Dianne has been breeding alpacas since 1993. In 1996 she travelled to Peru to see where Alpacas came from and to learn as much as she could about alpacas. 2004 saw her travel to Peru again but this time study at the International Alpaca Judging School under Maggie Kreiger and Julio Sumar. She successfully completed this course which has added to her extensive knowledge of Alpacas, suris in particular.

Until 2009 Dianne had a herd of over 100 suris but due to personal circumstances had to downsize and her animals are now at Baarrooka.

The results of her breeding program speak for themselves. 2003 National Champion Suri (Tahara Illumini) 2003, Intermediate Female Champion Suri(Tahara Perlitta) 2003, Junior Champion Female 2005 and 2006 Adult Female Champion (Tahara Zahira).

Zahira's son Zabar ET was VCR Alpaca of the year in 2009.

Tahara's philosophy is to use the best genetics possible.

Alkumi was VCR Suri Alpaca of the year in both 2010 and 2011.

I am currently have some lovely stock for sale as the time has come to retire. I can no longer manage to keep animals. I have some lnice young females as well as a couple with cria at foot. As it is mid winter the girls have not been mated. They need to be sold asap.

Tahara has been quiet on the showing front for a while but returned a couple of time in 2019. Tahara Omari (Roan) and Tahara Adair (medium fawn) were awarded champion fleece in their respective classes at Bendigo Colourbration 2019.. Omari Was also awarded Champion Roan at the Fleece show at the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2019.

Melbourne Royal was also a successful show under the Peruvian Judge Rito Hauyto. Tahara Phineas was Champion Adult Male and Tahara Zeke ws thrid in a strong Senior class. The following weekend at Seymour Phineas was again a Champion and Zeke won his class..

2012/13 Saw Tahara Phaedra and Tahara Nitere have an extremely successful show season.

2012 Ballarat Ag Show Phaedra Intermediate White Champion with Nitere being Intermediate Medium Fawn Champion and going on to be Supreme Champion.

2012 Hamilton Alkumi was 1st in 18-30month While fleece.
2012 Colourama Tahara Phaedra Intermediate Champion White Suri female. Tahara Nitere was awarded first in his Intermedite Medium Fawn Class and Reserve Champion. Alkumi was first in the White 18-30month fleece.

2012 - At the recent VCR Awards Night Tahara Alkumi was awarded VCR Suri Alpacaq for 2011. Congratulations Alkumi for being awarded VCR Suri Alpaca of the Year two years in a row.


2011 - A good start to the year. Tahara Alkumi was awarded Supreme Champion Suri at the Wodongs Show with his stable mate Tahara Zamir being awarded First in the Intermediate Fawn Suri male and also awarded Reserve Champion to Alkumi's Champion in the overall Intermediate Suri Male Class.

Tahara had had much success in the last few months. Tahara Alkumi was awarded Supreme Champion Suri at the Wangaratta Ag Show and Tahara Zabar won Supreme Champion Suri Fleece.

At Bendigo Ag Show Tahara Iridescence was awarded Supreme Champion Suri and Alkumi was Champion Jujnior male. Tahara Olin was 2nd in his colour class.

At Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2010 Tahara Alkumi was awarded Reserve Junior Champion Suri.

At the Ballaratt Ag Show Tahara Alkumi was awarded Champion Junior Suri and Tahara Iridescence was awarded first in the Junior Fawn Suri Female Class. Tahara Zabar ET was awarded 3rd in his class to Kurrawa in the 18 months to 30 months fleece class and Tahara Amorina was placed first in the fawn class with her 2nd fleece and Resurgam Marc Anthony (owned by Tahara) was placed first in his under 18 months class. So al in all a very succerssful show.

Tahara had a huge reduction sale on 2 may 2010 due to fact Dianne no longer has acres on which to operate. She is currently leasing 9 acres and is continueing with her remaining alpacas as long as the lease is available.

Thankfully due to the support of Julie and Russell of Baarrooka Alpaca Stud the sale went well and all alpacas now have new homes with both new and existing breeders.

Zabar has been awarded Suri Alpaca of the Year 2009 for the Central Region. The other good new is that he is now working.l

Tahara enjoyed success at the Kyneton Fleece Show 2009 with Tahara Zip Code being awarded first in hus Black class, Tahara Amorina 1st in her Fawn class and Tahara Incandescence 2nd in her white class.

Some good new is that in the middle of moving Tahara Attended the Ballarat Sheep and Wool Sale and was fortunate enough to Win Supreme Champion Suri with Tahara Zabar ET.
