Re: [AlpacaTalk] Pet peeve

 

So I guess we agree.  We don't know if they are Full Peruvian, Full Bolivian or Full Chilean. It is all marketing.  I tend to just stick with the facts on proven records and fiber.  Give me the facts, histograms and whatever else you have on their ancestors. The more the better.  I don't care where people think  their ancestors might have come from We need to talk about that more and get the ancestor thing out of the picture. Again just my thoughts.

To what extent, I don't know if we'll ever know. How true the legend or Roger Haldane smuggling Peruvian alpacas into Chile for export to Australia is always a debate. I do agree, when it comes down to it, it's fleece quality that is most important.  Heather On Nov 21, 2009, at 5:32 PM, Richard & Robin Vasquez wrote: Well let me chime in and stir the pot a bit.   I don't know what full Alianza is but if you listen to the people involved in the import process long ago it depended on where it happened to be easier to export at the time.  Peruvian alpacas were moved and exported from Bolivia or Chile.   Alpacas that were in Bolivia or Chile were transported to Peru and were exported from Peru.  I don't think we really know where they are from and not really sure it matters in the long haul.  What matters is their fleece quality and hopefully their proven lineage and records.    Just my thoughts.
