We are a small breeder based just over the Devon/Cornwall border and have been breeding alpacas since 2007. Being small, however, doesn’t mean that we compromise on quality - we have an absolute passion for GREY alpacas and are very focused on our breeding programme. Our animals pedigrees boast some of the best grey genetics that are on offer in the UK today, along with some top notch black genetics too.
Due to the scarcity of good grey males, and the difficulties of travelling females with cria at foot any great distance, we decided early on that we would need to accommodate some top quality grey herd sires here at Rosecraddoc. And over the years, we have built an impressive stable of grey herdsires but also continue to make use of top quality outside coloured genetics, predominantly black and grey, in our breeding programme.
Greys are notoriously difficult to breed so you will see other colours in our herd, along with the occasional patterned animal for fun (as we have a real scientific interest in colour genetics).
We keep our herd size small so that we can devote time to, and enjoy, individually feeding and handling our animals. As a result our animals are relaxed around people, feed from the hand, are halter trained and easily handled.
We often have animals for sale in a variety of colours/patterns (pets and breeding animals).
