Alpaca
New Zealand

For the people behind New Zealand’s alpacas — and anyone thinking about joining them.

One association.Three regions.A community across Aotearoa.

AANZ connects 44 owners and breeders from Northland to Southland — each one a place to see alpacas, ask questions, and buy animals from people who know them.
