Like most alpacas, Paul was able to adapt well and get along with others. Paul and his parents are proud of their bilingualism and bi-culturalism as Peruvian-Americans living in a diverse city like Dallas. Paul found his calling when he realized that he could be an urban planner, where he could explore his ideas and work with people from his and other neighborhoods to make the city better.

Paul works to teach youth and adults about Urban Planning. If your class or school is interested in learning more about Urban Planning, please contact pud dallascityhall.

The males entered in this class are in a holding pen where the Gatekeeper makes certain they are all present and lined up oldest to youngest. The Judge will look for uniformity of crimp, fineness, density and color throughout the fleece, and other characteristics found in the AOA Show Rule book. Most shows award 6 places, so a normal procedure is for the Judge to excuse the others not among the top six.

After making the final placements, written on the placing card by the Steward and signed by the Judge, the Judge gives oral reasons for the winners, hopefully with a microphone so all the attendees can hear.

This process is completed for the classes in each age group for this color. Then the 1st and 2nd place winners for each class are called back into the ring for a Male Color Championship.

From among the 1st Place winners, a Champion is selected and then the 2nd behind that winner is brought forward and from those now in the first rank a Reserve Champion is selected.

In Performance, huacayas, suris, males, females and geldings are eligible, since the focus here is on how the handler and alpaca work as a team.

Another Performance activity is the Obstacle course, consisting of items like a small bridge, a teeter-totter that rocks as the alpaca and handler cross over, an area marked on the ground where the handler makes the alpaca back up, and other unique challenges. Since safety is a concern, the Judge must give approval to the obstacles and suggest any changes to Show Management before the class begins.

Some of the same obstacles are also included in the Public Relations classes, which show how the alpaca and exhibitor meet with strangers, go through a gate or even meet a barking dog. Some shows offer Costume classes, with the alpaca and the handler both in costume and a narrative prepared by the handler and read by the show Announcer.

These focus on displaying the quality and consistency of breeding programs, such as the Get of Sire. The owner enters the sire who is not shown and selects 3 representatives from all the available progeny of that sire entered in the show. Summary Chart of Obstacle Classes 1 of 2.
