         Welcomes you!

 
 

What’s new around the Ranch:

Yeah, we have that!!! We have a great supplier in Florida and have access to give you many of the alpaca products you crave.  Give us 3-4 weeks for shipping and handling.  Email Susan at the above address and she will be happy to forward you specific pictures and pricing. Here are a few things you might consider:

Alpaca Blanket with hand crocheted borders $62 plus shipping and handling.





    Baby Alpaca Hooded Cape $129 plus shipping and handling.





Paladin is Always a Winner!!!  The consistently high awards of his offspring scream quality and excellence from La Dolce Vita’s breeding program.  Go to Paladin’s page and see the many others he has produced.  Give us a call and make arrangements for your girls so that you too can get some action in the show ring and improve your herd.  Here are 2 interesting pictures of Paladin: the first was taken at about 3 years old and the second was taken last spring, 10 years old.  He still looks marvelous and is holding on to all his great qualities.

We have the most Amazing Rugs!  Oh my gosh!!! you are not going to believe them until you see them!!! We had to create a special page just for the rugs.  You can watch a video of the local artist that created them for us.  We are so proud to be able to offer such an outstanding product.  Click on the Rug page to see them.


If you liked the video at the top of the page, there is more on the Photoshop Phun page.  Check them out.  There is some funny stuff there.

Our Ranch

La Dolce Vita Alpacas is located on the out skirts of Ramona California; about an hour east of San Diego.  Here in the foothills of San Diego County, our ranch is at about 2,000 feet elevation so it is cooler than the surrounding areas.  Ramona is a wonderful farming community.  This gives our operation access to great services and ranch resources as needs arise.

When you arrive at La Dolce Vita Alpacas, you will find a clean, well organized farm.  Our alpacas are well cared for and attended to on a daily basis.  We have a lovely steel barn which centralizes the care and handling of our alpacas with a generously stocked medicine room.  All the equipment necessary to provide top notch attention to our herd is readily available at our facility. 

Our ranch is a fully enclosed 10 acres.  Our corrals, land and barn are easily  accessible so a visitor can safely tour the entire property to see the whole operation. The 6 foot perimeter fence is electrified for extra safety.  Our wonderful Great Pyrenees also participate in the care and safety of our alpacas and will give you a warm welcome when you arrive.

We have terrifically healthy alpacas and a great breeding track record because of attention to detail and familiarity with our herd.  Basic grooming, nail and teeth care are well attended.  Our alpacas are also better at ease with people because of our consistent routines and positive reinforcement.

You can relax at La Dolce Vita Alpacas.  We like to mix business with pleasure because, after all, it is a pleasurable business.  We welcome and encourage you to explore our farm and this website.  But most of all, we really look forward to meeting you and teaching you about alpacas.











 

La Dolce Vita Alpacas is a full service ranch offering comprehensive sales and services to our clients.

The care and nurturing of alpacas is our passion. We are here to assist and support you in developing your dream farm.

Website updated on 2/26/2019

While we appreciate your enthusiasm, scheduled open houses  are the ONLY times we are open.  If you show up unannounced outside of these, you will likely be turned away.  We do not bring alpacas to outside events.

If you are seriously interested in purchasing alpacas or large quantities of yarn, please email Susan at susan@ldvalpacas.com, or call at 619-672-7683 to schedule an appointment.

Currently, there are no open houses scheduled for the foreseeable future due to some health issues.  The alpacas are fine, the humans have some issues.  Please keep an eye on this site for changes.


Kindly remember you are visiting our home and not an industrial farm.  Alpacas are timid animals.  Please keep track of your children and do not allow them to chase or startle alpacas.  They are more likely to interact with you if you are quiet and move slowly.

Events are subject to cancellation due to foul weather (heavy rain, extreme winds, fires, etc.).  So please keep an eye on the website and/or our Facebook page.  Dress appropriately as this is a working farm with uneven terrain, sticks and rocks.
