Additionally, if you plan on taking part in shows or competitions with your alpaca it is important to understand the standard requirements per breed so that you may select an animal accordingly. The next factor when choosing an alpaca is health status; this includes checking the alpaca’s teeth condition as well as overall body condition including skin tone and eyesight among other things at time of purchase from the seller/breeder who should provide all necessary documents pertaining to vaccinations etc.. It is important not only for current health but also future breeding purposes if applicable that these items be thoroughly inspected at time of purchase along with general behavior traits such as how friendly/docile they appear around people/other animals during handling etc..
