Saucony likes just about everyone, but she is definitely Jim’s llama. If you knew Sahalie … if you believe in “recycling” … you won’t have to ask! You will also know why Saucony is never, ever for sale.
Saucony is a full sister to Credo and we think she’s his equal except that her gaits are a bit better. Although we definitely appreciate the classic llamas with longer guard hair (duh — just look at our herd!), the standard classic coat is, to us, just as beautiful. We agree with the Classic llama market (such as it is) that the standard coat is really the most practical because it is so extremely fast to groom (even though a good long-coated Classic llama takes less time and effort to comb than it does to shear a woolly). It is not common to find such a coat anymore, especially not on a superior working body such as Saucony’s.
Because the standard-length Classic-coated llama is in greater demand, we project that Saucony will be one of our primary breeding females. Most or all of her offspring will be for sale to appreciative homes (even though we’d like to be greedy and keep them all) — email if you want to be put on the waiting list. We get constant requests for llamas like Saucony, and so her babies are likely to be spoken for before weaning.
Saucony likes food , exploring, attention (within limits) ... and running, running, running!
“Saucony” is derived from a Native American word meaning “swiftly running waters”. It is also the name of a company that primarily manufactures running shoes. Our Saucony is a runner for sure — in fact, it was rare to see her walk until she finally got old enough that the adult llamas let her know she needed to control her rambunctious self!
