Surprise was our pride and joy and is still the cornerstone
of our breeding program. She was long and level, very
elegant, with near perfect fore, rear and side udder
attachments and good medial. She also had plumb milkable
teats. At 13 years old Surprise was still freshening,
still throwing dynamic, outstanding kids, and still
had the udder of a 3 year old! This doe amazed me! She
was exceptional in every possible way, and the epitome
of what we are looking for in our breeding program.
For this doe to have held up so well for so long speaks
volumes. She was a perfect example of longevity of function!
**Surprise passed
away on January 4, 2005, from old age. She will remain
here, at the top of our website, as she will never truly
leave our herd. Her blood runs deep here, and I will strive
for the rest of my life to produce another such doe, and
to do honor to her bloodline. Surprise was the epitome
of the Nigerian Dwarf doe, and will always be our ideal
here at Flat Rock Farms. Not only did she earn her Master
Champion award, she produced daughters and granddaughters
as good or better than herself, including MCH/PGCH Flat
Rocks Opal 2*D. She has produced sons whose daughters
excel, and she earned her *D through her progeny, having
2 daughters with *D and a son with a +S. She was a productive
doe in all areas, the show ring, the kidding pen, and
the milk pail. Apart from her various accomplishments,
Surprise possessed a giving and loving personality. She,
as her dam before her, was my friend. To say she will
be missed is an understatement. Surprise will be mourned.

sister to Champion Design, Calico Rose is extra long bodied
with a wonderful udder. You see it all the time, but this
picture really does not do her justice. She was in the
show ring once, and that time was her last, as she doesn't
enjoy it and she makes sure everyone knows it. She is,
nonetheless, a favorite around here. Callie is a gorgeous
doe with a great pedigree who exemplifies the functional
longevity that we expect from our animals.

Lexus
is another one of our older does, and will always have
a place in our hearts. I fell for her the first
time I saw her as a kid, and begged Carol Fleck until
she sold her to me. I have never regretted it! Lexus
is a very wide and deep doe. She has a very nicely
attached udder, which has held up well into her later
years. Ideally, her teats could be more plumb. Lexus
is around 18 inches tall. Lex's daughter Flat Rocks
Hummer is an exceptional doe.

her an excellent brood doe, who consistently produces
better than herself. She is very deep, very wide,

see her exhibit more dairy character and a bit more
lateral attachment to her udder. Her fore udder
is smooth and tightly attached.

tight shoulders. We're so pleased with this breeding,
that we have repeated it several times and never been

Dinah is another
favorite of ours. She is one of our most dependable
does, as she always produces dynamite kids. Unfortunately
Dinah herself cannot be shown, she is very wild, and
stresses out easily, so it is simply not worth the stress
to her. She combines some of our favorite bloodlines,
that of MCH GW Royal Tern, her sire, and her grandsires,
MCH Goodwood Kauri Tree, and MCH Willows White Light'n
“E”. Dinah is a very correct doe, and excels in
mammary system. Her udder is very tightly and
smoothly attached, with great medial, and very plumb
teats. Her body is very level, and very deep,
but would benefit from a tad more length.

Fizz has really come into her own! She has tons of capacity,
while maintaining excellent attachments as she ages. Fizz
has a very broad area of attachment, with a perfect fore
udder, and correct sized, very milkable teats with huge
orifices. She also offers great rear udder attachment,
with good medial and lateral attachment as well. She is
a very wide and strong doe, who is also well under the

She certainly carries the udder that her sire, Flat Rocks
Gem, is known to produce! Image's dam, Willows Gin Rummy,
was a favorite foundation doe in our herd, and her daughters
continue to make an impact. Image is a very long, wide
and deep doe, who just drips with dairy character, and
has a wonderful front end assembly, combining those qualities
with her exceptional mammary system will make this doe
a presence in the show ring.

At

had an exceptional udder, and Fortune was her last kid.
Fortune is not a show doe, but a very solid brood doe
who produces better than herself. She has great legs and
feet, good width, depth, and length, but she is loose
in the shoulder. Her udder has tremendous capacity, but
could use higher rear attachment. She has large, milkable
teats, and a nicely extended fore udder.

This is one of my favorite young does. Boo is a
near ideal Nigerian Dwarf. She displays both the
dairy character and strength that this breed is noted
for. Boo is long and level, very deep, and standing
on excellent feet and legs. Boo lived with my grandfather
for a while, who does not breed, so she was a very late
first freshener. She has the outstanding udder typical
of our Gem daughters. Standing in the pasture, she
is built just like Sunshine.

Bucks will not be offered out
of first fresheners unless the dam meets
our high standards
for mammary systems, and has the bloodlines to
back that udder
up. We will put your name down for one, but it is contingent
upon evaluation
of the dam's udder. Buck kids that are offered out of
first fresheners
are offered at a considerable savings which will only be
available during
that does first freshening.
