London Alpacas herd at the London Alpaca Farm
We specialise in breeding the friendliest alpacas backed by elite genetic lines. While the majority of our herd consists of carefully selected females, our breeding program has been built over years of pairing with Elite studs to create top-tier alpacas. Moving into 2026, we are proud to introduce our very own resident herd sire to anchor our breeding strategy: Chinchero Fare.
Some of our animals are pregnant, so we recommend you follow us on Instagram for updates on the herd, including new babies!
Our Stud: Chinchero Fare
Although he doesn’t participate in visitor experiences, his world-class genetics and show-winning lineage earn him a premier spot at the very top of our herd.
Elite fleece proven in the show ring
Chinchero Fare represents the next generation of our herd’s genetic advancement.
Proven in the show ring, he claimed 1st Place at the Spring Live South Of England Halter Show and placed 2nd at the Heart Of England Spring Fiesta.
His show career is far from over, as Fare has inherited his sire’s exceptional longevity of fineness, a signature trait we are excited to distribute across our herd.
Fare’s 3rd fleece tested at 16.9 micron, 4.0 SD, and 100% comfort factor in 2026.
Sire Lineage: Softfoot Koo Wee Rup
Fare’s sire, Softfoot Koo Wee Rup, is an Australian import renowned for delivering incredible fleece fineness and longevity, boasting 3 Champion and multiple Reserve Champion titles across major Australian fixtures.
His progeny have carried on this legacy across the UK, securing multiple 1st place ribbons, 3 Championship titles, and a Reserve National Champion title, highlighted by multi-champion male Chinchero Flint.
Further back in Rup’s pedigree are heavy-hitting Australian lines including Softfoot Corroboree, Softfoot Ceroc, Alpacaspecialist Black Sapphire, Coonawarra Gladiator, and Parnabrae Brutus.
Dam Lineage: Redens Butterfly
The quality continues on his dam’s side through Redens Butterfly, a line defined by elite dark Huacaya bloodlines.
Her pedigree connects directly to powerhouse names in the alpaca world, including ATA Cambridge Centurion (2x BAS National Best Black Huacaya), EP Cambridge Storm Cloud (sire to multiple National 1st place and Champion winners), Windsong Valley Firedragon, and Cambridge Frou Frou.
Redens Butterfly produces top-tier show performers; alongside Chinchero Fare, her progeny includes National 1st place winner and multi-prizewinning female Chinchero Ebony.
Shaqiri
Shaqiri is one of our original alpacas who was born on the 15th June 2016 just like Isabella her sister.
She has really nice brown coloured fleece, and her yarn is always very popular! This is no surprise as her sire is also the multi price winning stud Valley View Mochachino!
She’s the proud big mama of our herd, spreading her fantastic genetics to her offspring!
Luna
Luna was born on 24th September 2018 from Shaqiri.
Luna has a black fleece, and holds some fantastic genetics passed to her by Lyme Eric and Shaqiri. Her first fleece tested at an amazing 16.3 microns, which falls into the top classification called ‘Ultra Royal’!
As you can see Luna enjoys napping a lot!
Indigo
Indigo joined our herd in early 2019. She looks absolutely stunning in her special grey fleece colour! Breeding grey alpacas is difficult and we hope she will share these stunning genetics with her Cria (baby alpaca) in the future!
It’s also worth mentioning that where there is food, you will find Indigo! Look out for her nudging away her friends when you’re feeding them.
Peaches
Together with Indigo, Peaches joined our herd in early 2019. She has the same sire Lyme Eric & price winning grand-sire Valley View Mochachino as Indigo, which is probably why they look so similar.
The key difference is that Peaches’ fleece is a rose grey colour. Just like Indigo’s silver grey, this is a rare colour for an alpaca to have. Her fleece is also very fine at 19.9 microns.
Peaches works very hard on her eye makeup every morning. Be sure to checkout her lashes and eye liner!
Artemis
Artemis was the first alpaca that was born into our herd! She was born close to a full moon so we named her after the Greek Goddess of the hunt & the moon.
Artemis loves playing with Luna who’s her half sister. She was passed some incredible genetics by her Lyme herd sire and our Isabella, as her cria fleece tested at an incredibly fine 16.5 microns gets referred to as ‘Ultra Royal’ grade.
Isabella
Isabella is one of our original Alpacas. She’s a light fawn colour and born on the same day as Shaqiri!
Her sire is Valley View Mochachino, a rose grey stud who’s won multiple grey classes at shows! She’s passed on her lovely genetics to Artemis & Elsa.
Mooncake
Meet Mooncake! She shares the same dam & sire as Luna, which shows the incredible variation of colours in alpacas! She was born in the week of Chinese moon festival, during which it’s traditional to eat moon cakes. Quite a fitting name we thought!
She’s got a lovely fawn fleece, passed to her by Luna & her sire Lyme Eric.
Mochi
Named after our favourite Japanese dessert, she’s really living up to her name by becoming a visitor’s favourite!
Her sire is a grey, and it’s possible that she has been passed these genes!
Mochi is gentle, caring and very curious!
Elsa
Elsa was our first white fleeced alpaca, adding to our wide variety of colours. She was born in July 2020 from Isabella. This makes her Artemis’ sister!
She was named by fans of the farm after their favourite Frozen character.
Elsa has a great fleece, which is no surprise as her Sire is Wessex Alonso. A stud who won the South of England show multiple times.
Marsh Mellow
Marsh-Mellow is Shaqiri’s 3rd cria, which makes her the sister of Luna and Mooncake.
She’s very friendly & confident. She’s attended several events including ICL in this photo.
Just like Elsa she carries a great fleece, with input from their joint Sire Wessex Alonso.
Oreo
Oreo is Indigo’s first cria, and seems to have received her grey genes. Her sire is the stunning price winning appaloosa (spotty) stud Yenaminut Guillermo, imported from the FPA herd in Australia!
Oreo seems to have inherited this spotty gene as well, and her grey is now showing in the form of spots!
Oreo is very friendly, curious & gentle!
Boba
Boba is Peaches’ first cria born in 2023 and named after our favourite drink ‘bubble tea’! She’s has a beautiful brown crimpy fleece. Often closely following Peanut around or giving Spring Roll a chase!
She has the same stunning price winning sire Yenaminut Guillermo from Australia as Oreo!
Peanut
Peanut is Luna’s first cria, which means that Shaqiri is now a proud grandma as of 2023!
Peanut has a fantastic fleece which is no surprise as her sire Redens Burberry has won prices at 4 black classes at multiple shows in the UK!
Spring Roll
Spring Roll is a funny fawn coloured 2023 cria who loves doing the zoomies around the field, often closely followed by Peanut & Boba!
She’s got a cracking fleece with grey in her bloodlines as her sire is the Eastern Alpaca Show grey class winner Burnt Fen Humphrey.
Katsu
Katsu, was born into the herd in 2024. She’s Artemis’s first daughter. She was born on the same day as Blackberry, and Artemis was a little confused, thinking initially that Blackberry was her baby. Shaqiri was quite happy to share the mom duties with her, but a couple of hours later Artemis gave birth to her own Katsu!
Katsu’s sire is Redens Burberry, a stunning male who’s won lots of 1st prices at alpaca shows throughout the country, including the national!
Tiramisu
Tiramisu was born here at the London Alpaca Farm, a few days after Katsu and Blackberry in 2024. She’s Peaches’ daughter and Boba’s sister. She inherited her mom’s special Rose Grey colour, which is absolutely stunning.
Her sire is Burnt Fen Humphrey who came 1st in the Sr Grey class at the Eastern Alpaca Halter show and was awarded Grey Reserve Champion of all ages!
Blackberry
Blackberry was the first 2024 cria who was born at the London Alpaca farm. She’s named after the delicious blackberries that grow at the bottom of our fields, of which both the leafs and berries are a favourite for the London Alpacas herd. Her mom is the experienced alpaca Shaqiri.
Her sire is also the impressive Burnt Fen Humphrey.
