To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with Ripple in the early weeks following her birth.  Once Rian had to be euthanized, I tried to find some positive points about the shy, short eared little doe kid she had left me.  Well, once again, I have learned patience is a virtue.  Ripple has grown into a beautiful doe kid and easily earned a spot in our herd.  She has quietly turned from ugly duckly into a pretty doe with excellent depth/body, standing on correct feet/legs, with great width up into the escutcheon.  While she doesn't have the best breed character about the ears, I have seen purebreds with less ear and more control.  We are anxious to see Ripple freshen in 2010, and hope for her to continue the winning legacy of our American Nubians.  Ripple was selected Reserve Junior Champion at our last show of the season.  She has been confirmed bred to our new Junior Herdsire, Arizona.
