Herd Sires

Country Music's George Jones     •     Country Music's Garth Brooks

Country Music Miniature Donkeys breeds only one bloodline. Our herd sires are National Champion Halter Jack, Country Music's George Jones and his outstanding son, Country Music's Garth Brooks. Father and son are almost identical: both are 30", dark brown, have exceptionally strong conformation and uniquely refined heads.

We have carefully selected our fine brood jennets. These lovely jennets have excellent pedigrees, they are small, sturdy-boned and they also have beautiful refined heads.

Our breeding program has been tremendously successful; resulting in outstanding foals that have been purchased throughout the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Europe, Mexico and New Zealand. The offspring of George Jones and Garth Brooks have won over 25 National Championships in four countries.
