Subject: [AlpacaTalk] BEW- Wendy - cria with red lips

Hi Wendy,
Just trying to get caught up on all my reading, and I am waaayyy behind, but I wanted to let you know that the square pupil and the redness around the lips and nose are not indicative of a BEW.  All pacas have the non round pupil, they are hard to see on darker eyed animals.
And the redness could have been many things, some whites are born and their membranes seem really red compared to your darker animals, but it can mean infection, sunburn.... not BEW :))
Hope you take an objective look before you decide to geld.  If his eyes are darker blue/gray, that is well within the range of 'normal'.  The true "BEW" has those cool icy colored (actually colorless) eyes.
 
I know many, many breeders who have BEW females in their herds.  With all the new knowledge we have the whole BEW freak out seems to be over.
 
I would think about breeding a true BEW male, there is still a stigma out there, and truly- you would have to be very careful in choosing his dates, but I wouldn't hesitate to breed a BEW female nowadays.  I know exactly how to NOT get one again. Think you could post a picture of his eyes in the photo section?
Slainte~
