The VAR will be the guiding force in the breeding and protection of the Pacuña® in the United States. VAR will keep detailed DNA, photo and fiber identification of each Pacuña registered in this country to help protect this developing industry. In addition, the VAR will pool, process and market the fiber produced from all of the animals in the registry. By controlling all aspects of the fiber production to the end product will enable the industry to ‘brand” the finest fiber produced in the United States, thus maintaining economic stability in the animals themselves.
Following is a basic outline of the rules and regulations required to register any animal in the Vicuña Alpaca Registry (VAR).
1. Any animal registered must be at least one-quarter Vicuña.
2. All Vicuña percentages will be determined through DNA blood testing.
3. VAR will maintain on location identification of each animal in the registry and such identification will include four digital photos (front, back and each side shot), DNA blood typing and a fiber sample.
4. Imports will be allowed into the registry for a limited time.
5. All harvested fiber from all registered Pacuñas® will be pooled and processed and crafted into articles of clothing by the VARRA. Such articles of clothing may be offered for sale or simply displayed. Proceeds of the sale of such articles will be used for further promotion of the Pacuña® in the United States and fund research on the Pacuña®. Excess funds will be evenly distributed to all registrants on an equal basis in the form of dividends.
As you can see this new registry will be exciting and fun. The fiber from the Pacuña® is the finest raised in the United States and the beautiful products that can be crafted from it will be awe inspiring and will definitely become collectors items due to rarity and uniqueness.
