Arizona Backcountry Llamas

Arizona Backcountry Llamas is a llama breeder in Prescott, AZ, serving Yavapai County and the Prescott area near Phoenix. Chris Dunn founded the ranch in 2010, has over a decade of experience, participates in camelid associations and conducts routine health assessments including vaccinations and parasite screenings.

Their llamas are raised on open desert-adapted pasture with daily hands-on socialization to promote calm behavior and adaptability in varied environments. Breeding stock is selected for gentle temperaments, strong fiber quality and suitability to the high-desert environment. Regular hoof trimming, dental checks and annual wellness exams ensure each animal’s comfort, soundness and longevity.

Shearing takes place each spring, with fleece processed on-site or available for local artisans. Visitors can observe daily chores, gaining insight into llama behavior and care routines. Prospective owners often note the ranch’s attentive care and the llamas’ steady dispositions.
