DMAR Updates for Week Ending February 2, 2008:

The female maremma puppy has been sold. We are thrilled that she will go to another alpaca ranch in Southern California. The ranch is Alpaca Knolls. Thank you Lorraine Smith. I know you will be very happy with your livestock guardian dog. Lorraine believes she will name the female poppy after her friends told her that the puppy looked like popcorn. Poppy will go to her new home in the middle of March.

The male maremma is still available. Please contact us if you would like more information on him. I can tell you that he is the spitting image of his sire, Santino. Don’t forget that we purchased Santino’s brother, Vincenzo, because we were so impressed with Santino. This little pup will make a great livestock guardian dog for your herd. He will show you the love you deserve and make sure no harm comes to your livestock. Don’t wait as he will go quickly!

Alpaca Update:

Carina is due anytime now. Day 335 is this Friday, February 1st. This is Carina’s first cria, so we are hoping for an easy birthing. She was bred to Snowmass Incan Emperor, our rose grey herdsire. Carina has a lineage of blacks and greys, so we will keep our fingers crossed that we will get a cria with some color. Keep watching the cam. You just never know when you will be witness to a birthing.

DMAR Maremma Puppies Update

Posted 18 January, 2008 in Maremmas | 5 comments

DMAR Maremma puppies update:

Well it has been almost 4 weeks (puppies born 12/23/07) since the puppies were born.  It is amazing how much they have changed. They were almost helpless being blind and deaf at birth to now just 3 weeks later walking around, barking, playing, and even growling.

They are beautiful little puffs of white that you can see on our live cam at www.desertmtnalpacas.com. Once on the main website select the live cam link at the top menu. It will scroll between the alpaca maternity ward and the puppies.

You can watch them play and just like one person observed one is more the aggressor. Can you guess which? Well it is the female. She seems to be taking after her mom. Although Bianca (bitch) is lovable to all who we introduce her to she is very hesitant and weary of the stranger. She takes her job seriously. We already can see that the female pup too gives us a growl/bark combo and then licks our faces. The male pup is just as cute and both puppies have their sire’s coat, Santino. Beautiful waves running through it.

Both puppies are for sale and will be ready by the end of March. Please contact us at 520-378-3263 for more information or by email at info@desertmtnalpacas.com.
