Welcome to Double 8 Alpaca & Llama Ranch

Double 8 Alpaca Ranch is located in Purcellville, VA, conveniently within an hour of Washington DC, Richmond, VA and Baltimore, MD. This is the home of Doug & Bonnie Kittrell -- as well as some of the finest alpacas in the US specializing in dark colors, especially black.

We personally care for our herd daily and manage our elite breeding program. Our goal is to breed healthy alpacas with excellent fleece characteristics (fine, crimpy and dense) with a color focus of BLACK and as of 2023, white alpacas. Our alpacas are selected based on genetics, hands-on fleece trait evaluation including density, consistency and fineness, estimated progeny differences, and laserscan fiber analysis.

Double 8 Alpaca Ranch added an elite selection of suri alpacas to the Double 8 herd in 2012. Introducing ~ 6-Time Color Champion, WLK Milano (a Peruvian Saber & Midnight Lockdown son) and 2012 FUTURITY Black Champion, GLR Black Diamond (a Shavano daughter). These two combined to create the top 10 suri show herd in the country in 2022/2023 show season. We have sold the entire show herd but retain Black Diamond and Milano to do it all again.

The care that we provide our alpacas and the commitment to our customers is what sets us apart from most breeders. We offer endless support prior to and after the sale of any alpaca from our herd. We are proud to say that our clients are 100% satisfied with our services and alpacas purchased to date. Ask for our references!

We are committed to the alpaca industry as a whole. As members of the New Jersey Alpaca Community (NJAC), we initiated and helped manage the first and very successful AOBA certified NJAC (New Jersey Alpaca Classic) level 3 alpaca show in 2009. We also initiated and organized the first Eastern Alliance Alpaca Pen Sale in 2008. We are current members of AOA, MAPACA, and VAOBA! We are the host farm to Loudoun County's non-ownership 4-H alpaca and Llama club.

We offer our beautiful natural yarn grown by our own beautiful herd for sale at our local farmers market in Leesburg and ashburn, VA. In addition to yarn, we have scrumptious raw fleece for the hand spinner. We also have alpaca socks, gloves, hats, sweaters, scarves, alpaca loofah soaps, teddy bears and alpaca figurines that would make a beautiful gift for any occasion!
