Welcome to Marshwood Vale Alpacas

We have been breeding Alpacas since 1998 in the beautiful countryside of the Marshwood Vale in West Dorset.  As part of our alpaca breeding programme we strive for density, fineness, soft handle and certainty of colour in our crias (baby alpacas). Our alpaca females have been bred to some of the best male studs in the country and our crias continue to improve every year. Learn more about alpacas
