We have owned llamas since 1995 but boarded our first llamas with the Watson's in Escondido. We still have the 2 original males, Carnival Star & Bailey. They enjoy the life of eating, sleeping & just hanging out. We purchased them from the Watson's  & they taught us a lot of what we know about llamas today. Both my husband, Russ & I are RN's & continue to have our "day jobs".  Finally were able to keep our llamas in our back yard after boarding for 5 years, when we moved to Wildomar in 2000. This is located next to Lake Elsinore & Murrieta. You will pass our city on the way to San Diego. I try to go to as many llama shows as I can, depending on getting the time off from work. It is fun to get together with the other llama folks. I have a good time showing our llamas & always learn something new when I go to the shows. It is great to see all the llamas people bring to the shows. In the beginnng we tended to concentrate more on the performance aspect of showing but now try to get an all around llama. We try to breed a llama do well in halter & performance. We always look for a llama that has good conformation & disposition. They can be any wool type, we have light, medium & heavy wool animals. Russ does all the shearing, worming, toe nail trimming for our animals. He is also very busy in the spring & summer doing all these things for other people. I tend to do most of the training of our llamas. We have several performance & halter champion llamas with young ones up & coming. I also keep busy working with the wool. I have several spinning wheels & looms. I like to make leads from the wool. Once you have your first llamas you just want more! They are fun & very smart. Hope to see you at the shows.
