Lacie's Extended Pedigree

Lacie has excellent conformation, a beautiful mammary and a wonderful temperment to match. She has one of the highest AGS Classification scores in the Nigerian Dwarf breed ~ a 92!!! Her total score of 92 certainly reflects her overall quality. Lacie was Linear Appraised with a FS of 90 (Excellent), at a little over 5 years old, making that her Permanent Appraisal Score! Our Appraiser was extremely impressed with Lacie ~ ESPECIALLY her mammary. We feel so blessed to have Lacie as our foundation doe. She will definately spend the rest of her life with us!

Lacie is a very feminine and stylish doe with lots of sharpness, pliable dairy skin, being deep and wide. She also possesses great spring of rib and strength of bone, being very sharp and angular, with a strong front end assembly. Lacie has a very capacious udder that is still socked on, with long, plump, near plumb teats, making her a DREAM to milk. Her udder is butter soft and milks down to nothing. She has a very high rear udder, nice udder arch, good fore extension and a wide udder floor. Though her rear udder is very high, I'd like to see a bit more extension, and a stronger MSL.

Lacie's almost full sister (same sire, and dam is Lacie's Dam's sister), GCH Jobi Deana 5*M 91, placed 3rd at the ADGA 2010 Nationals and Best Udder in her class at Nationals!! Her son has been accepted into the 2010 AGDA Spotlight Sale as well! There is consistency and depth of pedigree in this line as evidenced by excellent appraisal scores, show wins, etc.

Blossom's Extended Pedigree

Blossom has beautiful general appearance and dairy character, having excellent body capacity, being deep and WIDE. The overall quality of this doe is evident by her AGS Classification score of 90.4 (EX) as a 3rd freshener, as well as VG scores (88) on her 2009 & 2010 ADGA Linear Appraisals.

Blossom was shown for the first time at 3 years old, 4 months into her 3rd lactation, and won 1st place twice, then took Reserve Grand Champion Sr. Doe behind our finished Champion doe, Jobi Lacie, earning her first official Champion leg in both AGS & ADGA. We rarely show, but do hope to get her back in the show ring again in the future.

Blossom has a capacious mammary, with very good attachments and a very good foreudder, with a very nice shape and arch to her udder. She has good sized orifices and nice udder texture making her easy to milk. I would like to see her teats more plumb and a bit more height to her rear udder. Blossom exhibits great dairy temperment with a strong will to milk, having very cooperative milking manners. Blossom is an extremely devoted mother.

Sugar Maple's Extended Pedigree

Sugar is a very dairy doe having FLAT bone, being very sharp and angular, with excellent body capacity. She has a very tight front end assembly, is long bodied, having very high, sharp withers. Though her rump appears to be steep in this photo, she really levels out on the move & is not steep at all. She has very nice general appearance~I only wish she had a prettier head. Sugar Maple's udder is butter soft, and she is easy to milk, having nice sized teats and open orifices. She has better teat placement than her dam, but I still wouldn't mind having them a bit more plumb. She has a very nice udder arch and shape. I'd like to see a stronger MSL.

Sugar has a pedigree chock full of successful show animals and very productive milkers. Sugar freshened for the 2nd time this year with much improved capacity, which is expected since she had a single her first freshening, and quads her 2nd. As a matter of fact, on her AGS one day milk test as a 2nd freshener, at 44 days fresh, she milked 4.6#'s, making her a 9th generation AGS star milker!! Her paternal 1/2 sister, Joyful Hearts GD Fayth *D VG made the AGS Top Ten for High Milk Production Awards on one day milk test, placing #5 in 2009, as a 2nd freshener, and milking 4.9#'s. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sugar's name in the Top Ten for 2010 as well.

Sugar's dam, Blossom, at her first show, won 1st place twice, and then took RsGrCh Sr. Doe to our MCH/CH doe, Lacie, at the 2009 ANDDA Specialty Show, earning her first Champion Legs in both ADGA and AGS! Blossom is an impressive 8th generation AGS * milker, and tied for 10th in 2009 AGS One Day Milk Test for high protein! On her AGS Classification she earned 90.4 ~ Excellent!

Sugar is an extremely devoted mother, kids very easily, and has the will to milk with excellent dairy temperment. She still wants to be a lap goat at 2 years old! She even stole a bottle of milk from my hand and drank from it! Silly goat!! HAHA
