Alpaca Registry, Inc.

Since its inception, Alpaca Registry Inc.(ARI), has maintained and administered a database housing the scientifically-qualified genealogy, blood typing/DNA and ownership records of alpacas primarily in North America.

ARI serves as a valuable storehouse of information for North American alpaca breeders. Its primary job is to gather and maintain accurate genealogical records, focusing on the expansion and accuracy of those records. Up-to-date owner and member lists are maintained and new accounts created for new owners and breeders. Applications for registration of alpacas are processed and scientific testing is coordinated with an independent DNA-testing laboratory before alpacas are added to the ARI database of registered alpacas. This ensures that no alpacas are registered by ARI unless they can be scientifically verified to two ARI registered parents.
