[AlpacaTalk] Re: Seeking input on Alpacas

 

Hi Laura - yes, you can recommend breeders on the site, but you can't do a negative review. I set it up this way because I noticed a few bogus negative ratings, and realized there would be no way to effectively police this to see if they were genuine or not. One nasty rating could really affect someone's business, so I decided that it would focus on the positive. By allowing recommendations only, hopefully we can identify the best of the best.

Here's the Alpaca breeder page - http://www.rightpet.com/Livestock-poultrySuppliers/Suppliers/alpaca As you see, we haven't had many breeders add their listings yet. It is free and can be done by clicking "add a listing" on the right side of the page. Brett
