What is an alpaca pedigree registry?

A pedigree registry is a database that records an animal's parentage, ownership and identifying details over successive generations, so breeders can verify bloodlines and breeding history. eAlpaca's registry holds pedigrees dating back over 40 years and 10+ generations, tracing back to founding animals imported from Peru, Chile and Bolivia.

Can I search the registry without an account?

Yes. Unregistered visitors can use animal search and member search to view limited public information about registered animals and members. Full pedigree, progeny and ownership history requires a free view-only account or full association membership.
