Join us for three days of learning a kind, efficient, safe and science based approach to training and managing llamas and alpacas. Whether you have 2 llamas or 200 alpacas CAMELIDynamics will save you time and make living with your animals easier and more fun. Hathor Alpacas in located in beautiful Vernon BC just down the road from the home and farm of Robyn Hood, LindaTellington-Jones' sister and TTouch Instructor. While you are learning more about CAMELIDynamics you can also take this opportunity to attend a clinic with Robyn. She is offering a Companion Animal Training the July 19-24 for more information visit http://ttouch.com/eventsLocation.shtml
Hathor Alpacas is situated in the stunningly beautiful Okanagan Valley, overlooking Swan Lake, hills and mountains. It's a peaceful and serene spot, with alpacas adding enchantment. While the farm is in its infancy, it has grown from four to ten alpacas in just a year and a half. The foundation females were purchased from Craig and Heidi Bacon's Tocino Alpacas. The alpacas, at both Tocino and Hathor, have been breed for fine, bright and uniformly crimp fleeces as well as conformation. Four of the five cria raised at Hathor are out of Tocino Alpaca's Aztec Inukshuk, a fantastic stud out of Snowmass Accoyo Artic Ice whose offspring have performed admirably at shows. The breeding females have also produced a number of ribbon winners, including a first place at the 2013 Canadian Select Sale & Futurity in Red Deer. The two young males are ribbon winners for fleece and conformation and will be ready for breeding in 2015.
