| How To Buy a Miniature Donkey From Us Updated 2-25-08 |
Best Friends Farm Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys are bred to produce
wonderful dispositions and conformation in pet and show-quality miniatures. All
our little donkey foals are sweet, gentle but spunky, and human-loving. They get
that way FAST because we can't keep from loving on them, picking them up,
hugging and scratching them, and yes, even kissing them. My husband won't
admit to that, but I think I've spotted him puckering up a couple of times.
We specialize in purebred Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys, with pedigrees
back to the original imports from the late 1920's. Isn't it nice to know you are
getting the very best!
We also carry a variety of very sweet pet-quality miniature donkeys. Pet-quality
usually means the conformation is not up to the show and breeding standards of
the National Donkey and Mule Society. Examples might include a slight
overbite, under bite, or cow hock, which do not affect the behavior and health of
the donkey, but nevertheless make them pet quality rather than breeding or show
quality.
We have baby miniature donkeys born most almost every month of the year and
every pocket book, so we will very likely have a baby for you. The babies can be
weaned at four months (click here to see why on our Ethics Page). We use two
jacks with different bloodlines and have many different bloodlines within our
family of jennets. Please take a look at our Breeding Plan Page to see how we
determine which donkeys to pair up for breeding.
MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU TO PURCHASE
STEP 1: Check our bestfriendsfarm.com For Purchase Page to pick a baby or
adult donkey you like.
STEP 2: Call us at 352-339-3908 to arrange a visit or to get more pictures and
information. Or use the convenient Contact Us Page to let us know you are
interested and to confirm that she is still available. (Baby donkeys go very fast).
STEP 3: Send a deposit to hold your favorite little donkey until she is weaned
and can go to her new home. The balance can be paid in installments before
pick up or at the time of pick up. You will receive a contract (that protects both
buyer and seller) and the business end is done! All you have to do is wait. After
you fall in love with one of our little foals, waiting is the hardest part!
You will have your choice of pet or breeding quality, affectionate donkeys for the
best price in the state of Florida and probably anywhere else. Check it out --
compare prices at gotdonkeys.com! You will be amazed at our very reasonable
prices. We aren't big yet and we don't show our animals, BUT our donkeys are
from show-quality, pedigreed stock and raised and trained with love.
FOR YOU
When you take your donkey foal home, we will send with her an owner's 3-ring
binder including:
We want you to be comfortable with your new donkey and we want her to happy
in her new home. We will do everything we can to make sure that happens.
Give us a call at the farm and we will happy to tell you all about our miniature
donkeys and answer any questions you might have.
Hope to hear from you soon,

| Our Daddy Donkey (Senior Herd Sire) Lawzyday Farm's Sancho Panza |
| Sancho is pedigreed to the original Sicilian Imports. See information about his excellent pedigree on our Herd Sires Page. |
| Sancho has to be the most gentle, loyal jack in the land. I am not exaggerating! He follows me around like a puppy. He waits patiently until I rub and scratch him. Sancho really gets his feelings hurt if I shew him away, so I always ask him politely to move off when I need to do some work. Good manners tell me to thank him for letting me get my work done. But even if I forget and leave without saying goodbye, he still loves me! By the way, all his babies have inherited his loving, patient disposition! You can't find a sweeter, better pedigreed daddy donkey anywhere! And you can't say that about just any daddy donkey! This boy is special! |
