AH Vengador Peruvian did it again on the show from 11 december in Assen. He is for the second time this year by two different judges (20 March in Hapert by Tim Hey and 11 december in Assen by Rob Bettinson) rated as:
- Group winner white Huacaya Alpaca 24 - 48 months.
- Champion white huacaya overall.
- Reserve Champion of all colored Huacaya Alpacas.
In addition, he had the best fleece and is therefore named "Grand Champion Fleece".
In addition to Vengador other AH animals won also awards.

Our Suri stud male AH Peruvian Champagne also won some prices:
- Champion creme-colored Stud males.
- 3rd place on all colored Suri Alpacas.

Alpaca Holland is the first Alpaca breeder in the Benelux since 1995 to breed thoroughbred Peruvian Alpacas, mainly Huacayas, and since then we have gone on to successfully breed Peruvian Suri Alpacas.
We are therefore proud to be one of the leading breeders in Europe and are able to share our knowledge and experience of many years with existing and future Alpaca breeders, mainly in The Netherlands but also in other countries.
The show results we have achieved and those of our relations are proof of this. Alpaca Holland (AH) Alpacas are very popular on the Alpaca market. Our Alpacas are healthy and have a high quality, very dens and fine wool structure with a lot of uniform shrinkage and a beautiful sheen all over the animal. At present, we have well over 70 animals in our flock.
All our fully-grown Alpacas possess a passport and have been approved and registered (incl. DNA) in the breeding herd book by the AZVD (Alpaka Zucht Verband Deutschland).
We are strongly in favour of having our Alpacas inspected, especially so that we can combine the good qualities in our animals from different bloodlines, but also in order to prevent, as much as possible, that genetic flaws are passed on to the offspring. That is why we have strict selection rules and only breed with approved animals that have been awarded the A-status and have achieved at least 90 ZEP points or more.
Our animals descend from world famous breeders in Peru, such as Accoyo (Don Julio Barreda †) and Rural Alianza.
During inspection of the animals a lot of attention is paid to: the quality of the wool, flaws in leg and gait (especially knock-knees and cow hocks), nipples, back and tail, correct size and proportions and, also important, the teeth.
When an Alpaca has good teeth it is unnecessary to perform work on them, such as the dreadful filing of the teeth. From our experience of many years we have experienced that Alpacas with good teeth are capable of keeping their teeth in the right position and length, making filing absolutely unnecessary.

A visit to our farm will certainly be more than worth your while.
