Gia and Me
I’m an alpaca breeder with a small herd in Colorado. Besides loving the breeding side of the business, I love to work with the fiber — dyeing, spinning, and knitting. My husband and I moved to the country in 2003 and would probably shrivel up if ever forced to return to the suburbs.
Along with the alpacas, I have a whippet and three cats. My cats, of course, were brought on to keep the pest population down but can be found most evenings snoozing on the furniture inside while the rodents run amok outside. My whippet is the only animal on the property who is not required to work for her upkeep. As my husband and erstwhile cheerleader of my business says: “This is a testing place, not a resting place.” There’s always something to do.
I go to alpaca shows every Spring and Fall and am usually running around with my head cut off. But if you see me, please say “hello”. I’d love to hear what you think of my blog.

Just came across your blog. I’m from Ireland and I have never seen an Alpaca before in my life , they are abit like small llamas are they? They are lovely, so wooly and cute. I will learn more about them if I go and read the rest of your blog
All things nice..
Alpacas are related to llamas, more like cousins. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the rest of my blog. I’m sure there are quite a few alpaca breeders in Ireland. Google and see what’s close to you and I hope you can visit and meet an alpaca in person. They are indeed lovely.
