Just
in case you're wondering where the name "Dixie Doodle" came
from
Kathy is from South Carolina.....the Dixie
Ken is from upstate New York....the Doodle as in Yankee Doodle |

In 1992, we decided that urban life and the business world were taking
their toll so we bought 60 acres in North Georgia,
disposed of our
business and suburban homes and began the chore of clearing our land.
Two
years later, we had a 60 acre farm that
needed animals.
|
|
|
|
We looked at
all types of livestock and ruled just about all of them out until,
somehow, we came upon what came to be an all encompassing,
fantastic lifestyle..........Llamas.
We built a barn and added fencing,
talked to many people and
did a whole lot of research before we ever
bought our first
furry, humming friends. |
|
|
|
|
|
We
now have between 90 and 100 llamas in our.
herd at
any given time ....... males, females and babies in every
possible
color scheme and all types of fiber......that
basically take up most of our time. |

We discovered the Show Ring
in 1996, which was never our intention.
We were arm-wrestled into showing one of our
llamas at.
the Georgia National Fair even though we had
never seen a
llama show let alone shown a llama. We ended
up with a Grand Champion
and we still have him- Max.
The hook was set.
We decided
right then and there that our focus as llama
breeders was going to
change.
And did it ever !!! |
|
|
|
|
|
We breed for
good disposition and show
quality llamas exclusively.
Our home bred llama's continued success
in the show ring is indicative that we must be
doing something right. |
