Sumaq Valley Alpacas is located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, and is home to approximately 50 top quality alpacas.  Sumaq Valley Alpacas has been breeding alpacas since 2001 and maintains a herd of ARI and CLAA registered huacayas and CLAA registered suri alpacas.

Our aim is to breed excellent quality Canadian alpacas from proven Peruvian, Chilean, and Bolivian bloodlines.  To produce high quality alpacas, a very selective breeding program is necessary.  With each breeding, we carefully match each female to the best quality male to produce alpacas of outstanding quality. Participating in multiple shows each year also assists us in breeding decisions and every year, our success in the show ring increases.

Our focus at Sumaq Valley Alpacas is on breeding alpacas with superior fibre and excellent conformation.  To increase fibre value, we breed for fineness, density, and staple length. By breeding conformationally correct animals, including beyond what meets the eye, we are enhancing the alpacas ability to survive and reproduce with ease.

Looking to expand our coloured breeding program, we decided we needed new, full Peruvian bloodlines to introduce to our herd.  In 2008, we imported two males from the US, Candlelight's Peruvian Ninja (true black) and Dazzler's Peruvian Tahitian King (dark brown).  By the end of 2008, we also decided to purchase an unrelated white male to breed to our William daughters.  Mile High Peruvian Impressario finished his quarantine and arrived at our farm in April 2009.  And in July, 2009, we purchased an El Nino son, Accoyo America Kung Pao at the Parade of Champions Sale in Oregon.  Kung Pao is an exceptional male that we hope, will make a huge impact on our herd.  We look forward to the next few years when we will see the results of our latest purchases and breeding decisions!
