Little Molly is a sweetheart. She's very tiny, and at a little over a year of age, was smaller than some of our weanlings. She has a very square build, and the straightest legs ever. We are happy with her and plan on adding her to our brood jennet band in 2006.

Breeding Status: Molly was exposed to our jack, Buddy, over the summer of 2006. She appears to be nearing her delivery date and we expect her to foal sometime in July 2007. This will be her first foal!

Bee was born here on our farm and through the years we've watched her grow into a really nice brood jennet. Bee was born jet black with no cross and only had a smidge of white on the tip of her nose for quite some time (click here for her baby picture). Now, as an adult, she has kept her black color, but does have a visible cross. And her nose? We were surprised to see the white surround the top part of her muzzle around 2 years of age. Regardless of how she has changed, we are happy to have her in our herd and are excited to see what she is capable of producing in future years.

Breeding Status:  Bewitched was bred to our jack, Buddy, throughout 2006 and had her very first foal, a dark brown jack named BeDeviled, on 7/10/07!

Tiny, tiny, tiny... that's how we describe our Baby. Super stocky and compact, with her dad's pretty little head. She was born with one heck of a set of rear legs on her, nothing to fault her on. We think she'll make a fabulous show donkey and future brood jennet.

Breeding Status: Baby Kakes' last foal was Sophistication, a dark brown jennet foaled on 9/29/07 and sired by our red jack, Buddy.

      Grand Dam:  Ding A Ling, 34" Gray-Dun

Calli is a gorgeous jennet, so uniquely colored, especially around her face and the tyger spotting on her body sets her apart as well. She reminds me so much of a smudged up calico cat! Some of her spots look black, some brown. Combining her with our new upcoming tyger spotted jack "Tyger" when both are old enough, should produce a super duper tyger spotted baby!

Breeding Status: Callie was bred to our jack, Buddy, and foaled a gorgeous spotted jennet foal, Camouflauge, on 6/5/07! This was her first foal.

      Grand Dam:  Ass-Pirin Acres Florina, Gray-Dun

Dora is just as her name describes her, ADORABLE!! My 7 year old son named her for us when she was just a few hours old. He kept saying "she's adorable... she's just so adorable!".... Dora is tiny, and we expect her to remain tiny as mom and dad are both small, well built and stocky. We decided to keep Dora here with us as a future brood jennet because she is just that good. We have watched her progress and cannot fault her in any way. She is also a farm favorite here, as she's followed in her mom's hoofprints by learning to scoot herself underneath our fencing at will. Jessica and Dora have found themselves lifelong homes here with us as our animated lawn ornaments that like to greet visitors, literally, with a 'hoofshake' at their car door.

Breeding Status: Dora was exposed to Tyger throughout 2006. She appears to be in foal, however, we are not certain. We will watch her closely and hopefully she will have her first foal before the end of 2007!

31.25" Black w/Red Highlights
DOB:  5/13/04
Birth Height: 22"

Dam:  Shorecrests Kandi Kisses, 32" Red
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Red
      Grand Dam:  Gladybrooke Ms. Ditto, 33.5" Dk Brn/White Spot

This little jennet is put together like a little tank! Her color is very unique -- not the typcial black, but more of a black cherry coloring, especially around her face where sorrel coloring is very apparant. Her mom, Kandi, was bay/brown when we purchased her with sorrel highlights on her face, but as she's matured, she's turned into a gorgeous sorrel. This little one also has a jam-packed pedigree, which includes donkeys like Valintino 50, LN Redsonnehi and LN Nighthawk. She's got a rainbow of colors in there too, lots of sorrels, browns, blacks and spots and many ancestors are 32" or under. Kandace has the prettiest head and her build is perfect, squarer than square and back legs are terrific too. If all of that wasn't enough, she's got the prettiest trot I've ever seen on a donkey. She holds her head up high and brings those knees up and I swear she holds her tail up too just like our Arabian horses! I think she's been watching them too much! Kandace will be staying here with us as a future brood jennet. At almost 14 months of age, Kandace is smaller than my 4 and 5 month old weanlings, and has kept her perfect conformation at that. We cannot fault her and are excited about the possibilities she may bring to our future breeding program.

Breeding Status: Kandace has been exposed to Tyger since 11/5/06. We have not seen her come back in season, so we are hopeful that she has settled for a late 2007 or early 2008 foal. Time will tell! This will be her first foal.

34" Grey Jennet *MSF (masked spotting factor)
DOB: 5/01/01

Sire:  Unknown
Dam:  Unknown
     

Dolly was purchased and added to our brood band early in 2006. At this time, Dolly is our only donkey who carries an unverified pedigree. It is rare for us to add a jennet to our herd without knowing any of her history, but Dolly's conformation and build compiled with her loving personality and beautiful markings made the decision to add her much easier. Although we've been trying to track her history down through the farm that originally registered her (TST), we've had no luck reaching them to pinpoint Dolly's parentage to date. Regardless, we were very happy with Dolly's first foal for us, and are anticipating something special from her crossed with our jack, Buddy.

Breeding Status: Dolly foaled a light red jack for us on 9/14/06, Jimi Hendrix. She was hand bred to our jack, Buddy, on 10/25/06, and we have not seen her come back in season. She appears to be in foal and we anticipate a late October 2007 foal!

Lacy is a beautiful girl just added to our herd at the start of 2007. She is gray dun but carries a red cast particuliarly in her summer coat. Her pedigree boasts small sizes ranging from 30.5" to 34". She is a Fisher's Ghost granddaughter, linking her to M&M Eric the Red and LCR Valintino 50. Her past is packed with Fisher's breeding on her dam's side, which puts multiple frosted spotted whites in her blood. Her sire's side brings in more color with her sire, grandsire and greatgrandsire all being red. Lacy has had exceptional foals in the past, one of which was Maplewood's 27 Mojave. who is currently being used as a herdsire in northcentral Pennsylvania.

Breeding Status: Lacy is mother to Mojave, born 10/3/03, and Drifter, born 4/15/05. Lacy has been exposed to our red jack, Buddy, since April of 2007. We anticipate a spring 2008 foal from this pairing!

She has a colorful history which includes at least 3 frosted spotted whites, reds, grays and spots. Her friendliness and pleasant attitude just add to the mix that makes this jennet very special!

      Grand Dam:  McDonald's McBubbles, 32" Gray/White Spot

I've been waiting for a spotted jennet from Betsy ever since we purchased her... and this little girl was worth the wait! Gypsy is gorgeous from her head to her hooves and everything in between. I don't think I've ever seen a prettier head on a foal and she is the first tri-color spot we've produced. Photos make it hard to tell, but in person Gypsy has gray legs but her body color is sorrel, and her white spots set it all off perfectly. Combine her unique coloring with her solid pedigree and great build, and she is very near "perfect". Sorry to say, but at this time we've decided to retain this fabulous jennet as a future Shorecrest brood jennet!

Sorry, not for sale... but we just had to share her photos!

Little Sara is a gorgeous light pink/red jennet foal. She has a nice pedigree behind her, on both top and bottom, including Fisher's breeding on her dam's side. Fisher's Ghost is Sara's great grandsire through her dam and Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee is her grandsire through her sire. Sara has a wealth of small sizes and reds in her background and should mature out to 32" - 33". She is put together very nicely and will be an asset to any breeding program as she matures. Sara is one of our favorites this season to date and will be in the running if we decide to keep one or two of this year's jennet foals.

Dark Brown Jennet
DOB 2/13/07

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Sorrel
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Sorrel
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Sorrel

Dam:  LDF Lucinda Marie, 32" Gray
      Grand Sire:   M&M Macho Man, 33" Spotted
      Grand Dam:  WC Cleopatra, 34" Black/Brown

Cori is a sweet natured, quiet yearling. We had planned on retaining her in our herd, but we are feeling the need to cut down our numbers this year, and Cori was one of the difficult decisions we had to make. Cori is shown above in her foal photos. She has grown up a little since then, however is still quite a pretty jennet.

Cori just turned 1 year old February 13th, and she has kept a nice, rich dark brown color and is also keeping her nice compact size. Conformation wise she has a nice square build, round rear and a short back. Her rear legs are not as perfect as some, however, she is young yet, and I have seen many weanlings and yearlings go through a gangly, awkward stage at her age and then improve upon maturity. For that reason I am not overly concerned at this point and do not see any reason why she cannot go on to become a valuable brood jennet for someone.

Cori was DNA typed as a foal and carries that certification of bloodlines on her paperwork through the Miniature Donkey Registry. I expect Cori to mature no taller than 32-33". Both parents are very compact and small, I expect Cori to follow suit. Cori carries reds, blacks, browns, grays, spots and even frosted spotted white in her pedigree, so the possibilities of what she can produce in the future are wide open.

Brown (with red highlights) Jennet
DOB 9/12/07

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Red
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Red
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Red

Dam:  Dewey Meadows Nightshade, 35" Black
      Grand Sire:  Dewey Meadows Gucci, 31.5" Black
      Grand Dam:  Dewey Meadows Lucinda, 35" Brown

Ellie is a gorgeous jennet weanling with wonderful conformation and the personality of a chocolate lab! Ellie has exceptional bloodlines in her background, and although her mother is on the taller side, Ellie's sire, Buddy, brings in a wealth of small heights (all the way down to 29.5") that likely will influence Ellie's foals size-wise come breeding age.

Carrying Dewey Meadows and LCR bloodlines on her dam's side, combined with predominantly LN and Lawzyday breeding on her sire's side, this foal has a bright breeding future ahead of her. Ellie would also be a good candidate as a cart donkey for someone since both mom and dad have nice, stocky builds. Ellie is a sweetheart, and like all of our donkeys, she is looking for a new home with at least one other donkey as a friend. She is registered through the Miniature Donkey Registry in Texas.

Gray Jennet
DOB 6/22/07
Birth Height: 21.25"

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Sorrel
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Sorrel
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Sorrel

Dam:  Shorecrest's Molly Brown, 33" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire:  Heartland Acres Gus, 31" Black
      Grand Dam:  Orchard Farms Anita, 32.5" Dark Brown

Torrie is a sweet little jennet, very tiny, petite and feminine. She has the prettiest head and expressive eyes. She'll climb right up onto your lap for your attention. Gray in color for now, but she does have brown through her coat. I expect her to mature around 32" or so. She has a full pedigree with many notable ancestors throughout, including LCR Valentino 50, LN Redsonnehi, and grandsire Lawzyday Farms Cherokee. Her background is strong with sorrels on her sires side and blacks and dark browns on her dam's side most in the 29.5" to 32" range. Torrie was born on the day of my two daughter's softball tournaments -- hence the name "Torrie"! Torrie will make a fine brood jennet or pet for someone. Visit our 'newborn' page for more photos!

Dark Brown Jennet w/Intermediate Muzzle
DOB 11/07/08

Sire:  Wit's End Tyger Heart, 33.5" Dark Spotted
      Grand Sire:  Sunset Acres Speedway Racer, 31.5" Black/Brown w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  Windcrest Noelle, 32.5" Brown/White Spot

Dam:  D.W.E. Ivy, 33.25" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire:  Windcrest Skeeter, 29" Brown
      Grand Dam:  D.W.E. Lena, 33" Gray-Dun

A gorgeous little jennet, Izzy is just spectacular. She's an odd color. Some days she looks charcoal gray, sometimes smokey black, and sometimes deep dark brown. Her muzzle is a question as well. She has the slightest white on the top of her muzzle. At this point, we're not sure if she will turn out with NLP or not. At any rate, she is just as friendly as she is pretty.

This is the second foal we've had from Ivy since adding her to our herd, and we are very happy with what we're seeing from her. Izzy's brother, Ivan, we have retained in our herd as a possible future herdsire - he was just that good. Izzy has the same build as he does, with her nice square frame and thickness to her legs and chest. She no doubt has a bright future ahead of her.

Jessica and her half brother, Barney, were the two donkeys that started it all for us, and I can guarantee Jessica has earned herself a lifelong home here!  She is a very small, stocky jennet with perfect conformation from head to toe and has a terrific personality.  Jessica is our escape artist -- she can scoot out under any fence in any of our pastures at any time and travels back and forth between the pasture and yard at will.  We call her our animated lawn ornament!  She uses the bushes for her scratching post, the flowers as her snack (mums are yum-yum!), and even 'helps' by taking the laundry off the clothes line!  Jessica has some wonderful ancestors and a rainbow of colors in her pedigree, which contains 206 known ancestors tracing back to a variety of original imports.

Breeding Status:  Jessica foaled a tiny gray jennet, Shorecrests Lil Annie, on 8-21-03. Jessica was rebred to our sorrel herd sire, Shorecrest Buddy, in September, 2003 and surprised us with an early baby this year, Shorecrests Adorable, a sweet 20" jennet foal on August 13, 2004.
