*The Only Miniature Donkey to take The DBS Royal Lancashire Reserve Inhand Championship*

*Only the second Miniature Donkey to Ever win the Prestigious Royal Highland show Inhand Championship*

Serious Breeding  =  Astonishing Results!

However distinguished a Donkeys show record maybe, what matters most is his or her impact as a Producer! 

NB:  *A Donkey Breed Society Inhand Championship is the highest award you can gain in the UK *             

All Championships listed have been won in well filled classes, I do not list wins where only one or two Donkeys where forward on the day as its self defeating and extremely misleading!     

                                                                                                                     See our Awards page for more details.

Our 2010 foals have now all safely arrived and exceeded our expectations!

Welcome to Arranbrook Miniature Donkey Stud, not hobby breeders, we are one of the few serious Select Breeding establishments in the UK . 

We Specialise in breeding Select Miniature Donkeys of All Colours with that Extra something for the show ring!

We do not Breed Any other animals preferring to devote our time to this wonderful Breed.

We believe Miniature Donkeys were bred and should remain to be Athletic and Capable animals.  Our Herd consists of Donkeys with Grace, good athletic stride and balance with a deep hip and level topline, being short coupled and have a beautiful eye and expression. 

Through years of careful selection of outstanding Herd Sires and Jennet's we are now able to offer Beautiful Jennet's and Top Quality Jacks  for breeding, show or gentle, friendly pets.

 Arranbrook Donkeys are bred for Quality, Type, Soundness and the True Miniature Donkey Temperament.

*We offer shipping throughout Europe using local superior Race Horse transport Companies*

_______________________________________________________________

My goal was always to produce Miniature Donkeys that are as close to the National Miniature Donkey Association's / DBS Breed Standards as possible.  Donkeys which will stand out in the show ring and later make a valuable contribution to the future of the breed.  

  My lifelong interest in Horses, Ponies & Hounds with almost 30 years of showing Collies, means I have always had an understanding of Correct Conformation ,which I do not believe can be taught, you either fully understand it or you don't!

                 I  have strictly applied this throughout my selection / breeding program.  

           I still show my dogs at the highest level and presently serve on two Donkey Breed Society Committee's as well as being a DBS Trainee judge.

We Freely offer help & advice

I am extremely proud that in the early years my herd had such a wonderfully successful start ,

Breeding our First DBS Champion from our first foal crop!  We are the ONLY Stud in Europe to have achieved this!

 This was thanks to our much loved and sadly missed foundation Herd Sire Multiple English Champion

Country music's Johnny Paycheck,  above,  click here  to read about him.   

When I decided to put my Herd together I quickly worked out that this well known Proven MALE tail Line would give me

a fantastic start to breed the type of  Miniature Donkey which would make sure

*I could bred for excellent Conformation and the Correct True Temperament*

something which seems to be overlooked by many, thus my Herd is staying True to the Breed Standard. 

This one bloodline of Johnny Paycheck's has more Worldwide Championship winning stock than ANY other I have ever come across. 

This very strong Male Tail Line, which our own

*Johnny Paycheck HAS carried on not only through his outstanding show record but also now his progeny*

 in particular possess the best heads and eye appeal in the business with exceptional Temperaments and their Famous look at me ring presence. 

Of course you have to find the right Mares to compliment the Jack then know which other lines to breed to for the continuation of your Quality.

**See our Select Jennets page who have been chosen over the years to compliment this

and our latest bloodlines perfectly**
