Spittin' Image Alpacas® originated in California in 2008. Little did we know our investment research would lead us to these extraordinary creatures. After taking our first tour of a ranch in Somis, CA (during shearing) we were hooked and so the addiction began! We didn't have thousands of dollars to invest so we knew that our patience would be tested in an attempt to grow our herd. Our first purchase was a pregnant female and her cria. A few months later we were able to purchase a young male in hopes that he would "Walk on Water." In so doing our lives have been changed forever. I can't imagine not having an alpaca fix everyday!
First, and foremost we agreed that the health of our animals would supercede everything else. Secondly, we would make the best decisions possible in regards to breeding combinations to produce quality animals with noble traits.
We have met some wonderful alpaca people along the way that have unselfishly shared their experiences. I have never met such a wonderful group of people that are so collaborative versus competitive. We are more than pleased to share our experiences with new owners as well.
May all your days be filled with humming!
