Dam- Twin Creeks Tres Colores
Show Record: 1x AGS Grand Champion Senior Doe
Tease is a doe we had admired for years and now finally had the opportunity to add her to the herd this Fall. Tease's littermate brother The Full Monty also lives here at Poppy Patch Farm. Tease is still a beautiful doe and standing the test of time even as she turned six this Fall. She has taken a break from the show ring for awhile but we plan to get her back out there again to collect more ribbons in 06. Tease kidded January 25th and all we can say about her 6-year-old udder is WOW! Her udder has not changed a bit from as it was when she was only two.
Poppy Patch FM Kiss Me Kate
DOB-4/29/06
Sire- Ponders End The Full Monty
Dam- Esperanza ZZ Charity
Kate is a adorable sweet girl. Charity's kids are normally friendly but Kate more like glued to your leg pesty friendly. It is very difficult to get a photo of her without anyone holding her back because she always gets too close. She is a very nice looking little doe so far. She is a bit shorter-bodied compared to her sister Matilda. Kate freshened with buck/doe twins from Rebel. Her first-freshening udder is very nice but if we could change it we would like to see a bit more extension to the fore. Sold(DM) Kate is the dam of Poppy Patch RC High Fashion
Poppy Patch BTO Bella Blue
DOB-4/9/06
Sire- Poppy Patch BT Bowtie Optional
Dam- Poppy Patch FM Betty Boop
Bella is a really striking doe with the most striking china blue eyes we have ever seen. They stand out more than usual because she has black eyelids all the way around each eye on a white face. Bella has grown up to be a long dairy type doe with a beautiful udder although not quite as well extended and smooth in the fore as her dam's she is still a very nice doe. For sale bred to Playboy. Sold thanks Melissa! Bella is the dam of Poppy Patch Rhapsody In Blue.
Poppy Patch BT Bowtie Optional
DOB- 3/29/05
Height- 21"
Sire- Copper Penny Black Tie Affair
Dam- Twin Creeks WB Embraceable
We just couldn't resist keeping Bow Tie especially since he and his brother Tux are now Black Tie Affair's final kids ever. He has his daddy's trademark china blue eyes and conformation. Plus his dam is Twin Creek's WB Embraceable! He has a very striking chocolate pinto coloring. Bowtie has now gone to live with the ladies at The Big W Ranch in Wenatchee. He is the sire of Bella Blue and grandsire of Rhapsody In Blue.

Sire- PromisedLand LD Royal Flush*S
Dam- Esperanza ZZ Charity
Felicity rejoined our herd this August after having been away two years. Thank you Carol for helping track her down and Sherry for allowing her to come back to live with us again! Felicity is our Betty Boop's dam and Charity's first daughter from when we purchased her as a bred doe. She has the same wonderful friendly personality of her dam and her daughter. This photo is a dry kid photo but the only one we have of her clipped. Felicity kidded with 1 buck and two does sired by Ponders End The Full Monty- the same breeding that produced Betty Boop. Sold. Thanks Carol!

Sire- Copper Penny Black Tie Affair
Dam- Sugar Creek's PG Jane Seymour
Shirley is the cutest sweetest little blue-eyed girl! I fell in love with her the moment she was born. Shirley is very long, deep, and sharp, not to mention the fantastic mammary genetics behind her. Sold bred to Rebel Shirley's 07 daughter Lil Miss Broadway remains in our herd.

Poppy Patch SF Picasso
DOB- 4/29/04
Height- 22"
Sire- Sugar Creek's FR Silverfish*S
Dam- Twin Creeks WB Embraceable
Picasso was the little runt of Emmy's 4 kids so we hardly took notice of him at first. This guy just keeps looking more and more amazing every day. Picasso has so much dairy character and length of body coming from his sire and what should be fantastic mammary genetics from his dam. We just love the possiblities this guy has as a herd sire. Sorry he is unclipped in this photo, we have not been showing bucks anymore so have not been clipping them.
Ponders End PN Ballerina
DOB- 3/10/02
Sire- Ponders End Panache
Dam- Ponders End Striptease
Show Record:
Ballerina was our very first Nigerian Dwarf doe so she has always been very special. In general appearance she shows excellent, angularity, length of body, width, depth, levelness over the topline, and smoothness of blending. Her mammary system is very well attached all round with an attractive globular shape, a wide rear and well extended fore, as well as ideal teat placement although her teats could be larger for milking. We recently added Ballerina's beautiful momma Striptease to our doe herd. Ballerina's 2006 daughter Daisy Mae also remains in our herd.

Sire- Goodwood KW Frasier

Dazzle is an extremely strong, powerful doe, showing lots of width and depth throughout. She has a nicely attached mammary with a good medial support and a very smooth foreudder, although she could have more correct teat placement and a little more height into the rear udder she is a very nice doe overall with wonderful breeding potential. Dazzle's 2005 daughter Razzle Dazzle remains here in our herd. Dazzle was sold bred to Picasso. Thanks Tricia!

2x AGS Best Udder in Show
Sadly Tease will not be showing again in 06 after a tragic battle the end of April with mastitis which led to a serious bacterial pneumonia infection, she has been dried off. We are just extremely happy her life and her udder were spared from this illness. Poor Tease is dry again now in 07 by no fault of her own. This time she came down with a very rare case of metritis 1 week before her due date and had to be delivered early by C-section. Problem was her doeling died after having gotten her cord twisted around her neck. Fortunately we did get a healthy baby boy who will be retained. This girl's misfortunes continued in 08 with a ruptured uterus at kidding due to the way scar tissue healed from her c- section the year before. Again very rare condition. We lost her single buckling this year. Her uterus was removed due to the rupture and she is now officially happy and retired. We will love her and spoil her rotten for the rest of her life. Sadly she was never able to be shown even once the entire time we have had her due to her many problems. If she were shown I would bet she would have been a MCH/CH easily. We will treasure her relatives still in use in our herd breeding program.
