Kisses has QUITE the story (read about it below). Kisses is out of a beautiful does who had a LOVELY udder (Bliss). Her sire is very small and also has stunning conformation and milk behind him. Kisses lost her udder shortly into her first freshening due to gangrene mastitis, but it was very correct, snugly attached with a high, snug rear udder, a nice foreudder, well placed and sized teats that were very easy to milk. Her dam, Bliss, had lovely conformation, a super correct udder that was snug with excellent attachments, well placed and sized teats. Kisses inherited her dam and sire's length of body, level topline and over all correct conformation. She has gorgeous breed character with better ears than either parent and a very roman nose. Oh, and she happens to have moonspots all over her too.

Kisses story... As a first freshening 2yr old, she contracted mastitis on her right side within a few weeks of freshening. We treated it both naturally and conventionally, and were able to save her, but she began to slough off just her teat. We know does can lose half of their udder and go on to live healthy, productive lives, but with just losing the teat, but not the udder, we figured she would not be able to have kids again. We do not have a vet in the area that would be able to remove the udder. I knew that there was a lady who just LOVED Kisses and also knew that she had access to some really good vets. I reached out to Noriko, and told her the situation. I told her I would gladly give Kisses to her if she and her vets thought they would be able to do the surgery. After consultations and photos, they decided to give it a go. Kisses moved out to Colorado with Noriko and her surgery and recovery went well. She delivered healthy triplets for Noriko and was a wonderful mother inspite of the kids having to be bottle fed. In 2021, Noriko had to get out of goats and offered Kisses back to me. We are SO glad to have her come back to us!

Funny fact about Kisses is that when you look at her head from the side, the markings on her chin make it look like she's puckering her lips to kiss you!
