Doe For Sale

 Melody

Here she is with a 2 month coat, after just weaning her last litter. She has since been clipped to the skin for the summer. She is kind, a good mother, and a great fiber producer. She is 1 year old and 53% German. Her black coat is on the fine side for a German cross, but nontheless easy care and non matting.
I am keeping one of her daughters.  She is $125.

Alas, I cannot ship her.

I am located in Hudson, NY.
