One of
our first Max daughters, and she is a beauty. Ariadne had a banner
year in 2008, appraising EEEE 91 and finishing her ARMCH at the
age of 9 years young. Ariane appears to be following in her dam's footsteps, appraising 90 as a second freshener and 91 as a 6th freshener. For

Danu returned home in 2014, and was a 6 year old first freshener in 2015. She was a beloved pet for her first 5 years, and as such is as sweet as the day is long. I was thrilled to get her back, as I have nothing from the lovely Danu, and all descendants of Ariadne are precious to me. I am also not sure that I can have too many Rebel daughters. Freshened with a very nice first udder for an old lady. Her second fresh udder has greatly increased capacity with the same nice attachments. For more pictures, click here to go to her page.

One
of my favorite kids of 2010 both for her stunning looks and for
her loving personality. Actually quite an amazing pedigree. I missed getting this doe bred for 2012, which was a shame, but in the meantime she squeaked in one last show as a junior doe, and managed to win her junior leg in style with a Best Junior Doe in Show to go with it. That makes our third Hunk daughter to win BJrDIS, along with Peregrine and Verdandi. Her first udder did not disappoint either. Happy with her LA score as a first freshener. One of our young stars.

Lovely, much like her dam, but sweet, a nice contrast! Not a particularly stunning first LA score, but advice is that she is a keeper with lots of potential. Very happy with her on her second freshening. Same super attachments, much increased capacity (milking over 6 pounds on her first milk test in 2014), and a pretty darn decent LA score considering she hade been in milk at that time over 7 months.

Cirrus seems to have many of her dam's strengths, and all of her grumpy personality. If she also inherited her dam's business-like attitude to her roles in life, we will get along fine! Cirrus had her own ideas about when or if she should have babies, so she got herself bred both for January and for July in 2013, and September in 2015. She thus studiously avoided being appraised unitl her 2017 freshening, but has a stunning udder, a ton of capacity and a very strong will to milk, being one of the most difficult Nigerians to dry off I have enocuntered. She refused to stop miling despite once per day milking through the winter of 2015, and was so determined to keep going that I just started milking her before the 2016 Nationals and brought her along. At 9 months fresh she placed 16th in her class, beating at least 3 finished champions. For more pictures and information, including udder pictures, click here to go to her page.

I just love the way this cross, essentially a line breeding on the famous Bay Watch/Nonpareil cross, seems to be working out so far. All four of the kids were just gorgeous, and I have pretty high hopes for this lovely doeling. Sweetwater is another word for fresh water, I decided to name this beauty after the goddess of the river Shannon in Ireland. As a yearling first freshener, Sionainn was still a gangly teenager, but her udder potential was obvious. Now I am very glad si finallymanaged to get her bred again, as she has had a great year (as a 5 year old 2nd freshener!) For
