Pocket, is a such an asset to our breeding program & Australia's Mediterranean Miniature donkey gene pool. He has ALL the attributes we have searched for to promote our herd. He truly is the 'complete package'. We measured him twice at 28.5" and once at 28.75" .
Pocket Change not only has an outstanding pedigree, but exceptional conformation, black color, small size, intelligence, show presence, and loving personality. An outstanding jack in world terms - priceless for Poplargrove Stud and Australian Miniature donkeys.
Quote Dorie from Sunny G Acres,
"Pocket Change is small in size, big on color, and comes from a whole line of show champions… and Pocket is following in their footsteps. He placed 3rd in the Yearling Jack halter class at the 2009 NMDA Nationals in Shelbyville, TN. Thank you Karen Harris for showing him in that class for us. Pocket has a beautiful head, great back legs, and good overall conformation. He also comes with a full pedigree that includes blacks, browns and reds. We look forward to adding his small size, color potential, and genetics to our breeding program".
Update: Pocket Change is going to Australia!!! Pocket is an excellent herd sire, and in our opinion one of the best donkeys in the American registry. We are very sad to see him go especially since we did not plan to sell him. We were blessed with several of his wonderful offspring over the last two years, and are expecting several 2013 foals from him as well. Thank you Andy Hearn of Australia for your purchase of both Pocket Change and Pebbles!
Pockets first baby in the USA was a beautiful dark brown and white spotted SUPER TINY WOOLY filly foal, high seller of NASS sales 2012. Which proved he could throw both tiny offspring WITH great conformation and stunning color & Woolies!
We are thrilled with his foals at Poplargrove Stud - magnificent babies with his pretty head. We're looking forward to all his future foals!
Pocket will NOT be sold or moved on - he is The Best.
And soon his fillies will be bred back to Teddy Bear ... WOW ! What a future we hold here....
Pocket's magnificent tiny head, divine balance of body & color, and gorgeous round apple rear end are to live for ! LOL All this makes him just an amazing herd sire.... EVERYTHING we have searched for - for years ...
l have been asking Dorie for years for this jack - and he was not for sale...
We were ecstatic when Teddy Bear was born and then later ... Dorie finally agreed to let me purchase Pocket.
The USA imported jennets we personally imported, Candy, Ma Bell, Whistles, Teenie, Piper, Suki, Kisses ...... will be fantastic bred to Pocket... Honestly, we are ecstatic at the possibilities.. And what a herd.......
The best donkeys breeding wise, and American National Show winning Jacks packed full of National and World Champions, it doesn't get better than that !
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for."
This boy is all of these and more. He is everything l have l searched for over the years as our perfect herd sire.
We will only be breeding Pocket to our amazing imported girls, who have been VERY carefully selected, to compliment our boys and our studs long term goal...
"Quality not Quantity to improve the breed".
