The afternoon is warm and still. The thick Louisiana air smells of sweet grasses and wild honeysuckle. While sipping on sweet tea,  a miniature donkey is heard while he brays in the field…

Welcome to Whispering Pines Mini Donkey Farm located in beautiful Deville, Louisiana. We have been proud breeders of miniature donkeys since 2008. Miniature donkeys, or minis, by definition are under 36 inches tall, averaging two feet shorter than their standard donkey counter breeds. While most are easily recognized by their grey coats, our minis’ coats have a distinctive range of reds. Known for their mild temperaments, ours are raised in a social setting around children, making them exceptionally gentle and friendly.

With Whispering Pines Mini Donkeys, you can expect:

• • All animals to be in good physical condition whether they are sold as a pet or as breeding stock.
  • To be provided with health and breeding history, and with full disclosure of any pertinent information you should be aware of.
  • Animals to be behaviorally sound, living within the herd and not weaned earlier than 4 – 6 months of age.
  • Registration certificate, signed transfer, and pedigree records current with the registry
  •  of choice.
  • All sales guarantees be spelled out and signed.
  • Breeding stock that represent the guidelines outlined in the NMDA’s Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Breeding Standards (see links below).
  • New owner information about miniature donkey care, diet and other necessary information.
  • Your newly purchased donkey to be current on vaccinations, worming and hoof trimming. This information should be in writing with dates and types of vaccines and medications.
  • A properly fitted halter and lead included in the sale.
