Diva was the first foal I produced from DD Aces High. She is a wonderful jennet with her fathers pretty head. She is the dam of Who's Your Daddy, and her 06 jennet foal, Miss Divina. I kept Diva for my breeding program, as she has a extensive black pedigree that I could build upon. Her dam, Miss Addie, is also the dam of Girlfriend and Mirage. Diva got the best from both parents.

This jennet started me down a whole new path with my donkeys. I have had her since she was a weanling. Bought her at a sale. She was bred to sorrel, and produced gray foals, but when I crossed her with LUA Mr Tee was I surprised! She produced the deep rich blacks and Mr Perlino. I have no idea what is behind her, but she obviously carries the black and ivory gene. I have several of her foals, including Mr Perlino, Blondie, Paige, Sootie and Miss Addie. She is a foundation jenny that will also retire here.

Contessa and Goldilocks both have the same sire, Sir Booberry Creme, and their dams are half sisters. I am keeping them both to add to the breeding program in the future. Contessa has black, ivory and sorrel in her genetics. She is a nice jennet and will definately continue to be an asset to the herd.

Goldilock's is the darkest ivory I have ever had born here. She is a black based ivory. Her FULL brother, born in 06, is black. Everyone who visits the farm, zeros in on her. She has a distinct "yellow" color in her summer coat. She looks "dirty" but the yearling pictures of her are of her after a good bath. I am looking forward to what she may be able to produce in future years.

      Grand Dam:  Merry-Go Round's Miss Addie, 34" Gray-Dun


Star is the last foal for the '06 season and what a "star" she is. Her dam, Shady, is one of three of the DD Aces High daughters I have. Star has a extensive black pedigree that also includes the ivory gene. She has a cute little star on her forehead. She looks like she will have good bone, and she is very correct. What a great way to end a foaling season!

I do not think that Black Star is black, she looked it as a foal, but now appears more brown, which means something is diluting the black whether it be A or Ccr, I do not know. She measured 30 1/2 inches on her 2nd birthday. She is a nice jennet with black genetics and possibly carrying the Ccr gene. I can not see any sign of a cross or stripe on her. She has good conformation and will stay small.

Mirage is the FULL sister to Girlfriend, who sold at the 2006 Great American Miniature Donkey Sale. Her dam, Miss Addie, is the FULL sister to both Sootie, and Mr Perlino. Mirage has good conformation and presence. She also has nice big ears. She is full of personality. She is a deep, rich black and I expect her to mature at about 34" like her mom.

She turned 2 in July. She is black with no cross or stripe, just a bit sunbleached right now. She has good conformation and a nice head.
