How exactly do you make money? Off the sheering of their fur? I'm not even sure how I got here, but now I'm curious. What's the point? LOL are they mostly a hobby?
Do you know of any in your country? I'm not familiar with your weather but alpacas handle cold much better than the heat and humidity can make life more difficult for them. Reach out to those in your country and see what their experience has been.
Dogs are natural predators of alpacas so, in general, it’s not a good idea. This depends heavily on the breed. Although, we do use certain breeds to guard the herd, such as Great Pyrenees and Maremma.
+Johary Rodriguez Mine do. They have access to grass hay year round. Alpacas prefer to graze in the pasture even when it's dry and no longer growing (due to the season).

She was named when I got her. That’s an interesting question but I don’t know the story behind her name. Sorry.

Do you isolate newbies until you are sure you aren't bringing in some problems
Yes. Isolate, run fecal tests, treat as needed, and evaluate overall health needs.
How do they get along with dogs?
