ABOUT S.H.I.P.
GENETIC SELECTION WEBINAR
What is S.H.I.P.?

The Suri Herd Improvement Program gives us concrete, objective data about our individual herds and the opportunity to advance our national herd using that data for our breeding and purchasing decisions.

The SURI NETWORK has been devoted to the “Preservation of the Suri Phenotype – Fiber and Alpaca” since its inception with the development and implementation of various programs as a service to its membership and for Suri owners worldwide. These programs are encompassed in the Suri Herd Improvement Program, titled as S.H.I.P.

OUR VISION

To Preserve, Protect and Promote the Suri alpaca is the
purpose of the Suri Network.


To become the world’s leader in Suri alpaca genetics and the world’s leading producer of the ultimate natural fiber is the Suri Network’s goal for the U.S. Suri industry.
