Sneaky alpaca surprise...

Up at the crack of sparrowfart this morning at TOFT to place two alpacas on Giorgio  and Charli's lawn in Coventry whilst Charli was still in bed. 

All part of Giorgio's secret surprise to have his girlfriend Charli wake up this morning with two of her most favourite animals in the world on the lawn and then to accept his proposal of marriage. 

We snuck the hurdles and the alpacas through the back gate early doors without disturbing Charli and returned later to find the happy couple engaged and overjoyed and Charli sporting a large diamond ring and thoroughly surprised. Nice one Giorgio! Job well done and thankfully a happy ending. 

Our alpacas are now back in our paddocks and TOFT alpacas has a new unforgettable alpaca experience to add to the archive.

Congratulations to Giorgio and Charli and best wishes for your future life together from all at TOFT alpacas.

Alpaca surprises...

We have not bred a multi coloured alpaca in five years and last Saturday we had two in ten minutes, on my watch, from two different fathers. Two lovely fleeces on two wonderful pet boys who will sell like hot cakes and add a lot of character to someone's paddock once they are weaned. 

It is one of the great ironies of alpaca breeding that we spend seventeen seasons breeding one coloured alpacas and as soon as a multi adds contrast into our paddocks people fight to buy them. 'Twas ever thus!
