This article presents an update of the Status of White and Red Alpacas in the Australian Herd. The author’s conclusions, which follow, are generally:
In brief, the results to date indicate that coloured fleece types dominate over white fleece types; that Brown fleece colour is dominant to Black fleece colour and that Red fleece colour is separate from Brown/Black colour.
Grey fleece colours are assumed to be dilute forms of Brown/Black colour, with rosegrey being dilute Brown and silvergrey being dilute Black. Dilute Red fleece may appear to be nearly white.
