Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America
AFCNA is , I think, a brave group! They have weathered several storms, corrected mistakes, and taken lots of criticism constructively--and they are on track now, it seems, to produce and sell at a profit alpaca fiber products made from fiber contributed by members. Check them out yourself, talk to others. We think this organization is worth supporting.
Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Inc.
The first alpacas were imported into the United States in 1984. During the several years that followed that first importation, these original Alpaca owners began to meet and discuss the formation of an association. On June 17, 1988, at Shanty Creek Lodge in Bellaire, Michigan, 38 people gathered in a "special meeting" to discuss the formation (including by-laws and articles of incorporation) of what is now known as the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Inc. (AOBA). The basic by-laws were approved in October of 1988, and finally filed in September of 1990. In June of 1991, the Internal Revenue Service, under 501c(5) granted the association a non-profit status.
Alpaca Registry, Inc.
The Alpaca Registry lends strong credibility to the Alpaca Industry through it's careful use of DNA in registering alpacas and validating lineage. Plus, their website offers a wealth of information useful in doing research prior to breeding and animal purchases. There is no better place to begin to familiarize yourself with alpaca pedigrees, gain reproductive information, or investigate progeny and siblings. Registering your own animals and transferring ownership of sold animals is a snap. On the off chance you have a more difficult problem or question, though, I've always been really pleased with the help ARI staff provide by phone.
