CARPE DIEM  LLAMAS 

We are located in Maple Ridge on 5 magical acres surrounded by mixed forest, abundant wildlife and solitude. When the snow has fallen and the air is still, our little haven is transformed into a winter wonderland or as some of our friends call it...Sleepy Hollow! There is no better place to be!

 

We have a small herd of llamas consisting of a few top quality breeding females and a group of distinguished and charming  males. Michael and I enjoy a range of outdoor activities and those experiences are enhanced when we are in the company of our llamas and pooches!

Llamas are very inquisitive, wonderful trail companions, great alarm systems and they love the trailside  "all they can eat buffet"! No outing is complete without someone stopping to meet the boys, ask questions, take a few photographs or introduce their horse.

Ahh...great for the tired feet!

 

At Carpe Diem we emphasize well-mannered companions in all our llamas including our breeding females and intact males. We devote time to training our llamas to field haltering,  walking without resistance on a lead, standing quietly and patiently, loading in a trailer, manoeuvring on a stakeout line and going for walks in the neighbourhood or on the trail. Having well-mannered and polite llamas is as important to us as their pedigree.  My biggest peeve is poorly behaved llamas and llama owners are solely responsible for ensuring their llamas are controllable and well behaved especially in the show ring or walking in public.

 

 

WE specialize in first-time llama owners

We have had llamas in our lives since 1996 and have learned a tremendous amount about the various aspects of these wonderful creatures.  Our commitment to our first time buyers include:

            We emphasis proper matching of llama to owner.

         We offer a  hands-on educational experiences on "how to care for your llamas" with every
         llama purchased. 
New owners then have the confidence to provide their  llamas with the best care
         & proper training, resulting in stress-free routine health maintenance & an enjoyable companion.

        We treat ALL our customers with integrity, honesty & full disclosure, the same way we prefer
        to be treated.
 

        All of our llamas sold as breeding stock are guaranteed to be reproductively sound & healthy.
        We Double Register, DNA blood type & Parent Verify all of our llamas that are sold as
        breeding stock.  

 
 

 

I love to take photographs and have been able to capture some of their antics. Other times, they are too aware of being observed and faster than the finger can press the shutter. Some of the pages will take time to load, so please be patient! Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and sit back and enjoy our web site.  Feel free to contact us for information, a sales list, to plan a visit or a hike or to just talk llamas!
