I’m struggling to find nice things to say about Gingy because she was SO naughty the first day we tried to get pictures of her. I’m used to a little fighting and screaming at first, since it’s usually my kids first time being collard and set up for these updated pictures. But she was so over the top, flailing, throwing herself on the ground, wailing, bearing down on the collar choking herself out, the whole nine yards. No amount of petting, playing nicey-nice, walking in circles, etc changed her behavior, so I put her back in her pen and said we would try again another day. I’m surprised none of my neighbors called someone, because I’m sure it sounded like a small child was in some serious pain.

​

So I tried again the next day and wouldn’t you know, she came out of the pen and parked herself all square and pretty like a seasoned little show goat, gave us pretty ears and everything, all in maybe 10 seconds or less. So I gave her lots of pets and put her away, not bothering with front or rear shots, to keep the experience pleasant for her and end on a good note.

​

With all of that said I’m quite pleased with the final result! I think it’s a nice representation of the lovely young doe I see in front of me each day. Feminine and dairy, which is pretty consistent of all of the Best Man daughters I have had born. She’s super open when you put your hands on her, and maintains that openness into her escutcheon. She is a granddaughter of one of my herd favorites, GCH Gypsy Moon Maiko *M EEEE90 and I can’t wait to watch her mature!
