First Fresheners




Welcome to our First Freshener page.   Here are our does who have freshened for the first time.   I do not judge our girls too harshly on their first freshening, as subsequent freshenings can change an udder quite a bit. This can be either bad or good!!
Please excuse the lack of/out of date pictures. We will be giving our girls a haircut as soon as we are able, and posting udder shots as well.

Cedar Glen Towhee
D.O.B - January 28, 2007
HES - not yet
Height - 
Black w/blue eyes 

SIRE:  Galiano's Dante
(Nova Lea Midas Touch X Tupence Sapphire)

DAM: Twin Creeks TA Ebony In Lace
(Piddlin Acres Thundrus Aplause X Piddlin Acres Petticoat)

  A doe from lines I am not used to using. This girl could use a better topline- though she is nice and small. She has been bred to  Sugar Creek NT Tight Wad for spring kids. Towhee can definately use help in the rear udder department- so hopefully Tight Wad will help in that respect. We may be retaining a doe.


Veliraf Spen's Toad Lily
D.O.B - March 3, 2007

Chocolate Chamoisee

SIRE: Sugar Creek SS Spencer
(Twins Creeks SS Storm Surge X Ponders End MTB Passion)
DAM: Veliraf MP Pellionia
(Ponders End MTB Money Pit X Karim's Spotted Dove)

     What a little powerhouse of a doe!  Although I was surprised that Pellionia only had a single- I am quite happy that it was a doe. She's line-bred on Twin Creeks PD MoneyInTheBank. This doe is TINY! I would be surprised if she's over 18". She freshened for us in 2008- lots of capacity- I would like to see longer teats- but we'll see what 2009 brings. She has been bred to  Velvet Acres RB Tuscan Sun for spring kids.

Veliraf P's Thistle

Buckskin w/white

SIRE: Veliraf SG Pugalist
(Sugar Creek FR Snow GooseX Sugar Creek's MM Pyrite)
DAM: Veliraf SG Sequoia
(suagr Creek FR Snow Goose X Veliraf SS Natalie)

Can't remember the last time we had twin does born here.......I thought it would never happen again :) Both Thorn and her sister Thistle, will be retained until at least after freshening, I really do need to see what Pugalist is capable of doing. He seems to put nice general appearanced on his kids.  Torn has been bred to Stud, as we need to see what HE is capable of producing. 
    

Veliraf P's Tarragon
D.O.B - June 10 2007
HES - not yet
Height -  
Chocolate and white

SIRE: Veliraf SG Saguaro
(Sugar Creek FR Snow GooseX Veliraf SS Natalie)
DAM: Veliraf Blue Spruce
(PromisedLand Blue Prince X Veliraf Blue Phlox)

What a nice little doe. Plain-Jane colour wise, but that's the way it goes here :) Tarragon freshened for the first time in 2008 with twins. She has been re-bred to Cesaer's Villa FZ First Rate in the hopes that she will have a nice doe kid for me.


Veliraf P's Tamarac
D.O.B - June 13, 2007
HES - not yet
Height - 
Flashy black and white

SIRE: Veliraf SG Pugalist
(Sugar Creek FR Snow GooseX Sugar Creek's MM Pyrite)
DAM: Veliraf Blue Reseda
(PromisedLand Blue Prince X Veliraf Gig's Spam'n'Eggs)

What a nice little doe. I'm somewhat surprised her mom didn't have trouble with this kid, since she is so small.  She freshened for the first time with triplets. They were TINY. I would like to see a higer rear udder on this girl and hopefuly being bred to Cesaer's Villa FZ First Rate will help in that regard.


Veliraf P's Mountain Tassel
D.O.B - July 13, 2007 
HES - not yet
Height -  
Gold and white

SIRE: Veliraf SG Pugalist
(Sugar Creek FR Snow GooseX Sugar Creek MM Pyrite)
DAM: Veliraf Blue Rosa
(PromisedLand Blue Prince X Sugar Creek NR Vanesa Redgrave)

Tiny little girl out of a set of triplets. She's a light cream colour, really quite pretty. Nice angulation in the rear. Her mom, Rosa, does need a higer rear- but she does have tons  of capacity.  Tassel freshened with a nice little udder- though it could be higher in the rear. She has also been bred to Dill's LD 5Card Stud to see what he will produce.     

Veliraf P's Once apon a Thyme
D.O.B - July 26, 2007
HES - not yet
Height -  
Gold and White

SIRE: Veliraf SG Pugalist
(Sugar Creek FR Snow GooseX Sugar Creek MM Pyrite)
DAM: Gay Mor's LS Napa Valley
(Gay Mor's JJU Larksong X Hayseed's BW Madeira)

I have a feeling that this girl is going to be special. She did freshen as a yearling and even produced a doe kid who is NOT black/chocolate and white!! Amazing. She has an udder that is very similar to her mother's, nicely shaped, fairly good capacity, good medial. We'll have to see how it is with subsequent freshenings- but I think she'll be a keeper. She has been bred to Velvet Acres RB Tuscan Sun for her 2009 Freshening- we can't wait to see what comes of this. Tuscan has been producing some very stylish kids.
