Spotsie Dotsie

ARI# 1080766   D.O.B. 10/14/2004  (7 yrs)  (Due Date: 5/10/2012)

Huacaya, Female (Bred), Proven | White

Full Chilean

Spotsie's sire is true black and she shows off that black on her feet, face and the spots that gave her her name. She has medium density fiber with a good staple length. She's a big girl - was over 19 pounds when born. She has had 3 crias with no difficulty and plenty of milk each time. We are breeding Spotsie to our herdsire, Vagabond.

Have you ever had an alpaca that 'enjoyed' being pregnant? Well, it seems as if pregnancy agrees with Spotise! Although the crias annoy her at times, while pregnant she will often rub noses with my husband or I and enjoys a hug around the neck.

Willing to negotiate price. I'm finding the fiber side of the alpaca business is where my heart lies and is taking all the time I can give it. So we are working our way out of the breeding side of the business to give me more time for spinning, knitting, felting, dyeing, etc, etc. We will still be around to support our customers.
