I have now reached a milestone, 30 years of producing, showing & breeding healthy beautiful dogs and latterly equine. 

 Where has the time gone?

Our record shows the experience, having bred Top level Champion and winning stock in good numerically strong classes, along with honesty & integrity shown both here at Arranbrook and now Breckamore (www.smooth-collies.com) collies

Our homebred Donkeys are superior both in conformation and temperament but with added style and stunning pretty head and eye appeal.

                                    Arranbrook Stud adheres to Donkey Breed Society rules putting our Mares health first

Besides breeding Champions we have exported Donkeys to Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Ireland

 Also having customers in the Midlands, all over the South of England and Scotland.

My goal has always been to produce Miniature Donkeys that are as close to the National Miniature Donkey Association's / DBS Breed Standards as possible. 

As we are the ONLY Stud to have bred a DBS Champion as well as a DBS Reserve Champion we feel we have achieved our goals but strive for more homebred Champions. 

By Champions, we mean overall show Champions not merely Points Champions.

 We breed 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 fluid movement with 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 Personal selection / breeding program.   Whilst we don't claim to be the best our results have always spoken volumes.  Please note I did not show at all during 2009 due to the loss of Johnny Paycheck.

Obviously several other UK web sites are now copying my style of site content, a compliment maybe?

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