3 Suri. Will I be able to sell a huacaya out of 2 suri's? Can anyone give me some advice? Thank you all in advance and God Bless.
