Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Help, I need advice on replacing my girls after the dog attack.
Hi Wendy;
Glad you made that point. We have 2 bolivian males. One is a while 2x Grand Champ there our of Canada (MMR Sundown out of the Sky Pilot line) and he does very well for us. Ver impressive babies with his grand cria taking ribbons and championships. He shears up to 12 pounds of fleece a year, 8 of that is normally his prime fiber. He is WHITE and he is crimpy, dense, bright and impressive, and the sweetest personality. We also have a DSG herdsire out of Bolivian Black Thunder lines. He isn't huge but he is also very impressive and the one baby he did sire was a stunner. Blue black, full face and crimp as soon as he popped out and dried off. I wouldn't trade these two boys to save my life. We also have full Chileans as our foundation stock in both sires and dams, not to mention a couple peruvian lines, one being the renouned Bueno.

I understand all that. Perhaps I should have been more specific--it is easier to research alpacas that were shipped through Peru as they kept good records and all are easily searchable online. Most of these listings include histograms and the evaluators comments. There is nothing like this I have been able to find for Chilean and Bolivian. Accordingly, I am asking who some of the outstanding Chileans and Bolivians are and what are they known for. So far I've heard to look for Acero Marka, The Silversmith, Rolling Thunder and Patagonia, though other than the Silversmith, the others are farms and I'm sure have good and bad, so again, I can't get a baseline, though at least I have a start.
Thanks,
Morgen

Exporter/Buyer buy from all over South American and then sell from their home port. Yes I have been there and talked with these people and seen the animals at the ports and in the wild(so to speak as all aplacas are really domesticated and owned by someone). Having a pure peruvian line simply means that all were sold out of the Port(s) in Peru.
