Prices Prices Pricing of llamas can be difficult to understand if you are unfamiliar with the llama world. Sometimes price can also be affected by color, personality and the breeder's desire to sell or not sell a particular llama. These llamas are usually males and have been designated as unfit to breed for any number of reasons. This causes many of the factors affecting the price of breeding llamas to be invalid. The main factors which affect the price of pet or guard llamas are level of training, handleability, personality, guarding ability and availability.
Training is especially important for pet llamas.
New owners need llamas that they can halter, groom, vaccinate, deworm, pick up feet, trim toenails and travel with easily. These prices are just generalizations and are not a substitute for meeting the llama and the breeder to decide whether that llama is right for you. Price alone is not an indicator of training level and general attitude of a llama. In the past, llamas were sold as breeding pairs and some breeders still sell their animals this way. Most breeding llamas are now sold individually.
