Miniature donkey
The miniature donkey is one of the easiest breeds to start off with. They are small, around a half-squeaker, and they like to play.
Like all donkeys, they like to socialize and play with others. Since the miniature donkey is very social, starting off with a companion or group is a good idea.
To pass this down as a breed, they are officially designated as an agriculture pet. As an agriculture pet, you can have them in your backyard and enjoy seeing them play!
While these donkeys do not require much care and maintenance, they may need time to return to their natural behavior. If this happens, you can pick up another little one or you can switch breeds!
The miniature donkey is one of the easier breedres to start out with because they are small enough to not be shy.
Mammoth donkey
The mammoth is one of the more interesting donkeys available in pet shops, at least in theory. He or she is a giant version of a donkey with oversized shoes that make him or her move like a walker.
When you look at the mammoth, you see large shoulders, an elongated waist, and a short but thickly furred leg. This looks like it could be easy to train, and it will be!
The challenge will be initial training because the donkey will not know what toys are good toys and what doesn’tmatter. Once trained, this little horse is beautiful to ride!
Like all donkeys, the coincided can be untrusting of people. Therefore, it is important to develop proper socialization protocols with this horse. Look for a other horses your home and begin training now.
Jennet
The Assette is a beautiful breed that looks almost identical to a Russian Blue. They are known for their high-pitched, sometimes cute sounding calls.
The Assette is a relatively easy breed to housetrain. They will need time and patience to learn how to use the toilet. However, this breed is not recommended for first-time housetillers due to the difficulty in learning how to take a bath.
They are also not recommended for beginner trainers due to the difficult part of training when the dog needs time outside after being housetrained. This can be tough when you need him ready on time!
The second part of training an Assette is carting.
Marsh + miniature
The little one in the picture is less than a foot tall. This is the kind of donkey you can ride!
These donkeys are very social and can be trained to do many tricks such as riding on someone’s back or running. They are a very entertaining animal to spend time with so look into getting one as soon as possible.
They are not recommended for training because they are so easy to lead and drive. The only way to get them to work is to use a little pressure and motivation.
Their hooves are hard so if you have kids that want to play with animals that have soft feet, get a tractary breed! They can still be trained so just make sure they are comfortable before working them.
Assette
The assette is a beautiful breed that is resistant to many diseases. They are also known for having high backs, big feet, and short legs. This breed is not for the novice dog enthusiast, as they are hard to tell if they are Assette or not!
Assettes come in many coat patterns and sizes, some being longer or with more thick hair than others. They are generally round with strong muscles and a gentle nature. They are good with children and other dogs, making them an ideal match for your home.
They do not live long after the age of five, so getting them as soon as possible is important. Getting this done legally can be complicated or difficult depending on how advanced the state laws are.
Aztek + jennet
The jennet is a mediumsized donkey with a short, thick neck and thick legs. It is named after its distinctive white nose and tail.
The jennet is nicknamed the c-note because of its long, c-shaped tail. This tail can get very high as it gallops!
These donkeys are very versatile. They can be ridden at three different levels of competence: noontime rider, beginner, and expert. Noontime riders are looking for a little exercise before working on their coffee fix.
At beginner level, you can use safety equipment such as a halter and soft soft shoes. At noontime riders, you need more support to prevent them from remounting too hard or putting pressure on their joints.
Mini assette
The mini assette is a breed that is very small at around 35–40 kg (80–100 lb). They are named for their short, square shaped body.
Theassogeismer is the technical term for what size the assette is. They are called anette because of their almond-colored eyes. Anette breeds are also slightly longer than other anettes.
These little individuals are a joy to look at and ride! They can be found in areas with some snow, where they can navigate by trailing one leg behind the other. This allows them to move more easily over soft snow without damaging their feet or legs.
Riding an anette is a unique experience because they will walk in a circle before trying to get out of the house. This lets you get acquainted with them before breeding, which helps maintain the quality of the animal.
Standard jennet
The standard jennet is a kind and gentle breed. They are known for their sweet nature and easy going personality. They are not aggressive by any means, but can be if needed.
The jennets are born around six to eight weeks old and are tested for fertility at that time. They aren’t fully tested until seven to nine months when they stand up and go in a circle.
They aren’t with childable until two years of age and even then they cannot give birth naturally so they must be artificially inseminated. This process is called artificial insemination or A-injection.
After this, the calf has to stay at the vet’s overnight to get an ultrasound to see if it is stillborn or with a rare condition that affects the skeletal system.
