New Alpaca Blog

We now have a new Alpaca Blog right on our Walnut Creek Alpacas website!

Over the years I haven't kept up with this blog like I wanted to. I am hoping with the new blog being on our website that it will be easier for me to update on a regular basis.

We invite you to join us on our new blog... see you there! :)

Busy with babies!

alpaca crias, babies

We're busy this fall season with alpaca crias. So far we have 9 on the ground and they are gorgeous. The babies are from our champion sires BF Riccardo, Masterpiece Aslan and Peruvian Alliance. They keep us busy but we love every minute of it.

New alpaca gifts at Walnut Creek!

We're all excited about our new products!




Several products were made using our alpaca kisses photo. It's really a cute picture of two alpacas kissing. Alpacas kiss by rubbing noses and in this photo I caught a herdsire kissing a new cria (baby) through the fence. The picture is made from a high quality digital photograph. Our products are fully customizable so you can have fun changing the size of the picture or change the style or the text. They make wonderful gifts for any occasion!

Taking pictures of black alpacas can be very challenging at times. Most of the time they look like a black shadow! :)

Thank you Dave...

A big thank you to my husband, Dave, for being an exceptional caretaker. I took this photo after he slept in the barn for about a week with this little cria. With much prayer and God's help, he saved her life!

Happy Father's Day!

Blue moving on...

Blue moving on...

Our beautiful stallion, Blue, was sold. He will be leaving any day now to go to his new home. I will probably cry when he leaves... he will be missed terribly.

We now have gifts available with this great picture of Blue plus we will be adding more! Visit us at Blue's gifts!

Leila our Anatolian Shepherd

Leila is our livestock guardian dog that replaced Sadie when she died. She is an incredibly smart dog and she's doing a fantastic job for us.

Anatolian Shepherds are an old Turkish breed. They were specifically bred to protect livestock and she has proved to be an excellent example of the breed.

She truly is amazing and worth her weight in gold. I've come to love her quickly and I depend on her greatly to protect our alpacas.
