Even though photo is slanted, you can still see the nice proportions of body to neck length on this shorn alpaca. Notice normal hock in the back legs and front legs straight from this side view.

Even though this dam's neck is forward, you can see has a longer body length to neck ratio. Her cria at side, bred to the proper male, produced a cria more square in body proportions and closer to ideal. This trait was corrected in one mating by a male who has a track record for producing squared bodies.

Typical and accepted cria growth pattern of rear higher than shoulders but still has a square-like frame.

Great straight front legs and good shoulder capacity.

Nice strong square type on cria with great ear shape and nice heavy bone already.

Front bowed legs of cria (about 1 month of age). With age, they corrected themselves almost near perfect.

Notice nice straight legs on front of this tip shorn cria.
