Miniature llamas are intelligent,
charming animals that are also very rare! There are now 685 miniature llamas registered in the USA and Canada:
130 foundation minis, 203 immature minis and 352 mature miniature llamas.
Mini-llamas are easy to handle and about the size
of alpacas. If a 500 lb. llama is too large for you, consider owning a 225 to 250 lb. mini-llama.
Mini-llamas are recognized and registered
with the International Llama Registry (ILR). Miniature llamas and alpacas
make great companions and can browse together in the same pasture. Mini-llamas behave like standard
llamas in every way. Indeed, mini-llamas think they are 10 ft tall and make good guard animals.
A cria born from registered miniature llama parents can be registered with the ILA, just like a standard-sized
llama. When the cria is 3 years old, if it measures 38 inches or less at the withers,
ILR then assigns it the "miniature"
status. Females that at three years of age measure between 38 to 40 inches can be registered as foundation miniature llamas.

Rob Roy is my smallest mini-llama herdsire, and I am thrilled to acquire this extremely rare appaloosa mini-llama. Third-generation mini-llama and third-generation appaloosa from both parents being appies and
strong appie genetics in both sides of his pedigree. He has a really nice temperament and is very easy
to handle. This striking male is siring very handsome babies.
My first cria, Holiday Splash, from him is a stunning little girl.
Outstanding herdsire with great presence and dignity.
Beautiful head and extremely sweet temperament. The freckles on his head hint at
the appaloosa heritage of his appaloosa Dad, Razzel Dazzel and the possiblilties of
throwing appaloosa crias.
Romeo is affectionate, gives kisses and has won a 1st place in obstacle and performance.

Very lovely dam with gorgeous champaign-fawn fleece and wonderful harlequin mask on her eyes. She's a 4th
generation miniature llama on her sire's side.
A very sweet girl with easy going temperament. Tropicana has just delivered a female cria out of Startime. This
cria girl is a true black with a white star on her neck and 1 white sock. I plan to breed her to Romeo
for a March 2007 cria.
This gorgeous little appaloosa girl is my newest acquisition. I've always wanted to add this patterning
to my herd. She is one of the last crias of the
late great Bolivian Razzel Dazzel. She will be bred in late March 2007 to LNB Rob Roy,
a 35" appaloosa mini-llama.
