Alpacas were a cherished treasure of the ancient Incan civilization. They played a central role in the Incan culture and were located on the high Andean Plateau and mountains of South America. They are very hardy animals who are still raised in their native home in the Andean mountains at about 10,000-14,000 feet. They were traditionally raised for their luxurious fiber or fleece. Alpacas are a member of the camel family, which also includes dromedary camels, llamas, vicunas, and guanacos.  Alpacas have been raised in the high Andes mountains for centuries. Alpacas are one of the oldest domesticated breeds of animals. Alpacas were first imported to the United States in 1984. Alpacas are now being successfully raised and enjoyed throughout North America and abroad. Alpaca breeding has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry in North America and is still on the rise. Alpacas cannot be mass-produced and are rare outside of South America.
   Alpacas are herd animals, and are generally kept in groups of two or more. They have soft padded feet, making them gentle on pastures and grass lands. Alpacas only have teeth at the bottom of their mouth for eating. They are grazers and like cattle chew their cud. Alpacas selectively graze, eating pasture grasses and hay, along with small amounts of feed and minerals supplements feeding them is relatively inexpensive. Alpacas are mature enough to breed between the ages of 12-18 months and normally have only one baby per pregnancy. They are virtually odorless and do not attract flies like other livestock. Alpacas are considered a disease resistant animal, which may lower the cost of veterinary care. They are quiet and are said to make a humming sound. Alpacas are safe and gentle animals, they do not bite or butt like some farm animals can. Alpacas can live up to 15 to 20 years and make excellent companion animals and pets.
  Alpacas are often raised as an alternative to other domesticated livestock. They are one of the few animals which can be profitably raised on small farms. They require a small amount of acreage compared to other livestock, usually about ten acres or less. Alpacas are happy in a small area and are easy on the environment. Alpacas also thrive in temperate climates. They are easy to care for and don’t require any special type of shelter. They are clam and quiet animals that are easy to handle. They have been and still are used as pack and guard animals.
   Alpacas are very intelligent and are easy to train. In just a few sessions they will pick up and retain many behaviors such as accepting a halter, being led, lifting a foot for toenail trimming and being loaded into a vehicle. Alpacas like other livestock are blood typed to insure the accuracy of breeding records, this is to provide absolute identification and documentation of bloodlines.
   Alpacas provide one of the most luxurious fibers in the world, it can come in 22 colors and is recognized by the textile industry. They only need to be sheared once a year and may produce 5 to 10 pounds of soft fiber that is turned into warm garments. Alpaca fleece is comparable to cashmere in softness and can be mixed with other fibers, like mohair, this vary’s the texture of the yarn produced. Alpaca fibre is similar to sheep’s wool, but it is lighter in weigh and silkier to the touch. The fibers are warmer and do not have a prickly feel. They also contain no lanolin and make it hypoallergenic. Alpaca fibers are hollow, which make for great insulating properties. Alpaca garments can be worn comfortably against your skin.  Read more...

As most things on the earth, “wear and tear” is something that everything and everyone has to deal with. This goes for clothes, electronics and of course, flesh and bone. As humans have the weakening and pain of bones and joints, so do the canines. This is called Dog Osteoathrosis or Dog Arthritis and the term can be used when talking either about arthritis or degenerative joint disease. This is usually characterized by the pain and swelling of the joints due to the deterioration or breakdown of the cartilage that protects the ends of the bones as well as the inflammation or swelling of the tissue that line the joints. Once these protective layers are thinned down to nothing, the bones eventually touch and rub against one another resulting in pain. Bony projections called osteophytes are present with this condition and add to the suffering.

There are two types of osteoarthrosis: the primary and secondary degenerative joint disease. The first occurs with all dogs of any age depending on the activities that they engage in. Through these activities, the “wear and tear” rule applies. Secondary degenerative joint disease are displayed by conditions known as elbow or hip dysplasia which affect breeds that are prone to this due to congenital joint problems. How can one detect if the dog has this condition? It may not be easy if owners are not properly or well attuned with their dog. Dogs usually have a higher threshold of pain due to their lack of the ability to speak of it when it is present. People can simply take medications when they feel some pain or discomfort developing but a dog either bears the pain or prefers to lie still and not budge.  Read more...
