The Donkey Breed Society is the British Society for everyone whose love and interest is in the donkey. Founded in 1967, the Donkey Breed Society seeks to encourage a fuller and more active life for those donkeys who are much loved family pets or companions to other animals. We believe that a donkey is not just an ornament for your paddock and that a busy donkey is invariably a happier donkey.

Barbara Roger says:  Hello everyone! only one day to get writing

Hope you had a good show! and hopefully you are beginning to recover and might be in a fit condition to think about something for Bray Talk.

As well as your reports perhaps a line or short comment on Rodbaston. I could have a page of one liners? And perhaps some photos? Not necessarily of donkeys?

Closing date next Friday 29th – so no pressure then...  

The Stud Book Committee are planning a 'Breeders Day' for Spring 2009 and are currently planning the programme and compiling a breeders' information pack.  Owners are invited to submit photographs of their active stallions for inclusion in this, together with with full details of their breeding, Donkey Breed Society Studbook Registration Number, where they are located, stud fee and terms of acceptance for mares.

Foal owners wishing to sell foals at weaning should be aware they must have a valid passort in their own name before doing so; the passport to be issued to the breeder and a transfer of ownership to be recorded and paid for by the purchaser after sale.  It is illegal to sell or move any equine without a passport.
