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.

Wishbone is one of the nicest does we have - it's
nearly impossible to find fault with her. Full sister
to Celebration and littermate sister to Flat Rocks Dot
Com, she is long and level with a great udder, and very
tight shoulders. We're so pleased with this breeding,
that we have repeated it several times and never been
disappointed.

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.

Prize Patrol is the combination of our top animals,
MCH FR Surprise *D, and her son, Flat Rocks Flash +S "E".
Prize Patrol has really come into her own as a mature
doe. She has a lovely, wonderfully attached udder. We're
very pleased with this little doe's development. We've
retained her daughter by Flat Rocks Fox Fire "E",
Flat Rocks Ever After; also see Evie's full sister Ella
Enchanted.

Shadow
is closely line bred on our own FR Gem, and she is everything
we expected her to be! This doe just has it all, she is
structurally correct, showing great dairy character, and
the style and grace we've come to expect from Gem. She
reproduces herself as well, with two stunning daughters
in New England, Flat Rocks Penumbra and Flat Rocks Golden
Shadows, both with outstanding mammary systems and dynamite
conformation.
