Naming Your Alpaca
Hi Again,
You can name the animal anything you want as long as the name is not used / reserved with the ARI.
For example: if you wanted to register an animal as Harry Potter you could as long as no one else has used that name. (Number one name last year!)
If NWA wanted a harry potter, we could register as NWA Harry Potter and someone else can register say: TPA Harry Potter etc.
If Harry Potter was never registered with the ARI, then you could have us register him as just Harry Potter and when you paid off the contract (100% ownership), you can re-register with your herd identifier ***As long as they have never had a cria***. The cost today is $100 for the name change, paid to the ARI.
For example our Studmaster male IMPACT was originally registered as ERSTWHILE (so you can see why we changed the name, not very studly). If he had cria on the ground we would not be able to do this.
I hope this helps explain how our registry works. If you have any other questions let me know.
