If you were wondering what is a Suri and what is a Huacaya?
There are two types of Alpacas, both anatomically identical; the difference is in the fleece genetics. Suri SS is the dominant gene, the Huacaya ss recessive gene. When bred for a dominate trait the Alpaca is considered either Suri or Huacaya.
