Sol-Orr's Mini Silky Hall of Fame
This page is dedicated to the animals and
people who have made our success in Miniature Silky Fainting Goats
possible.
Below is a list of foundation animals that
were used to develop the look of the Mini Silkies. These animals are
very dear to us and we appreciate not only the animals but the
people we obtained them from.
Bayshore's Rogues Pierre
Alabama X Bayshore's Red Robin
Bred by Frank Baylis of Bayshore Farms in Toms Brook, VA.
Pierre was the very beginning of our quest to breed a small colorful
goat that had copious hair, bangs and facial hair. We bred Pierre to
many of our foundation does over the years to produce the look of
the Sol-Orr Mini Silkies that you are seeing today. Pierre passed
away November 12, 2008 at about 10 and 1/2 years old. There are no
words to express the love and the gratitude that we felt for Pierre
nor for how much we miss him. We thank Frank Baylis of Bayshore Farms from the bottom of our
hearts for allowing us to acquire Rogues Pierre so many years ago.
Bayshore's Napoleon
Alabama Son X Bayshore's Spike
Napoleon came to live with us at the same time Pierre did. He sired
Sol-Orr's Noah and contributed to the gene pool of the Mini Silkies.
He was an adorable Mini Silky.
Maraca and Gypsy
Cheedy X Sabrina
Bred by Anne McLaughlin of Honey Patch, these twin sisters
were so important in the development of the Sol-Orr Mini Silkies.
Bayshore's Rogues Pierre bred to Maraca produced Sol-Orr's
Renaissance, pictured below, our first Extreme Mini Silky. Gypsy,
bred to a Nigerian Dwarf buck named Freckles, (bred by Ed Kinser Of
Enchanted Hill), produced Morgan, a long coated Nigerian Dwarf
Doe, pictured below Renaissance. The produce of Maraca and Gypsy, Sol-Orr's Renaissance
and
Morgan, produced MCH Sol-Orr's Maggie Mae, the first MSFGA Master
Champion, shown below in our Master Champion list. Maggie Mae went
on to produce MCH Sol-Orr's Magnum by her grandsire, Bayshore's
Rogues Pierre. Magnum, also pictured below in our Master
Champion list, won 5 Best in Shows and a Best Coat in Show in
his show career so far. As you can imagine, these animals hold a
very special place in our hearts and we love and appreciate the
opportunity to have had them in our breeding program. Maraca passed
away February 27, 2006; she was 12 years old. Gypsy is still living
and just celebrated her 15th birthday on February 12, 2009.
Sol-Orr's Renaissance
Bayshore's Rogues Pierre X Maraca
Renaissance, our first Extreme Mini Silky buck, was a very
important part of our breeding program until we lost him in
September of 2003. Renaissance left a big hole in our hearts and
farm. We treasured the time that we had him and miss him immensely.
Sol-Orr's Noah
Bayshore's Napoleon X Nandeena
Napoleon was a first cross buck, that unfortunately we didn't have
with us very long. He produced some nice does and bucks for us,
including MCH Sol-Orr's Liliana and Sol-Orr's Pioneer owned by
Springs Run. We regret that he wasn't with us longer.
Morgan
Freckles X Gypsy
Morgan is still producing kids for us at 12 years old. Bred
by Anne McLaughlin of Honey Patch, she is and always will be a huge
part of the Sol-Orr Mini Silky look. How fortunate we were all those
years ago to have had her come and be part of our breeding program.
We are very grateful to Anne McLaughlin for allowing us to obtain
Morgan, Gypsy and Maraca in the mid 1990s.
