Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: breeder/references
Hi:
I have had a macho bite me for no apparent reason. He is a dominate male that I had pend in a corner stall next to an passage way into another section of my barn. One day as I was walking by in the passage he charged at me and bit me in the shoulder. This was not a love bite although due to my clothing it did not break the skin. He did however leave his teeth marks on my arm. This took two or three weeks to heal. I entered the stall and explained to him that I was head macho and that he was not to do that to me again. He has not attacked me again in the two years since thas happened.
By for now, Wayne

I've been following this from the "very" beginning when the incidents first happened. And though we are still in the research stage I was told about bezerk male syndrome at one of the farms that we have visited (what to look for) as an educational tool (we like this farm very much). And it sure sounds like it to me.
Anyhow, I also read the AlpacaNation forums and way back then I figured out that the breeder is on that forum.
"Has any one ever heard of an alpaca biting a human on purpose. We sold a package of 3 males and two females last month and now have been told the 4 yrs old male is charging them and today bit the husband in the chest. This male was very easy going and would come by name to be haltered to go spit test the girls or just to walk for a treat. "
"We were told he started this two wks after they got him to their farm. Two younger males also went with him and even though they were in different pastures they shared the fence line so they knew each other very well."
"The problem has been taken care of and not at all like I would have done it. He was put down yesterday. We didn't have any way to get to his new farm to bring him home. My husband and I know he was just lost with out his pasture buddies and then the lack of attention like we give to all of our alpacas. "
It's interesting that no one on that forum mentioned the bezerk male syndrome. Is it allegience as to who does the original posting?
I still think the breeder was as I would say in the dogworld "kennel blind".
You did the right thing.
