The Canadian Llama and Alpaca Association
The Canadian Registry for Llamas and Alpacas
The Canadian Llama and Alpaca Association was formed in 1987 and incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act of Canada in 1989.
Only one breed association per breed is incorporated under this act and given authority to represent that specific breed. They have sole authority to represent a breed(s) and manage a public registry for the breed, to issue registration certificates, to establish breed standards and rules of eligibility for registration and define what is a purebred.
The breed association or Registry in Canada responsible for these activities with regard to alpacas and llamas is the Canadian Llama and Alpaca Association. Learn More


Membership Renewals & New Memberships – Coming Soon!
The Canadian Llama & Alpaca Association is preparing to launch e-Alpaca, our new online registry and membership management system, in December 2026.
Once the new system is launched, all CLAA membership renewals and new membership applications will be completed directly through e-Alpaca, rather than through the CLAA website.
Please stay tuned! A direct link to e-Alpaca and instructions on how to renew or become a member will be posted here as soon as the system is ready.
Thank you for your patience as we prepare this exciting transition.
