Well here is our only other Skippy daughter, being offered for sale this year. As with all our weanlings, the names we are using to identify them, are just pet barn names, till we get to know them and can give them names that either reflect their bloodlines, or personalities. She is another stocky small donkey with a beautiful head, so familiar with all Skip daughters.

If loud colour is what you are looking for to spice up your herd, look no further. Kewpie is getting to be a “darker spot” by the month, and she may yet go to the much coveted black & white spotted pattern. She will at the very least, be a rich dark brown & white. With her good square stance, she has that “post in every corner” look we here at Pekard strive for.

It seems this year Jeremiah, our spotted herdsire couldn’t miss. No matter what colour the dam, the spotted genetics we counted on Jeremiah to produce for us, came through like a charm. Jezzi is a fine example of this, with her dam being a black/brown, her daughter is a lovely spot pattern. Jezzi is like her mother and inquisitive, and loves close contact at all times with her humans.A very gentle sweet little donkey. If there are kids about, Jezzi will seek them out.

Jemma started out in life, a nice brown and white little donkey, and as you can see, she is anything but a plain Jane now! Her colour is definitely the shade we are striving for. Her dam is a true black and it really shows in Jemma’s loud black and white spot pattern. This is the most difficult to produce, and a real bonus having it in a jennet foal. This colour combined with her really nice square conformation, makes Jemma a winner all the way around.

Cherry is another loud coloured daughter of Jeremiah.She came into the world a little haywire, as her dam gave birth to her, under a fence.The dam was on one side of the fence, and the foal was born under the boards on the other side.We have the pictures! It had no effect on the donkeys, but it sure reminded us here at Pekards, why it is so important to be on hand for every birth.We have security cameras throughout the barn. Cherry has a really nice mixture of white and brown spotting, and makes her very easy to spot, way out in the fields. Her dam is another very black donkey, with a steady temperament, that Cherry has inherited.

Keester is an insult to her dam. Keepsake is the only un-friendly donkey I have personally met in 30 years of donkey raising. Her daughter Keester, has been choosing our company over her dams, since she was 2 days old, much to the chagrin of her dam. When she returns to her dam after following us everywhere, she is met with a "mothers tough love". This has not discouraged Keester from being the friendliest of twenty foals, born this year. Go figure!

Nana is the Tom-Boy of the jennet foals. She is pure black, with a little soul to match. Although quite petite, and born later than the others, she makes up for this with a very cheeky personality. She prefers to hang out with gelding colts, and is always late for dinner. She is easy to spot in the foal herd with her black face, and banana ears! She takes after her sire Rastus, and not Sassy her dam, who is very laid back.

Well her dams name is LUNA, and she is so tiny, well we just couldn't resist naming the baby TIC. There must be something to be said for late foals, as we find Tic to be another very out-going bold, "I'm not afraid of anything" type of personality.

We purchased Luna from Texas, and we all thought she was barren as she never seemed to "catch". We were delightfully surprised at birth of Tic, after Luna spent last fall/winter keeping Jeremiah company.

Ebony is our resident comic.When she was at OVC, keeping her Mom company, while she was recovering from cesarean surgery, she earned the distinction of this title.She kept everyone entertained stealing cell phones, stethoscopes, and whatever she could grasp, while they were examining her dam.. she has kept up her antics, since they returned home . She is another black donkey with a dark sense of humour.That aside, she is a black beauty with a stellar pedigree. Her dam Ajustabo, is well known in “donkey circles”as a superior brood jennet.

Until Oct.09 Beta was half of a driving pair.Then the other half, her full Sister was sold to Nova Scotia.I’m sure with a little work, she would quickly Catch on to driving as a single donkey.She is a lovely laid back little brown Jennet, very much like her dam Sassy. She came to us via her dam in foal from Saskatchewan.If she is not sold by spring 09 she will be bred to Jeremiah.

Elegance is easily recognized in our herd, because of her really loud colour. One would have to look far and wide to find a jennet that would come close to her colour pattern.We are offering her for sale, only because we can’t keep all of them, and her bloodlines are not as compatible with our program as some of our foals, that we will be keeping.Elegance will be old enough for breeding this spring. She is a rare find, with all that colour, youth, and really biddable personality, and carrying dual registration.

Malle is nice sturdy little brown jennet, that embodies all the really great things that make up a miniature donkey. She has really nice conformation combined with a truly affectionate sweet intelligent personality. She had her first foal for us this spring, and has been a great mother, with no problems along the way. She craves human contact, and will follow you around like a dog. She would make a great child’s pet.

Information coming soon.

Parfait had her first foal for us this spring, a lovely spotted boy sired by Jeremiah. He is not weaned yet, and the two of them could still be sold together. Her son “Periwinkle” has been gelded already. Parfait can be bred to the jack of your choice in spring of 2010.Her son would be an excellent driving donkey.

Jade is a really nice starter jennet,She has been started in harness, and has Taken to her training very quickly.She is a little taller at 35”, but perfect For driving, and as a brood jennet.She will be bred to Skippy this spring.

Twinkle is a sweet jennet, and was brought up in a small herd, so is very Used to being handled, and pampered.She will be bred to Black Jack in Spring 2010, or to the jack of your choice, when the time comes.

Keepsake is a great looking donkey with a nice deep pedigree, and she has given us two really nice foals since we brought her up from Kentucky USA. She is the only donkey we have that does care much for people. This does not affect the behaviour of her foals, which are over-friendly towards people She is very well bred, and is a hardy donkey, that would make a good companion for horses, as well as a good brood jennet.

Sassy has been really good to us as a brood jennet. We bought her from Sask. and she was in foal, with a foal at her side, both were jennet foals. She has since given us one more jennet foal, and we are in no rush to part with her. We have kept two of the foals, so we really have enough of her” line” in the herd , and could offer to a suitable home, that was looking for some of her world famous “Circle C” bloodlines. She is a great mom, and needs little attention rearing her lovely foals.

Pimi and her daughter Luna were both purchased from Texas. They were both quite wild when they arrived, and both have come around very nicely.Pimi however would prefer not to be handled but stands well for the vet and farrier.She would do well as a companion for young horses.She is bred for a spring 2010 foal, and has been confirmed by ultra-sound. She is also an excellent mother.

Tostita is the smallest jennet in the herd, and will remain that way .She is 29” now, and will not mature much past 30”.She is the very definition of fiesty. When Tostita wants something, she gets it, or everyone within earshot knows about it! Typical of anything of LN breeding, she is a superior jennet. Small, but with really nice conformation, and a good square stance to her. she is definitely an eye catcher.

We are listing these two together, as they are like two peas in a pod. They have the same sire and were born days apart, and have grown up together. Most donkeys have a special friend, but in this case the familial ties, seem to make them an even closer pair. We often have to look close to tell who is who. They both have Black Jacks gorgeous head, and deep intelligent eyes. They would really make a nice starter pair.
