JENNETS

We have a collection of small, stocky, nicely built, beautiful jennets at our farm. They range in size from 27" to 31.5". All but just a handful are less than 30", and are of a medium to drafty build, with colors ranging from silver to black, along with spotted and red. Our personal preference is small and stocky, so our herd has been built on this preference.

I predominately breed for dark spotted and red, along with very dark colors, but I also have a couple of small gray jennets to preserve the integrity and pedigree of the miniature Mediterranean gray donkey. In my opinion, there is nothing prettier than a small, stocky gray donkey.

I have carefully selected and produced our donkeys for conformation - overall balance, good legs, nice wide chests, round butts, pretty heads and good teeth. I adore pretty heads and compact, stocky body types! I admire all beautiful donkeys - my preference just happens to be compact and small.

Our goal is to produce a donkey with small size, very nice conformation, along with beautiful color and an excellent, loving personality. We want our donkeys to be a pleasure to own, provide companionship and entertainment, along with being flashy little spots of color for your pasture.

Low-Down's Sparkleberry
Dark Red Jennet
Pedigree Pending
(open pedigree, click anywhere on form and pedigree will enlarge)
Wow - everything I've worked towards in my breeding program - tiny size (17.5"), superb conformation and dark red color. Dam is Jilly Anne, sire is Sparkplug. This is Sparkplug's first foal and my expectations have been more than fulfilled. This little girl is such a knock-off of her feisty mom, I've taken to calling her "Jilly Jr.", thus the nickname, JJ.

This exquisite, tiny jennet is the daughter of Chloe (black) and Oscar Wilde (dark spotted). I am very pleased with Nicoletta - she is dainty and petite with a spunky personality. She is just over 27" and has definitely taken the tiny size from her grandsire, GP Oscar. Nicoletta has shed out to black/white spotted and I'm amazed that she is almost 3 years old. She will be matched with tiny Brodie this spring.
