Dairy Girl

Like any good present, our Dairy Girl is full of surprises!  When born she had a pink nose with a couple blackish spots on it, we called her a black and white.  She was named Clarabel after the classic Disney cow by Charlotte and boy were we all surprised when she didn't turn out black at all, but a dark merle!  This color change was not outwardly apparent until she began to blow her lovely long puppy coat to start to regrow her adult long coat.  That was when it became obvious that her limited black spots were not plain black at all but a beautiful black merle (hidden)!  As her adult coat has grown in, her merle pattern is again impossible to see, but it is there in color and DNA.  After a considerable amount of time without any noticable growth, I am glad to say that Dairy Girl is getting to be stockier than her brother!  A good thing too as a girl as small as Mason will likely turn out would NEVER be bred her at Midwest.  Now that she has matured, she is just under 8 inches at the withers and weighs nearly 5 cobby pounds. She has a beautiful round applehead and wonderful stop!  Born on April 15th and just three minutes younger than Mason, Dairy Girl will breed for us at Midwest in February of 2010 when nearly 2 years old for her first litter. 

Dairy was exposed to outside stud "Cheech" by TL Cuties.  If breeding took place, litter is due on or about April 13, 2010.
