MINIATURE MEDITERRANEAN DONKEY ASSOCIATION
Incorporating THE MINIATURE DONKEY STUD BOOK & REGISTRY OF THE UK

WELCOME


Welcome to the Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association web site.

The Miniature Mediterranean Donkey is a unique and entirely separate breed of donkey. Their height generally averages between 30" and 34", and the maximum to be accepted into the association general register is 36".

We are a non-profit making association, not a charity. Our purpose is to ensure the welfare of these special little donkeys and to assist breeders and pet owners.

Miniature Mediterranean donkeys with at least three recorded and registered generations are accepted within our stud book. Miniatures are not bred down standard donkeys, nor are they bred from any type of dwarf donkey. You can find out where this breed originated from on our History page.

There are a few foals available every year and we suggest you join the association. You will receive our full colour magazine and a list of registered breeders or telephone Sylvia Rome 01572 787423  for more information. 

A miniature donkey will not thrive on its own. Donkeys are herd animals and will pine without a companion. A young gelding (male) will make the most loving pet and will always remain gentle and reliable. Responsible breeders geld colt foals before they are six months old unless an 'entire' colt has been ordered. Jennys (female) also make wonderful pets and are available too, however they are usually more expensive.

When you buy a Miniature Mediterranean Donkey, whether it is a foal or an adult, ask to see the registration certificate issued by the MMDA, we are the only recognised breed club with the Eurpean Mother stud book that is recognised by DEFRA. Ensure you buy what you are paying for by checking the registration certificate. A copy of a certificate is on page.

It is a good idea to join the Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association who will be able to supply you with a list of breeders and you will receive six newsletters per year. The newsletters contain articles on health and care of miniature donkeys, advice on training, foals for sale and members letters etc. The cost to join is just £18 and you may print off an application form from this site.
