Do folks keep them just as pets or is there a commercial use for them? Do they play with your Yorkies?
I know a bunch of questions. Some may be pretty ignorant. I confess, I don't know anything about a llama. I'm interested to hear though!

Mr. I is the best. That's an old picture I really need to update my photos and add stuff.
Yes, they spit when they are mad, or trying to eat and other llamas try to get their food. Spitting is there way of saying back of buddy. There are several levels of spit too. Some just from the mouth like human spit. Then they pull some up from their stomach and then they pull some up from the rumen. EWWWWWW and it stinks
All mine are sweet as pie and they are more like cats they will come to you if they want attention.
Most folks just keep them for pets but you can use the fiber to make clothing and the such.
No they would kill a yorkie. My dobie will run up to them and play thru the fence but they are not impressed
