Bonny Doon studs represent
all major color groups and are a genetically diverse group of animals with a
common thread of superb quality. A stud's qualities must be strong in both overall structural soundness and
fiber quality. A stud's value
is enhanced by the number of quality offspring he produces and from the depth
of his scientifically verifiable lineage.
We do not inbreed or line breed.
Some studs represent the fourth and
fifth generation of alpacas born at Bonny Doon. Even though we have studs with
five generations of Bonny Doon bloodline behind them we can trace all of our
studs lineages to their origins in Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and New
Zealand. In many instances we know the overseas farm that created a bloodline.
We use the standard AOBA stud contract and guarantee a live birth. Our
fees range from $750 to $2500 depending on the stud's record, potential and rareness.
Note: Studs in the US are often
marketed based on histogram results
(laserscan fiber
test). We don't mind competing on this basis but feel the
pros and cons of using histograms should be fully understood by a prospective
buyer. We strongly suggest reading "Fiber as a Transitory
Medium."

techniques.
