Tirrian was born from a very very very difficult birth from Teekah, poor baby was delivered by vet, an barely alive, unfortunately we lost him half an hour later, and then lost the mum overnight. Heartbreaking. But they are now together.

Starflex is a daughter for Neopolitan princess and Amstel. NP had a difficult birth an blamed the pain on the cria, so would not allow her near, not at all, quite dangerous actually. So baby Starflex is also bottle reared, the pair with Joshy are very cute in the herd.

Baby Joshy is a son for Leopard and Julz, making him a pure suri! she wouldnt allow him to feed, only talked to him, so he is now bottle reared, but with the herd

Rainmakers name is suitable, as it was a fine morning and as soon as his toes appeared it flooded with rain for the rest of the day and following day!! He is a Bc1 suri son for Roz and leopard, Full brother to Ruxpin, see previous cria page for his pics.

Tanja Splashes is gorgeous, thrilled with how she turned out, she has a fawn saddle but the rest of her base coat is bright white, her neck spots are really dark, and she has black spots on her nose! She is very inquisitive too which I Love. Tanga is a Bc1 Suri daughter for Teegan and Leopard, full sister to Tanuja Spangles. See previous cria page for her pics, quite similar necks!

Ramona is her name, but again my daughter wanted the naming rights and called her Koala pants lol, so she has a long name. Ramona is a Bc2 suri daughter for Ramani and Leopard. Full sibling to Ranger and Ramiro. see previous cria page for there pics

Tinsel is her name for short, my 4 yr old daughter named her 2nd and 3rd names, lol, So Tinsel is a Bc2 suri daughter for Tressa and Leopard, Full sister to Tahnee and Tickled Pink, See previous cria page for there photos. Spots repeated for 3 years!

Mason is a Bc1 suri son for Maddy and Leopard, Full sibling to Mishka and Masquerade, see previous cria page.

Lady Leopard ( knicknamed Ella) is a Bc1 suri daughter for Freya and Leopard. This is one of the most difficult births I have ever had to assist with. Her neck was wrapped around her legs, so Freya had no hope of getting her out. It took me 45 mins to re arrange and get her out. I nearly lost them both. It was so similar to Astekkas difficult birth which I ended up getting the vet for, an by the time they got here, an wasted 1 hour trying to get her out, she died. She looked exactly like this one too. So as soon as I knew Ella was alive, I knew I was going to do it without the vets this time. And I am very proud I managed to save her. Freya was in alot of pain for the rest of the day she couldnt stand, and couldnt pass her placenta, so I had to remove that also. She was on antibiotics, lots of vitamins, Oxytocin and 2 lots of pain releif. I worried I would loose her over night as she still couldnt stand, and I was bottle feeding her baby. But in the morning she was bright and alert, I opened the shed and she raced out to greet her baby, ( which I had inside for the night) and she ate, drank, fed her cria and so far all is good with the pair.

Ella is a full sister to last years Leopard Junior, and the year before was Finnigan. Another interesting mating repeated 3 times, im rapt with the results of all 3! See previous cria page.

Azari is a Bc2 suri daughter for Anezka and Leopard. She has a couple of splashes of colour on her shoulder, belly and head.

Dante is a Bc3 suri son for Leopard and Incan Spice. He has a few different colours and different spots on him, very interesting. He is full brother to Incan Slater, and Incan Sultan, See previous cria pages, its quite interesting to see the repeated matings producing 3 boys so very different to each other.

Sunset Sweety was born on sunset, she is a Bc2 suri daughter for Incan Spice and Leopard. Full sister to Surskitt see previous cria page.

Cutie is a F1 suri daughter for Fascination and Leopard. Fascination for the 3rd time has no milk, so has gone onto retirement. And she was being hand reared and died one night at 5.5 weeks old.

Aishta born early easter monday morning, Bc2 daughter for Abbey and Leopard, full sister to Ashanti.

Tai Chi Tah is a Bc1 suri daughter for Tamika and Leopard, Full sister to Teekah see previous cria page.

Gawain is a Bc3 son for Galliano and Marc Antony. He is white with a light fawn saddle rump area.

Lazarus was born late in the avo, a Bc2 suri son for Tayo and Lainey, the night got too cold for him and he died the next morning. Tayo's firs born son, such a sad day.

Sakura's a little cutie, huacuaya born from 2 suris. Harley and Sadzia. She has black freckles on her face ears and legs so cute. She started going down hill age 4 days, went to the vets with difficulty breathing and crying, they did 3 x-rays and couldn't find anything wrong with her other than diahhorea and a temp. So she came home on a drip, antibiotics, scourban and vitamins, she skulled her bottle or elecrotlytes, stood up walked a bit, did a wee, then sat with her head in the air, mouth open, struggling to breathe and died 20 mins later. Such a sad sad shame....

Lachie is a son for Lexi and Harley. He had a rough entry, as his mum was a maiden and so very tight it took me about 45 mins to re arrange an stretch enough to manage to get his head out. His eyes are abit bloodshot, but other than that, and being a big boofhead, he is fine! Im sure when he was born he had a couple spots, but now dry I can only see some inside his ears.

Kritzle is a daughter for Kya and Blade. She is 2 weeks early, so Is a tiny wee little thing. Super cute tho! Very pleased she is a girl!!

Havianna is a F1 suri daughter for Hily and Leopard, she is full sibling to Stryker, Pity theres no spots, but Im rapt she is a girl.

Arnica is a Bc1 suri daughter for Anika and Leopard, full sister to incredibly spotty Amaretti Sparkles. Arnika was born with a heart murmour (hole in the heart) and her first week of life was full of over 35 degree days, and it was just too much she passed away age 1 week old.

Avenger is a F1 suri son for Avril and Harley. He has some interesting grey marks on his back legs, So Im wondering if he will be a colour change alpaca!

Fergus is a Bc2 suri son for Leopard and Finlay. Full brother for Fandango and Fiorella, see previous cria page.

Sancho is a son for Starburst(Baby) and Blade. He is a beautiful colour! and at age 3 months he is turning black at the skin.

He has a wry face.. This can be from either mum having an infection during pregnancy, or the genetics of the pairing of both parents. He is sucking well, he has had lots of bottles, and is now on mum, and he can breath perfect from one nostril, and about half of the other nostril. We will just see how he goes!

Mesprit and Harley had a still born daughter 5.2.13, fully formed but born dead 3 weeks early. I don't normally put up photos of stillborns, but this one was so cute, I just had to share how painful it is to loose something so beautiful...

Tequila is a Bc3 suri son for Tanzy and Marc Antony. He looks dirty but is solid white.

Amazon was was such a quick birth I only noticed her mum in labour when the legs were out, Amazon was up and running and drinking within 20 mins! Gotta love births like that.

Bimbi had a rough start to life, being premmie, and weighing only 4.4kgs, she was so weak she couldnt even hold her head up, nor stand for the first couple of days, So she spent her days with her mum outside, me feeding her hourly, and inside at night. On day 4 she was able to stand, so I would go out an put her under her mum every hour or so, but she was too weak to try for long. Eventually now 12 days later she is finally drinking from mum and not me anymore. She is still on antibiotics as she has watery eyes for some unknown reason. Last pic is her today 12 days old.

Misty cloud went into labour on a 42 degree day, by 8.30pm still nothing showing, so went in but couldnt get the head unwrapped, so called the vet 9.30pm Moet was born, her head was wrapped around one leg. She was up and feeding by 11pm, However the next day, when she stood noticed her legs, gave her 24 hours, and they are healing themselves, so were in a bad spot in the womb, and her tendons are getting stronger daily, and she will have perfect legs any day now! Moet is a full sister to Maroussia, Bc1 suri daughter for M.C and Leopard.

Bandicoot was born via an emergency c section, his mum is Breezer, and dad Leopard. Bandicoot when pulled out snapped his umbilical cord off too close to be clamped properly, so it had stopped bleeding when the vets left, but opened up again thru the night and he bled to death. Poor Breezer is still healing, after going thru all of that she then had a prolapse trying to get the placenta out. She is now 17.1.13 back with the herd, still on antibiotics and pain relief, as well as numerous other vitamins, yakult etc, and is walking and eating with the herd. She should hopefully make a quick recovery, but can never be bred from again.

Emrys is a Bc1 suri with some spots on his neck, tho they look faded now, he is a full brother to last years Sweet Esperenza. Son for Silky Empress and Leopard.

Tarantino is the first cria for Marc Anthony, his mum is Tamzin. He is a Bc2 suri male.

I just happened to drive in the driveway at the right time, and notice Lollipop had a head out that wasn't breathing. I managed to find the legs, and get him out to the shoulder/chest area, and a mass of liquid drained from him, and he took his first breath. Once fully out he was spirting blood from his umbilical cord, so he lost a fair bit of blood, I dashed to the house and back, clamped it, sprayed it an sat him up. He is walking and feeding, but abit lifeless. He is full term in weeks, but his legs are down, so he is showing signs of premminess. Son for Lollipop and Leopard. F1 suri.

Pomeroy is a Bc1 suri son for Pieta and Leopard. Bit disapointing as he is full brother to last years stunner Apache Princess. (see previous cria page)

Macaria is a Bc2 Suri daughter for Miette and Leopard. ( her mum is sister to Chadwicks mum)

Chad is a Bc2 suri son for Chariote and Leopard, full brother for Chantoozie freckles see previous cria page.

Napoleon in the shed, when let out everyone wants to meet him, go away Ruxpin says Nadine, as Whissla gets closer

Napoleon is a Bc1 suri, son for Nadine and Leopard. These pics were within his first 24 hours, he went down hill after that. Was inside for the next day an night with lots of bottles and warmth. He is now back outside with mum, having frequent drinks and improving slowly.

Blanket is a very pretty girl, look at that face! She is a pure suri daughter for Lakesha and Leopard. And look at the spots, she has the perfect Appaloosa blanket that is common among Appaloosa horses. Never seen it in Alpacas, So quite impressed with her! She also has a brown strip on one ear. Coat off for the first time today, and she is loving it! So bright white!

Tickled pink had a very rough entry into the world, She was not in the right birth position having one leg back and her head down, Vet did a good job getting her out, but for the first 3 days she had a very pink blood stained head and body. So her name is Tickled pink, she has just had her coat taken of today for the first time, and she is loving it. Very lustrous bright white fleece, with quite a few spots all over. She is a Bc2 Suri daughter for Tressa and Leopard. She is full sister to Tahnee see previous cria page.
