COLOUR CLASSIFICATION
A current CLAA Colour Chart shall be used for colour differentiation. The following shall be the criteria for colour
classification of alpacas.
1. Solid Colour
An alpaca is to be shown in the appropriate colour class, when it is predominantly the colour stated for the name of the
class. The alpaca will be disadvantaged, at the judge’s discretion, if it has any other coloured fibers present.
White – only white
Light – beige and light fawn
Fawn – medium and dark fawn
Brown – light, medium, and dark brown
Black – black and bay black
Grey – silver grey, rose grey
Multi
2. Multi Colour.
An alpaca is to be shown in the multi color class if it has unusual or striking distribution of two or more colours
anywhere on the animal below the head and above the knees. The second color must be outside of the colour grouping
(eg. A dark fawn spot on a medium fawn will still be shown in fawn) and larger than 3 cm to be considered a multi.
3. Grey Colour Designation
A predominantly grey alpaca is to be shown in a grey class, whether or not it has any other coloured spots present.
Grey alpacas may or may not exhibit a tuxedo front colour pattern. An alpaca that has minimal, not easily recognizable
white fibres interspersed in it prime blanket fleece is not considered a grey and goes into the appropriate solid class.
Variations will be assessed at the judge’s discretion.
The colour classification shall be determined and agreed upon by the Chief Steward. All colour classification rulings
shall be final and binding at the discretion of the judge.

HALTER CLASS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Championships may be awarded in any designated colour category providing there are no less than 10 entries in that category
and the exhibits have moved through their age grouping competition successfully. If there are not enough entries to award a
championship, the first place winner will go on to compete for Supreme Championship Male or Female. Another option for
show management is to combine sexes to award color championships. Both sexes would compete for Grand and Reserve
Champion and only the winner would go on to the appropriate male or female supreme championship.
Supreme Championships may be awarded where there are a minimum of 30 entries of one sex of Huacaya type competing in
the show i.e. for a supreme Huacaya male champion there should be a minimum of 30 Huacaya males competing in the show
and likewise for a supreme female Huacaya Champion.
Supreme Championships may be awarded where there are a minimum of 20 entries of Suri type competing in the show.
