Miniature Donkey Foals - the Ultimate "Warm Fuzzies"
Miniature donkeys are among the most adorable creatures, and miniature donkey foals are the cutest, most adorable of all. While there is not a "miniature donkey for sale" sign on every mini donkey foal, we thought you would enjoy seeing them all.

These miniature donkey foals are the result of thoughtful breeding of our quality, registered miniature donkey jacks and jennets. In order to produce miniature donkeys of the highest quality, each mating is carefully planned to strengthen the characteristics of the parents. If you have specific interest in a particular miniature donkey foal on the way or one on this page, please let us know. We invite you to visit our donkey brood jennet page where we list which jennet is bred to which jack and the approximate due date.

Our Foals of 2008

"The Elms Persistent Whisper"

(Click photo to enlarge)

Dark Brown Jennet
DOB 5/29/08
MDR #Pending

Sire: MGF Black Knight, 32.5" Black. no cross
Grand Sire: Circle C Black Russian, 30" Black, NLP
Grand Dam: MGF Venus Francine 567, 34" Dark Brown

Dam: MGF Whisper Me a Secret 429, 33.25"Dark Gray & White Spotted
Grand Sire: Arrow Creek Harry Houdini, 34" Black w/Cross
Grand Dam: MGF Venus Desert Song 963, 32" Gray & White Spotted

This is a little doll of a jennet. We didn't realize Whisper was quite so close to foaling, and came in the barn in the morning to find this jennet half dried off, and no mother around. Whisper had abandoned her in the stall and gone out to join her buddy outside. We put them together in a stall, and this foal went straight to her mother to try to nurse. Whisper wanted nothing to do with the foal, but this little jennet would not take no for an answer. She was persistent, and kept trying to nurse, and would follow her mother around the stall like the best behaved foal you ever saw. Whisper, with all her long flowing hair, is addicted to the grooming brush. She would stand like a rock while I brushed her and would let the foal nurse. Several hours later, Whisper finally accepted her foal without being groomed, and now is doing a fine job mothering her. Meanwhile, little Persistent Whisper, "Sista," is always close to her mother! Her mother is heavy boned, wide and stocky, and we can see that her foal has a wide chest, straight legs, perfect teeth, rich dark chocolate color. Too early to tell if she will also have the long hair, but we couldn't be happier with this jennet's build, and personality!

      Grand Dam: Windcrest Little Sierra, 32.5" Very Dark Brown/White Spot

Dam: Hill's Haven Koko, 32 1/2" Dark Brown
    Grand Sire: MGF Black Knight, 32.5" Black
    Grand Dam: Pine Grove Farm's Pittypat, 32.25" Brown

Here's an elegant little jennet, and she is already a regular flirt, so we named her Kokette. She has a rich dark brown color, deepening every day. Right now with her velvet coat on, she is very pretty. Structure cannot be faulted, a wide chest, and straight legs with good bone. She has a beautiful head. Sometimes it is hard to get pictures of donkeys with dark noses, but this little jennet just shines.

Sire: HHAA Mojave, 32" Black

    Grand Sire: Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates, 32.5" Black
    Grand Dam: Short Spots Sunny, 32" Brown & White Spotted

Kalahari is a likely herd sire prospect. This lovely little spotted jack started out red and white spotted, time will tell if he stays that color. He has a gorgeous head, with full mascara around each eye, and the white eye rings in his cheek patches. Super straight legs, and a wide chest. He is mostly color, with spots on both hips, and a long sock on his back left leg. New pictures coming soon!
