(If your intended use of the mark is only for products made from Suri fiber and will not be used to promote your animals or breeding program, you may skip this
section and move on to the Commitment and Use Requirements.)

Representative Suri Fiber comes from quality Suri Alpacas. This program is committed to the health and responsible reproduction of the Suri Network Breed Standard:

The ideal Suri alpaca is the epitome of true alpaca type with a distinctive elegant profile, perfect head, and outstanding conformation. Suri Network members strongly believe that it is important to preserve the purity of the Suri genotype by breeding Suri males to Suri females. The Suri fleece exhibits highly aligned, draping locks of high luster, fine, slick and cool handling fiber.
