~ Miniature Llama Moments ~
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to our regular llamas, we have fell in love with the wonderful world of Miniature 'Mini' Llamas, which are basically proportionally scaled down regular llamas. My wife who is a little less than 5'2" can now look these llamas in the ear, verse having to look way up at the larger llamas. They are lovable, trainable, show-able, and so much more, only on a smaller frame that can accommodate so many more lifestyles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Briefly, the AMLA standard for miniature llamas is:
    1. Miniature Llama - Three years of age or older and no more than 38" at the withers
    2. Miniature Foundation Stock - Female llamas used for producing miniature llamas but exceed the 38 inch height
        by no more than two inches. This standard was set by the AMLA in recognition that height is a genetic trait &
        breeding down is a realistic approach to developing miniature llamas.
    3. Immature Status - Llama under 3 years of age may be registered only if its mother is a registered, mature, mini llama or
        the mother is registered foundation stock & the father is a registered mini llama. 
For more information about miniature llamas, such as specific standards, size comparisons, info/registry, shows, etc. go to the American Miniature Llama Association, AMLA, site.
