He may be small, but this Miniature Donkey is big on personality! Born in 2009, Wee Ones Farm Tennessee Titan is an eye-catching tyger-spotted gelding. He is performance-trained, which means he competes in obstacle trail course, carting, jumping, and halter conformation - and has won many titles for owners Deb and L.J. Mix of Wee Ones Farm doing so! His coloring is unusual for his breed, which commonly is dark brown or grey. Titan's coat also has small round spots known as tyger spots, and even has one that is shaped like a heart!
The first Miniature Donkeys arrived in the U.S.A. in the early 1900s, and the breed itself originated in the Mediterranean area of North Africa, and more recently, the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Bred to be a pack animal and to pull carts, these small and hardy animals generally stand no taller that 36" at the withers and their life expectancy is 30-35 years! While they have the reputation of being stubborn, in reality, miniature donkeys are simply cautious. These intelligent animals are eager to please, and Titan is no exception!
