Byline: "I have PAZAZZ."

"Angus" means "chosen one" or "exceptional" and this youngster certainly is. BLT Eagle Bear's Angus has a personality that matches his shining presence and excellent conformation. He is a friendly, active youngster who wants to go. He loves hiking and negotiating obstacles on the trail. We are very pleased with him.

Angus' basic training included all the things a young llama needs to know to function comfortably in with humans. This includes being fully handleable, negotiating all manner of obstacles, calmly tolerating new and confusing situations, loading/unloading, and traveling without stress. Angus has excelled in all areas.

Angus now is in field training. Navigating snow or enduring the intense summer heat, training with Angus means scrambling through rocky streambeds, climbing up narrow slots in basalt cliffs, winding through sagebrush, and clammering across the boot-eating rock of ancient lava beds. Trails are foot tangling cowpaths or none at all. Wearing his training saddle and working in a string with his mentor-llama, Angus handles these situations well. He shows the enthusiasm and skill necessary to become a superb pack llama. Angus will have no trouble completing certification as a top PLTA Pack Llama.

(Please see the PLTA Pack Trial Handbook for a complete explanation of certification requirements.)
