Blaydon Alpacas began in 1996, with proprietors Carol and Matt Ridley purchasing their initial stock in 1999. That same year, they began the development of a database that linked Australian alpaca show results with the female families of the alpacas concerned. This database now embraces NZ as well and covers over 600 shows dating back as far as 1991.

Our corporate objectives are:

  • To breed and/or acquire huacayas that exhibit continually improving fleece and conformation characteristics
  • To develop, maintain and provide access to an accurate database that provides useful linkages between show results and alpaca pedigrees, based on the thoroughbred horse model
  • To provide a range of consultancy services to the alpaca industry consistent with our skills and experience in sales, marketing and technical writing
  • To actively and usefully contribute to the development of the overall alpaca industry in our region and nationally
  • To deal fairly and openly with others and be highly regarded within the industry for doing so
  • To enjoy ourselves
