Double 8 Alpaca Ranch

Double 8 Alpaca Ranch, alpacas, Purcellville, VA, serves farms in Loudoun County and the Shenandoah Valley near Leesburg. Owned by Doug Kittrell, the ranch has been breeding healthy alpacas for over a decade with affiliations including the Alpaca Owners Association and regular health testing for cria and adult stock.

Animals are raised on pasture, rotated through nutrient-rich fields year-round, and socialized daily to foster calm temperaments. The ranch’s hands-on approach ensures each animal enjoys both shelter and open-air access, with structured interactions that prepare alpacas for diverse environments. On-site consultations cover breeding strategies and fiber care, helping new owners understand pasture management.

Several of Double 8’s huacayas have earned fiber quality awards at regional shows, reflecting careful selection for fleece density and character. Reviews highlight the ranch’s transparency about lineage and health records, giving prospective owners confidence in the bloodlines.
