Alpaca Organizations

Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA)
This is the national alpaca breeders' association. They provide education, maintain a library, send orientation materials to interested potentials and have a marketing program. Alpaca shows are sanctioned through them. AOBA sponsors national conferences in winter and summer. Marit has been a member of the education committee.

Anatolian Shepherd Resources
|
Anatolian Shepherd Dogs International (ASDI)
There are several breed associations and it can become quite confusing. We chose ASDI for their friendly support and willingness of the membership to help newcomers. ASDI also has a "Code of Ethics Breeders" designation to which some breeders subscribe. COE breeders pledge to hold themselves to a high level of accountability.

They have been a pleasure to work with and very patient with Marit's Techo Peasant gnashing and wailing. Feel free to contact us for a reference.
