Deirdre is
pure Twin Creeks breeding, closely linebred on Twink's Pixie and
Weisbaden, and is an improvement over her dam, Summer
Blonde, in the area of feet and legs, teats, and medial
suspensory ligament, while retaining Summer's nice qualities
in other areas, including her sweet and quiet personality--all
of which reflects well on her sire Giacomo. A powerful little
doe, she still receives lots of positive comments from judges
on her sharpness and dairy character (yes, really), which are
sometimes more evident to the hands than to the eye. As a 1st
freshener, she placed a respectable 3rd in her class at the well-attended
and very competitive 2007 AGS National Show. She did succeed in
earning her dairy star in 2008 on butterfat, despite my
my radically irregular milking that year. Thanks, Deirdre. This
year's udder is just as beautiful: high, and even wider than before
with yet more capacity; at 14 days fresh her unofficial milk total
was over 6 pounds. The judges who awarded her GCH in 2009 all
commented on how correct she is in all ways, and on her excellent
dairy character, as well as her outstanding mammary. Judge Jeremy
Lezniak said, "This doe is everything a Nigerian Dwarf doe
should be." Despite having won GCh 4 times already, Deirdre
still needs an leg at an official AGS sanctioned show to earn
her MCH. She has only one living daughter at this time, who I
regettably sold, but we do hope to see her freshen at some point,
and expect great things from her if she does.
