About The Society

Donkey's Head

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, and has worked to achieve this on behalf of all donkeys for 43 years.

We believe that a donkey is not just an ornament for your paddock and that a busy donkey is invariably a happier donkey.

Change to passport fees:    Donkey or Horse passports for members are now £18, foals up to the age of 6 months are now £12.
When sending in new applications or passports for transfer of ownership, please ensure that you have the envelope or package weighed and that the right rate of postage is applied.   Passports fall into the 'Large Letter' rate, 90p first class for a single document rising with each additional one.

Calendar Photos 21 Jan 2010

With all the snow we have over this past month we are hoping there will be no shortage of photos of donkeys in the snow for our calendar, also any photos of Carol services, Nativity Plays,and taking Father Christmas on his rounds will also be welcome.
Many thanks to everybody who sent photos in of the London Parade if there are any more out there they will be most welcome to add to our display.
