Foundation Does

RAVENCREST MCKENZI "MACK"

• Born: 17 Mar 2003
• Dam: Domingo Tequila Sunshine
• Sire: Ponders End Heatwave
• Color: Mack has 'eyebar' or 'angel' agouti patterning with partial white belt, roaning, random spots and a star. Her eumelanic areas are true black. Her eyes are gold.
• About: Mack is our herd Queen. She is gentle, friendly and somewhat stubborn. She is also quite curious, and loves to be scratched. She has turned out to be a great milker with wonderful tasty milk, and is central to our milking and cheesemaking.

RAVENCREST OH SUZANNAH "SUZY"

• Born: 23 April 2003
• Dam: RavenCrest Waltz-n-Matilda
• Sire: Tupence Glacier Ice
• Color: Suzy has 'eyebar' agouti patterning. Her eumelanic areas are true black. She has very little white spotting, with only a tiny star and nothing else. Suzy has dark gold eyes.
• About: Suzy came to us as a very sick little girl. I was stubborn, and despite her breeder's advice, insisted upon taking her. For the first few weeks of her life at FoxDog she was poked with needles, fed medicine hidden in bread crumbs and fussed over. She weighed 8 pounds when she came to us, less then 1/2 of what the other goats we got at that time weighed. Suzy is now a very healthy, spoiled rotten, bossy little goat. She has given us one wether, Cal in her first freshening and two does, Moonshadow and Sunshine, in her second. She comes from great milking lines, and we have high hopes for her does. Because of her illness when young, she herself does not milk very well.

JACKEEZEFARM MILK CHOCOLATE

• Born: 22 July 2003
• Dam: Kids N Kritters Starlight
• Sire: Munchranch East Bluebeard
• Color: Choccy has 'solid black' (ie no pattern) agouti patterning. Her eumelanic areas are not black though, but medium brown, and this is what gives her color. She has a white star, frosting, partial belt and roaning. Chocolate has gold eyes.
• About: Choccy is a good goat. She's shy and wary, and still not as tame as we'd like. She's got a distinctive face and voice. You recognize her when you hear her! She's also a very good mother and a great milker; we've come to an agreement on the milkstand. She and her progeny produce enormous amounts of kids at each litter and she has given birth to 5 kids in a litter, twice in a row. She nurses them all without help. Her daughter had 3 and 6, her granddaughter 4 in theirlitters.

JACKEEZFARM MIDGET "MIDGE"

• Born: 5 Jan 2003
• Dam: Sno Valley Cloudy Daze
• Sire: Moonshadow Dark Magic
• Color: Midge has the 'all black' agouti pattern. Her eumelanic areas are black. She has white frosting, star and partial bellyband. Midget has gold eyes.
• About: Midget is very small, considering she is our oldest goat. She's extremely friendly and loves to be scratched. She is currently the head doe in our large pasture and is on sabbatical from freshening, although she milks well when she is in milk.

Senior Does

FOXDOG STAMPEDE KELLY

• Born: 3 July 2004
• Dam: JackeezFarm Milk Chocolate
• Sire: Munchranch East Bluebeard
• Color: Believe it or not, Kelly is a goat with an 'all black' agouti pattern. Her white spotting is so prevalent it covers almost all the black and makes exactly what type of white spotting she has hard to decipher. Her eumelanic areas are true black. She has blue eyes.
• About: Much anticipated, Kelly was named before she was even born. She is a loveable little bundle of joy, cheeky, saucy, and always fun. Kelly will jump into your arms for pets, although she is really too big for that. She knows her name, and will call to you when you call to her. She is an escape artist, and fears nothing. She has had two freshenings and will be freshened this coming spring or fall.

First Time Fresheners

FOXDOG STAMPEDE IVY

• Born: 30 Dec 2005, just after 1 am
• Dam: Jackeezfarm Milk Chocolate
• Sire: AJUD LD Senor Bandido, 'Frito'
• Color: Ivy has a wide eye-bar agouti pattern, with the brown gene switched on, and white spotting including a belly band and topknot. She has pretty brown eyes.
• About: Ivy is very shy, the kind of kid who spends most of her time hiding behind her mother's legs. She's learning to be bold though, with the aid of a few hot dog buns. We think she has great promise, and she is just what we wanted from the breeding between Milk Chocolate and Frito. Suspicion is that she will develop into a lap goat.

FOXDOG STAMPEDE AMALTHEA

• Born: 29 Dec 2005, near midnight
• Dam: FoxDog Stampede Kelly
• Sire: AJUD LD Senor Bandido, 'Frito'
• Color: Amalthea is a black goat with white spotting. She has a partial bellyband and a huge white spot on her face. She has blue eyes.
• About: Amalthea is named for the doe who nursed the god Zeus when his mother had to hide him from the Titans. She bore the very first cornucopia, or horn of plenty. When her horn was broken it gave all the food and fruits of life. She was immortalized upon her death by Zeus as the constellation Capricorn. So our little Amalthea has a lot to live up to, but she's well on her way to doing so. She's got her mother's loving and curious temperment and is extremely friendly and sociable. She knows her name and will come when called. She absolutely adores hot dog buns.

• Born: 17 August 2006
• Dam: RavenCrest Oh Susannah

• Color: Sunshine is a beautiful light buckskin. She has a classic eyebar pattern with minimal black on her forehalf. Probably this black will spread as she ages, as did her mother's black. She has a white topknot and tail tip, and white spotting. She has golden eyes.
• About: Sunshine has a strong personality, and she is very wary of strangers. We hope to bred her to Casanova for Spring 2009 kids. She should make a good mother and good milker. Sunshine is for sale to the right owner.

FOXDOG STAMPEDE SKIMMIA "MONKEY"

• Born: 29 March 2008
• Dam: FoxDog Stampede Ivy
• Sire: Poppy Patch FM Casanova
• Color: Light brown eyebar/agout pattern with white and black spots and white bellyband, topknot, etc.
• About: Skimmia is called Monkey because she climbs like one. She hit the ground running after being born, and was climbing on her exhausted mother looking for milk within seconds. Her personality is lively and vivacious and she is both curious and intelligent. Monkey is currently the helper in the milk shed, or so she thinks.

FOXDOG STAMPEDE FLORENCE
