We are so excited to be the proud owners of this beautiful stud. He is a blue eyed white or ivory donkey and he's pretty famous. The (BEW) blue eyed white donkeys are not very common, so there are pictures of Duke in articles and publications about donkey color.
It was my mother who got excited about starting our own line of BEW donks, so we went looking. Merry Go Round Farm in Michigan helped us get started with this line. Along with Duke we bought a Jenny for him who is a carrier of BEW genes. Her name is Calypso and she is brown.
BEW + BEW = BEW
BEW + BEW carrier = 50% chance of getting a BEW
Hopefully Duke and Calypso will give us a nice little Ivory baby this time next year. It takes a year to make a donkey.
I'm off to read more excerpts on ABNA site. I haven't decided yet which one is my favorite.
