ALL THE COLOURS 

Due to the unavailability of the whole range of colours available in the world of sheep here in Australia 
we have had limited colours available to us but with work continuing we hope to add to the current available colours with the dream of having a spotted or patched Purebred Babydoll in the not to distance future.

"Only two different genes are known: black, and the less common colour brown (often called “moorit”)." ​

Moorit COLOUR

Rusty is a grade C 75 % Babydoll genetics and part of our breeding up /appendix program We are hoping that one day Rusty will be able to thru her offspring and their offspring bring about the first purebred Moorit Babydoll Southdown in Australia.

Rapid colour loss is where a lamb is born black but fades to a light brown.
They get lighter as the months go by despite exposure to the sun.
They often have white wool when the fleece is parted. 

MARKINGS 

NOSE RING 
White nose rings are visually stunning but they don't last What we have observed are they are not present at birth but Start to develop around the 8-10 months of age  It becomes quite Noticeable the during the Lambs second winter when the adult wool is now coming in But once shearing occurs the Marking doesnt grow back It is not visable at shearing or the following winters as shown in the Example below this is Smokey she is a Grade C 75 % Babydoll

Nose mark 

Nose marks can be as little as a penny or large enough to cover the whole muzzle Again isn't visible at birth but we have observed it develops over their life time usually not becoming visible until the lamb is over 18 months old 
We have found it to be Genetically passed on to most offspring who's parents carry the gene and display the mark. 
It is even in our Off white sheep although harder to see
