Stud Services
At Dark Sky we specialise in Suri and have both light and coloured stud options. We also have a fantastic, classic silver grey Huacaya stud.
We have some of the most exciting Suri genetics in the country having imported 3 amazing males from New Zealand in October 2019 and we continue to invest in elite lines. Backyard Parrissi was a joint investment with Polgrain Alpacas in 2023 (sire Pucara Kahuna's Tully, dam Houghton Mystery) and will be starting to work in the 2024 / 2025 season

Terms and Conditions for Stud Services
We offer drive by (DB) or mobile matings (MM) with mileage charges applicable on the latter at a rate of 50p per mile.
For mobile matings we ask you to provide a neutral, disinfected area. We can bring mobile pens if required. It is ideal if you have a suitable male at your home farm that can be used for spit-offs, particularly to confirm ovulation after 7 days.
If you choose to come to us in beautiful North Cornwall for a drive by mating we are happy to accommodate your alpacas overnight in a standalone pen in a disinfected and separate area of our bio-secure farm.
All services come with a live 48 hour cria guarantee. Should the cria not survive beyond this period then the same female may return for a free drive by service (provided there is vetinary confirmation that the loss was not from negligence). The guarantee applies to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
Females should have no more than 12 months fleece growth and be free from any skin conditions such as active mites.
An invoice, payable within 14 days, for 50% of the fees will be raised at the time of booking with the further 50% due at the time of the mating.
