The International Huacaya and Suri Breed Standards 2007
The International Alpaca Standard was developed at the inaugural sessions of the International Alpaca Judging School in the
Altiplano May 2000. Sixteen students and two instructors representing seven different alpaca-breeding countries participated
in drafting this document. Of the individuals involved, a majority are experienced judges and all are experienced breeders of
alpacas. It is believed that these Suri and Huacaya breed standards are excellent base documents for beginning open
negotiations for adoption on a global level. The intention is to set up a task force of representatives from each country to
make recommendation to the worldwide industry pertaining to adopting these standards. In November 2001 an additional 12
individuals were involved in upgrading the standards repeating the same process as had been used initially with the first draft
of the standards.
These standards are offered to the alpaca industry for the use of any individual that cares to refer to them. They are also
provided to be the standards for use with the International Show Format, which relies on a base standard for the judgment of
alpaca in the show ring. The offering is made with the assumption that the industry will dictate further development of the
alpaca standards as research is conducted and changes are required in the evolutionary process of the alpaca as a
commercial fibre production animal.
