About the ILR
The ILR is the largest accurate compilation of lama genealogical information in the world. Formed in 1985, the Registry is a not-for-profit corporation with the purpose of maintaining an official genealogical registry system and research services for owners of sub species of the genus lama: llama, alpaca, guanaco, vicuna, and cross-breeds. It can be compared to a large library, a valuable storehouse of information, whose job is to gather and maintain accurate genealogical records. The focus is always on the expansion and accuracy of the records.
The ILR is also home to the ILR Show Division (ILR-SD), a show sanctioning body that offers points and awards that connect seamlessly with each animal’s genealogical records. The show division offers camelid owners the opportunity to showcase the many talents of llamas and alpacas, promoting their many virtues and providing educational opportunities for prospective llama owners.
