I have only listed DBS Awards here not any MMDA Awards won by our Donkeys.
All the above awards were against Standard and Miniature Donkeys.
We did not show much in 2008 and hardly at all in 2009, with none of our Qualified Donkeys attending the Supreme show in 2009 due to Johnny Paychecks illness.
Welcome to Our web site!
Our goal has always been to breed Miniature Donkeys which will do well in the showring and later make a valuable contribution to the Breed.
As we are presently the ONLY Miniature Donkey Breeders to have bred both a DBS Champion and a Reserve DBS Champion we feel we are achieving this.
We still feel we have the best yet to come, indeed Outlaws foals are taking us to a new dimension and will not be copied in this Country, look around then come North to see the Best!
I have not felt the need to import stock for several years as our homebreds are exactly what we would look for abroard!
We look forward to the future with our own stock striving for more show Champions for ourselves and others.
“Quality” is a term that is often used among breeders and for us it is over all “Correct Strong Conformation” with the genetic ability to produce selected preferences in breed type. We have not purchased or bred any animals carrying dwarfing traits, we will not compromise our conformation to acquire small (micro mini) animals. Miniature Donkeys as my Smooth Collies are after all working animals!
I never compromising on Temprement either but do like confident Donkeys as they make the best show Donkeys.
We do not/ have not bought for colour alone unlike many other Breeders.
*Arranbrook Miniature Donkeys are the UK no 1 source for exports and our Donkeys have been selected to build new Herds in Belgium, France and Ireland. With further exports to add to established Herds in France and The Netherlands.
Just keep in mind that in this Country jealousy is rife!!!!!

My lifelong interest in Horses, ponies & hounds with 30 years of showing collies means I have always had an understanding of fliud movement with correct conformation, something I do not believe can be taught.
I have strictly appllied this throughout my own personal selection and breeding program.
While we have never actually claimed to be the best we know our Donkeys results and especially the type of foals we breed continue to speak volumes for us.
*Please note (yet again I was the first UK breeder to make this announcement which was originally on my foals page) due to the present economic climate Arranbrook foals will be few and far between for the next few years, I am only really breeding for myself at the moment, unless I have enquries for show stock.
I still show and breed my dogs at the highest level, (yes that includes Crufts) go to www.smooth-collies.com to see more with Top Quality puppies of Finnish bloodlines due now. Bookings are coming in fast for these puppies!
I also presently serve on two Donkey Breed Society Committee's.
I am also a Donkey Breed Society judge and a Smooth Collie Breed Specialist judge.
We freely offer help and advice, lots of after sales advice as always, see my Testimonials page, please note (again) I was the first in the UK to add a Testimonials page to my web site.
Visitors always welcome by prior appointment. We do ask for a small donation in the form of a cheque made payable to the Donkey Charity of our choice.

Kiterra's Outlaw, the FIRST and ONLY Coloured Champion Miniature Donkey in the UK and he's a Tricolour!
For those wishing to breed for colour, Grey and white will give plenty of Grey's, colour produces colour!
Breeding two coloured Donkeys is not recommended due to the LWG always breed solid to colour which gives 50% chance of colour!
