5-0 out of 5 stars A "must have" read for anyone interested in learing about llamas.
I have been raising and selling llamas for over 10 years, and I always recommend this book to anyone that has questions about raising llamas or buys their first llamas from me.Before I bought my first llamas I bought this book.It tells you all the basic information about these wonderful animals in a way that anyone can understand.Even after all these years of raising llamas, I still use this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative.
I was looking for a book about alpacas.This is a great book to give you an idea of what these animals are all about.I love that they talk about what to do with their feces...lol.

4-0 out of 5 stars Llama farming is not a business I would reccomend but...
...this book gives a very good background on the animal, it's uses and how to do it. I bought it for basic info...our llamas are pets...they eat and give me fertilizer. Oh, and they amuse the goats and horse.

4-0 out of 5 stars great book
This book is the best guide for beginning llama owners.I have learned more from the book than from other owners and books.This is a great gift for llama lovers and highly recommended for those interested in the llama business.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great resource for prospectful owners
Lots of good information, well presented, easy to read. Somewhat outdated maybe, but the overall bottom line is the same and well presented. I will recommend this book to others, along with other books in the series by same author. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Communications made better!
Faced with the wonderful intelligence and near-human reasoning of llamas, a new, or even experienced owner can become quickly overwhelmed, anxious, or indecisive. As with other creatures who share our world, llamas can sense the indecision, and will rapidly take full advantage! In this wonderful, down to earth book, techniques are taught to better understand the llama's viewpoint on basic things such as toenail trimming, shots, haltering, shearing, as well as the steps in broadening your experiences with the llama by taking them places, and doing things that might otherwise not be in your realm, and then having FUN doing them!! I've used the techniques outlined here for several years, and can truthfully say they work, with the added benefit of a much easier working relationship with all animals I encounter. A gem to add to your library!

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for anyone handling livestock.
This book is full of applied techniques from Linda Tellington Jones, an expert animal trainer.Marty has taken Linda's methods and applied them to llamas.It is a kind and gentle method of training.Marty knows of what she speaks, she has been traveling the world working with llamas.An important book to have if you own animals.The techniques can be applied to any species. ...

I didn't know much about llamas - just that they were cute and I liked them.I appreciated the information in this book, it has helped when I have visited llama farms and worked with these marvelous animals.

4-0 out of 5 stars a good place to start llama packing
Although I would like to see a new, updated edition, this is still a great book on llama packing.It is concise and easy to read.It even comes with some good recipes.

4-0 out of 5 stars A well written guide to packing with llamas.
I've read every book on llama packing that I could get my hands on.This one gets my nod.It is more concise and well-written than other texts on the subject, and deals with the details of food, equipment, and pannier organization quite well.The pack-trip checklist at the end of the book is well conceived.This book is probably the most up-to-date of the books on the subject, but it does have one bit of outdated information: it states that llamas can begin to carry packs at the age of two, when in fact the new consensus is that they should not begin to carry significant weight until at least the age of three-and-a-half. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars llamas for income
This book goes more into the operation of an income producing llama farm than other books I've read on the subject. It covers not just daily care, but how to actually DO things with the animals to offset their care cost. Some of the data is a bit outdated, such as cost for good animals, but the underlying premises still hold true. If you've ever wondered "Why a llama?", here's where you can learn more. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A great book for animal lovers and those unfamiliar with animal husbandry
Interesting and funny look at of a couple, only slightly versed in animal husbandry, and their hilarious interactions with a wide variety of domestic and wild animals.

5-0 out of 5 stars Dogtown Chronicles is a beautifully written book
This bookThe Dogtown Chronicles, Our Life and Times with Sheep, Goats, Llamas, and Other Creatures about a couple's 20-year experience raising sheep, goats, llamas, and other creatures near the Pt. Reyes National Sea Shore is both funny and touching. There is a kid who rides on a llama's back, a buck who breeds with sheep as well as goats, a horse whose companion is a goose, among many others. As you might expect over 20 years, many of these animals die, and this book is as honest in treating the subject of their deaths as it is in portraying the author's growing love for them, for her inventive husband, and for the natural world.


5-0 out of 5 stars If you love animals, you'll love this bok
This issweet, touching and funny with moments of heartbreaking sadness. If you've ever loved an animal, or grown to love one who didn't love you back, you will relate. These two zany, brainy New Yorkers went way beyond the dogs and cats they once knew to take on creatures with hooves, horns and less-than-loving temperaments. Their experiences with their flock and with each other, made for great reading. I loved the photos and quirky drawings. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars What the Spanish Horse is supposed to be!
This is a fantastic book full of good explanations and example photos all about the Spanish Horse, Pura Raza Espanola, or the "Andalusian" as we know them in the USA.Great for pointing out the distinct characteristics of this regal breed, what makes a great Andalusian.Also points out where some modern breeders have gone wrong in encouraging characteristics that are NOT representative of the breed.I got this book as reference for sculpture to make sure I do my best to capture this breed correctly, and it has been very valuable!
