Being a family that has always had animals of some description in the household, there seems to have been a natural progression, from guinea pigs to alpacas with a variety of creatures between over the last 30 years. From Guinea Pigs it was rabbits, ferrets, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, pigs, horses and then alpacas. How did we get hooked on alpacas? It was easy. They are such adorable, lovable creatures that it is actually impossible not to fall in love with them at first sight! So back in 1999 when we first became aware of them we discussed the possibility of how best to obtain some quality stock. Thus we set out on a recce in 2003 and visited as many Alpaca farms as we could, in particular many in the South of England. After hundreds of miles, many hours of discussions and viewings, with so many Alpaca owners, we were well and truly smitten. To cut a long story short we finally decided to invest in a shipment of top quality alpacas direct from Peru as part of Bozedown’s “Dream Selection” It did take a long time from placing our order to arrival at our croft. It must have been an adventure of a lifetime for the alpacas as they travelled from Peru to Switzerland for quarantine before making their journey to Bozedown in England for mating and then on to Scotland to their new home. Fourteen months on we finally had our starter herd of 3 pregnant females. That’s how it all began. .
