PF Carlos is our llama herdsire. He has
won every performance award available and is wonderful in crowds. He
would be fine by himself or with one of the alpacas but would be distracted
with another llama around him.

Long John Silver |

John is a huacaya alpaca, so he is about half
as big as the llamas above. John has been shown a lot and is good in
crowds. However, alpacas tend to be a bit more hyper than llamas, and they
are much more prone to kick. John is shown with a lion cut but his fibre
is more evenly distributed after he was shorn last summer. |

G.F. Apollo |

 |
|
Apollo is a huacaya alpaca. He has been
shown before and is good on a halter. He is about half the size of the
llamas above. Again, alpacas are a bit more hyper than llamas,
although smaller.
Apollo is seen here just after he was shorn last summer, so his fibre is
somewhat longer now. |

| These would be our top picks for llamas and
alpacas, but we have many more, different colours, etc. Most of them
have less time on halter than the ones shown here, but it doesn't take long
to get them used to being on halter so if we had a few days we could work
with them. If they just had to stand there on a halter, it wouldn't
take long to get any of them to do what was needed. |

Handlers for the
Llamas/Alpacas |
| |
|
|
| We would arrange to bring the llamas/alpacas to
the shoot and would be there to handle them. We are not backyard
breeders - we have many years of experience in training, handling and
judging llamas and alpacas. |
Donkeys - I talked to my husband about using our 35 year old donkey and he
agrees with me that it might be too stressful for her. However, we know a
person who breeds donkeys exclusively and I can give you his contact information
if you decide you want a donkey. He is better equipped than we are to
transport them as well. We move the llamas and alpacas in a van, but
donkeys really require a trailer they can walk into.
