We are Allister and Claire Perry, alpaca breeders from the outskirts of Dunedin, a city in the Otago region of the lower South Island of New Zealand. We are owners and breeders of these truly enchanting and fascinating animals. Our journey into the farming of alpacas began by doing just what you are probably doing right now – searching the web for information. Almost eight years ago we decided to exit the rat race of city life and head for the country. It was the best decision we have ever made. While searching for the right farmlet real estate agents would ask what we were going to use the land for. That was the tricky part as we weren't sure, then one momentous day an agent said how she would love to have land and run alpacas. Our response was, "alpacas - what are they?" That was the beginning of the search to learn more and this is our final destination – farming alpacas. Life couldn't be better! We have learned so much over the past couple of years we thought we would share our experiences with you. So feel free to click away. But before you head off to delve into the other pages our boxer dog Buddy is feeling a bit left out by all the attention his mates the alpacas are getting so he wants to show you that he has some tricks too. Buddy's obsession is with balls and he likes to fill his mouth with as many as he can find. What other dog do you know that can hold 3 tennis balls in its mouth at one time? "Beat that alpacas!!"
Buddy ball boy! PS: Buddy wants you (and the alpacas) to know he won a silver medal in the New Zealand Masters Games for his stunning performance in agility. Not bad for a young fella who has only recently started competing!

- his niece so he is now 'Uncle Buddy'!
