Evidence Based & Purpose Bred
Welcome to Forget the Paint Alpacas. This is a small breeding program located in the Edson area focused on producing animals that are intended to be excellent "all-rounder's". My hope is to produce alpacas who are above all sound in conformation; enjoy consistent, high quality fleece production with longevity; who sport highly tractable temperaments. I use evidence based practices to inform my breeding decisions, and find great pleasure in identifying the best niche each individual animal may fill as I work towards the goal of producing a well rounded herd of animals that could meet almost any future programs needs.
Presently, we compete in Fleece and Halter shows across Western Canada, with much of the herd having been proven in the ring. Outside of the ring, many of my animals have experience participating in PR work, contributing to educational events, and several are in the preliminary training process with the goal of meeting the criteria for certification as therapy animals. I am a shearer and a fibre artist, with experience processing much of the herd's clip by hand, from shearing to spinning and beyond.
I am an active supporter and member of the Canadian alpaca industry, with active memberships with Alpaca Canada, the Canadian Llama and Alpaca Association (CLAA), and the Alberta Livestock Producers and Cooperators Association (A.L.P.A.C.A.), in addition to international memberships with the Alpaca Owners Association (AOA).
I am passionate about these animals, their well-being, and the industry, and am always happy to answer any questions or provide any support I can to anyone interested in or new to alpacas.
