All About Miniature Donkeys

Miniature donkeys are native to the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Sardinia. They have been extensively bred in the United States to produce a distinctively American breed of donkeys, which we call the Miniature Mediterranean Donkey. According to all information that can be acquired these donkeys are practically extinct in the land of their origin and have been brought to their current state of being an excellent breed by breeders in the United States who have bred for size, disposition and conformation.
