A couple spoke to us about buying stock in the Southwest as they had been warned off by a breeder local to them. These people cam from north of the SWAG region but I can't remember from where exactly. Luckily the had decided for themselves that if they wanted a good mix of Bloodlines they needed to look all over the country.Llama Karmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026288779588108584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-14320318692236549442010-10-29T11:24:16.339+01:002010-10-29T11:24:16.339+01:00I would usually say I keep out of politics too Bar...I would usually say I keep out of politics too Barbara , but once in a while I get so mad at the injustice of it all.......Suzanne@ Panteg Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719171147478819016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-41633612932037412692010-10-29T10:56:10.341+01:002010-10-29T10:56:10.341+01:00Thanks for the clarification Suzanne.

I don't wish to be too specific , save to say that to a southerner they are northern , but to a northerner they are probably midlands !! I have expressed my concern to the chair of the relevant group , who denies the comments , but I have heard from 2 other sources that the comments were made . I cannot name them or the group , but trust me he should have known better.Suzanne@ Panteg Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719171147478819016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-58440043963978968162010-10-29T07:34:08.213+01:002010-10-29T07:34:08.213+01:00Wow...sticking together??...As a member of the nor...Wow...sticking together??...As a member of the north east and north west alpaca groups this is news to me.

We need to be open and honest with each other which I feel is not always the case.<br /><br />Just for the record, I'm 'up north' and haven't been to, or heard of a meeting were people were told not to buy from the south West or Wales. <br /><br /><br />Thanks for my blog award too, I've never had one of those before :-)Debbie, Barnacre Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396470435865685697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-22512619718122615832010-10-19T14:47:04.644+01:002010-10-19T14:47:04.644+01:00I don't have any alpaca's but I enjoyed re...I don't have any alpaca's but I enjoyed reading your blog.. I read Maggie's Life daily and enjoy her blog.. I live in Iowa. Where the tall corn grows.. A lady down the road has a alpaca and poor thing needs some grooming.. We call him Freddy...When the grandchildren are here for a visit I take them to see Freddy and he nuzzles our necks.. He is so sweet.. <br />Sorry to hear the dilimma of the alpaca's in your country. That's a shame.. Fear is an ugly thing and people should shed away from it like water on a duck's back. Have a great day...Tiggeriffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039721574395014625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-50991668195893489212010-10-19T09:07:45.974+01:002010-10-19T09:07:45.974+01:00Well said, couldn't agree more.
