Donkey Transportation
We have the convenience of several international export transportation companies, just a few hours away from our donkey ranch.  Please contact them for quotes on international export.  We can also recommend several reputable transport companies that ship within the continental USA.


Lay-Away Plan

We also do lay-away plans to help you with your miniature donkey purchase.  We ask for a deposit of 1/3 the cost of the donkey as a down-payment and up to 6 months to pay them off.  We do not have a standard lay-away plan for mature jacks, but we will work with the buyer to come up with a mutually acceptable plan/agreement.  We understand that things can happen, so we allow a 7 day grace period where a deposit will be returned if something unforeseeable occurs.

All our donkeys receive regular vaccinations, hoof care, worming, and another important thing - lots of love & attention.  All are health-guaranteed, receive a negative coggins, a new halter and lead, along with 'operating instructions' when they go to their new home.  We believe in finding the best possible homes for our little treasures.  We do not sell miniatures as guard donkeys, nor do we sell "only child" donkeys!  Minis are not big enough to be guards, and in order to be happy, a donkey should have at least one buddy - preferably another donkey.  If you are looking for a guard, look for a standard size donkey.  We have a 47" standard jenny to "guard" our treasured minis.  We also will not sell to a "weekend only" home.  We feel any animal should have supervision and daily love and care.

These are some of our silly, spoiled girls.  The dark brown standard jenny on the right (D-4),  does a good job of guarding our donkey "littles".

We have carefully chosen our jacks and jennets for conformation, excellent teeth and wonderful personality.  This is very important, as they pass these genetics on to their offspring.  Our goal is to produce a superior quality, extra small, extra loveable donkey.  Our donkeys are extremely sociable and loving - they get daily hugs and nose kisses and are highly insulted if you are in a hurry and overlook them.  They are actually spoiled almost to the point of being little pests, but that's the way I like them!  They think the world revolves around them and are very self-confident - that's the way it should be, in my opinion.  Our herd is small sized - most under 31", stocky and compact, with cute heads, nice legs and wide chests.  We microchip our donkeys to safeguard their pedigree and identity and our herd sires are also dna typed.

I have worked for many years to collect and produce very small, stocky and correct miniature donkeys with delightful color and personality.  We occasionally have a mature jennet for sale, but most times, we have foals for sale - foals that have been painstakingly produced with much thought and care.  I do not believe in having a large herd, as I don't believe in flooding the market and I prefer to give my love and attention to a small number of donkeys.  I believe in the time and effort required to produce the type of donkey that I prefer, with stocky, correct conformation - one that gets lots of attention and spoiling.  A donkey that is raised with love and care is a delight to own.  They think nothing of trying to plop down in your lap for nose kisses, snuggling, and a nice nap.  This is a bit of a problem as they grow from foals and are more than a lapful - LOL.

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 stocky gray donkey.  Regardless of color, I concentrate on conformation and size, not simply color - conformation comes first. 

We will continue to concentrate on breeding for what we like the best, 27"-30" small, compact and correct miniature donkeys with cute heads, great legs, and sassy, spoiled personalities.  My goal has always been to produce a very small, very correct miniature donkey, and I will continue to strive towards this goal.

Please let me know if you are interested in a particular jennet's foal and I will be happy to contact you.  I have a waiting list for particular sizes/colors/types, and would be honored to add you to my list.  Since I only breed for a few foals each year, I am not always able to provide exactly what you are looking for "immediately".

Low-Down's Nouvelle Année - $2000  
Dark Brown Jack Foal
DOB:  1/01/12
Birth Height:  19"
Little Andy is exquisite, with a teensy, pretty head, bright eye rings/muzzle, and a very straight and wide, but tiny body.  Sire is dark red 30.25" Sparkplug and dam is 29.5" rose dun, MerryBelle.  This little guy should remain very small, looking at his tiny structure, and with such petite parents.  I would expect a mature height at quite a bit less than 30".  Born a couple of hours past the midnight new year hour, he was indeed a pleasant New Year's surprise, thus the name.  He has tiny herd sire marked all over him with such compact, very correct conformation.  Andy is so lovely, perfect and tiny, I would absolutely love to retain him, but I am trying to make life easier with only keeping two herd sires.  From everything I see in this tiny guy, he is going to be AWESOME as a teensy herd sire.
